Meet the team

Fourteen people, no call centre

These are the people who will survey, draw and build your project. Not a subcontractor network, not a franchise. The same faces from first visit to handover.

Rob Thickett

Founder & managing director · Since 2011

Started the business with one van and a van-load of tools. Still surveys most projects himself, mostly because he can’t help it. If you get a call about your quote, it’s usually Rob.

Katie Thickett

Operations & customer care · Since 2011

Runs the schedule, the paperwork and the guarantee register. The reason your start date holds and your certificates arrive without you having to chase them.

Dan Whitmore

Architectural designer · Since 2016

In-house designer. Draws every project, handles the planning applications, and is responsible for most of the ideas customers describe as “the bit we hadn’t thought of”.

Marek Nowak

Lead site manager · Since 2014

On site every day, and the person who sweeps up at four o’clock whether anyone’s watching or not. Runs the build crews across garden rooms and extensions.

Chris Doyle

Loft & structural lead · Since 2018

Carpenter by trade, took over the loft side in 2020. Knows exactly what a Bournemouth 1930s roof will and won’t give you before he’s up the ladder.

Amy Fletcher

Electrician (NICEIC) · Since 2019

Handles every certified installation: first fix, second fix, testing and certificates. Also the person who quietly adds the extra socket you’ll be glad of.

Working with us

We’re usually looking for good carpenters

Our crews are directly employed, paid properly, and home for tea most nights because we only work within an hour of Poole. If you take pride in a tidy site and finishing things properly, send us a line. We’d rather hear from you speculatively than not at all.
