Builders and property trades in Kirkstall

Kirkstall and its houses

Built round the ruined abbey in the Aire valley, with Victorian terraces and back-to-backs on the slopes, inter-war semis higher up and mill conversions by the river. Jobs come in from all over Kirkstall: Kirkstall Lane, Bridge Road and the terraces off Beecroft Street, and everywhere in between.

What we are asked to do in Kirkstall

Victorian terraces bring the same handful of jobs again and again: chimney stacks on the party walls, damp low on solid walls, wiring that has been added to over decades, and kitchens and bathrooms squeezed into small rooms. Much of the housing is rented, so landlords make up a big share of the work.

• Slate repairs and chimney stacks
• Rewires and landlord EICRs
• Damp-damaged plaster and ceilings
• Repairs between tenancies
• Kitchens and bathrooms in tight rooms
