Family-Run Builders & Bricklayers Since 1977
Nelhams & Sons is a family-run building and bricklaying company founded in Staines-upon-Thames in 1977 and serving homeowners and businesses across Surrey and South West London.
The family team is led by Dave Nelhams, father and master builder, alongside brothers Jack Nelhams and Robert Nelhams.
Building knowledge and practical skills have been passed through the family, but the principles behind the business have remained straightforward: skilled workmanship, honest pricing, clear communication and treating every customer’s property with respect.
One or more members of the Nelhams family is directly involved in projects from the initial quotation through to completion, so you know who you are dealing with and who is responsible for the work.

A reputation built over decades
For decades, Nelhams & Sons has built its reputation on skilled workmanship, honest pricing, clear communication and turning up when promised. It is why so much of our work comes from recommendations and returning customers.
What began as a local family building business in 1977 has developed into a team capable of taking on everything from individual brick repairs and garden walls to extensions, renovations, groundworks and complete construction projects.
Whether the job is a repair, a new porch, an extension, a driveway or a full renovation, you can expect the same professional approach from the first conversation to final handover.

Dave Nelhams
Dave Nelhams brings the building experience and practical knowledge at the heart of the family business. His approach reflects the standards Nelhams & Sons has built its reputation on: doing the job properly, giving straightforward advice and taking pride in the finished work.
Jack Nelhams
Jack Nelhams works directly with customers and on projects as part of the family team, helping manage work from the initial requirements through to completion and maintaining the clear, personal communication customers value.
Robert Nelhams

When you appoint Nelhams & Sons, you deal directly with the family responsible for the work. One or more members of the family team remains involved from quotation through to completion.
Experienced, insured and independently verified
Long experience matters, but you should not have to rely on a builder’s word alone. Nelhams & Sons backs its track record with independent accreditation, insurance and customer reviews.
