Our story

A small firm. A long view.

We're developers and builders, based in Maidenhead. We work on our own residential schemes and on building projects for homeowners across Berkshire and the South East.

The parts of property most firms get wrong are the join-ups. The bit between buying a site and getting it through planning. The bit between the architect's drawings and the trades on site. The bit between handover and the first time something needs sorting.

We started Estate Crafters to do those bits ourselves. We acquire small residential plots, take them through planning and build them out. Alongside that, we take on extensions, conversions and refurbishments for private clients. Same office, same project managers, same trades.

Our work is insured. We carry professional indemnity. Build work comes with a written guarantee. And we still answer the phone.

How we work

Four principles, none negotiable.

Build it like we'd live in it.

The specification is the one we'd choose for our own homes. Proper insulation. Solid fixings. Plumbing you can get to if it ever fails.

Small enough to care.

We take on a handful of projects at a time. You'll know everyone working on your home by name. The MD signs the snag list.

Honest numbers.

Itemised, fixed-price quotes wherever we can give them. The working is shown. No surprise variations halfway through the job.

Stand behind the work.

Written guarantees on all our build work. If something needs putting right, we put it right. No argument, no email chain.

Want to talk?

We'd rather have a real conversation.

Send a short message about what you're working on. We'll come back within one working day, usually with questions.
