About us
CK Grainger & Son started in 1961, when Clarvis set out with a simple promise: build it right, keep it tidy, and stand by the work.
What started as a local bricklaying and small-works outfit steadily grew into a full-service building company delivering new builds, extensions, renovations and insurer-approved reinstatement across the UK.
Today the business is led by his son Christopher, keeping the family name — and the same standards — on every job.
We blend traditional craft with modern methods, fixed and transparent pricing, and on-site leadership from a Grainger when it matters most.
Our core values
Craftsmanship that lasts — Traditional skills aligned to current regs and best practice.
Honesty & transparency — Fixed, written scopes; clear inclusions/exclusions; variations agreed before we lift a tool.
Safety & compliance — Risk-first planning, RAMS, tidy sites, and smooth Building Control sign-offs.
Clear communication — One point of contact, daily updates on live jobs, straight answers.
Programme discipline — Start dates that stick, realistic timelines, dependable sequencing of trades.
Aftercare — Snagging done promptly, documentation handed over, warranty you can rely on.
Delivering exactly what we promised — safely, to specification, on time and at the agreed price — while keeping you informed and your home respected.
