Trusted builders and bricklayers in Staines
Building work that will make your home more practical and more enjoyable to live in – and the peace of mind of knowing it’s been done properly
Maybe it’s a small repair job that has been on your list for a while. Or perhaps you’re planning something bigger – an extension, a renovation, a new driveway or patio. Either way, we can help.
Nelhams & Sons is a family-run building company established in 1977. We manage every project ourselves, keep you updated throughout and leave the site neat and tidy. Based in Staines, we work across Shepperton, Sunbury, Laleham and the wider Spelthorne area.
The worries every homeowner has before building work starts
Even when you are looking forward to the finished result, it is natural to think about the disruption, whether the new work will match your property, and how the project will be managed day to day.
Will the work be carefully planned?
You want a clear understanding of what is included, when work will begin and what will happen next.
Will your home be treated with respect?
Building work creates activity, but the site should still be kept organised, safe and tidy throughout.
Will the finish suit the property?
Good brickwork and alterations should complement the existing home rather than look like an obvious addition.
Will you know who is responsible?
You should be able to speak directly with the people managing and completing your project.
That is why Nelhams & Sons keeps every project personal, clearly managed and directly accountable from start to finish.
One skilled family team, personally responsible for your project
Nelhams & Sons is a family-run building company based in Staines and established in 1977. Dave, Robert and Jack work directly with customers throughout the project, with one or more of the family team on site and responsible for keeping the work moving.
You are not passed between a salesperson, office and rotating teams. You receive practical advice from experienced builders, a clear no-obligation quotation and direct communication from the people completing the work.
The result is a more straightforward experience: your project is properly managed, questions are answered, the site is kept tidy each day and the finished work is completed with care.
“Clean, tidy, caring, reliable and friendly. They are great at what they do.”
