    How is a new kitchen going to benefit you and your family?

    Swanky kitchens seem to be popping up all over social media and television as one of the must-have features of any pinterest-worthy home. It’s the space in the house where social gatherings and quality time together will normally take place, so why not make yours something remarkable? If you love the way your kitchen looks, you’ll be more likely to spend more time there making memories with those you love.

    Socialising

    Presently, under current circumstances we’re spending nearly all of our time at home, so bring some excitement into your life by letting us help you design your very own bespoke kitchen. This will be a great place to relax, cook and socialise with your family during the remainder of lockdown, but also a fantastic way to prepare for better times ahead with extended family and friends. We specialise in creating kitchen/open plan living areas which would subsequently become your socilaising hot spot to entertain guests. So why not transform the beating heart of your home ready for those good times to come post Covid-19?

    Tailoring your kitchen

    Whatever size, there is always a way to fully utilise your space whether it’s knocking down walls or building an extension we can work with you to create the kitchen of your dreams. With a wide range of bespoke fixtures and fittings available you can really make it your own, whether you like that farmhouse feel or you are after a more sleek, modern look. There are so many options available. Islands have also proven very popular in recent years, in which we can incorporate breakfast bars, great for those busy mornings on the go.

    Energy Efficient / Good for the Environment

    We can work with you to create an energy efficient kitchen with modern appliances that will be more economic, which could cut your electricity bill right down.

    Special Needs / Accessibility

    We can fully adapt your kitchen to meet your individual needs, whether it’s adjustable tables, ramps or a lowered kitchen height, our team will work with you to plan your kitchen ensuring you have complete independence whilst ensuring quality.

    Increase the Value of your Home

    A new kitchen will add value to your home, so often wouldn’t be money spent, rather money invested. A good quality kitchen will last you 20+ years. .

    Save the Hassle of Having to Move

    Moving home is unnecessary when you can pour new life into your old home by working with what’s already there, and getting it exactly how you’d like it

    Electrical Services – NEW!

    wessex electrical contractors

    In 2020, Wessex Building Contractors launched a sister partnership and created an electrical branch- Wessex Electrical Contractors. 

    Here at Wessex Building Contractors, we realised that in order to offer a total package, on top of building, plumbing and decorating, we could help our customers by also including any electrical work, meaning you only need to hire one person, cutting down your time and cost!

    We went into partnership with senior electrician Neil, to ensure that all your home and business needs are taken care of, with the highest standard of professionalism and care. We can provide rewiring, wiring, replacement consumer units, EICR’s, maintenance and emergency call outs – so you can rest assured that your electrical requirements are in good hands.

    If you have any questions and queries, or would like a quote for any works please give our friendly team a ring on 01202 737 858 or contact us here.

    Google Analytics (first-party cookies)

    We use Google Analytics which is a service provided by Google to help millions of website owners like us. Google collect anonymous data for its Analytics service (i.e. they do not capture your name, contact details or billing information). They do this by using cookies to track visitor interactions. These “first-party cookies” (so called because they are placed by this site) are used to store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site or search referred the visitor to the web page.

    Social Media plug-ins (third-party cookies)

    In the last few years the Internet has become increasingly social. It’s no longer just about searching for information. People want to share what they are doing with their friends and love to tell them if they find something interesting or useful.

    We use a few plug-ins and tools on our site that aim to make it more interesting for you as a visitor (such as a map to show where something is located) as well as help you to share anything you find useful with your friends (such as with the Facebook Like button). Most of these plug-ins use cookies. They’re called third-party cookies because they come from another site.
