Restoration and Conversion

Suffolk is home to many beautiful historic buildings, and we are proud to help preserve them. Renovating older properties requires a delicate touch and a deep understanding of traditional building methods.

Our team has the following expertise:

  • Property Conversion: renovating old buildings into a liveable space whilst keeping the original bones and aesthetic.
  • Repairing Original Features: restoring timber beams, brickwork, and sash windows.
  • Sympathetic Updates: introducing modern conveniences like central heating and electrical rewiring without compromising the building’s historic charm.
  • Damp Proofing and Timber Treatment: addressing common issues in older homes to ensure they remain sound for generations to come.

Comprehensive Modernisation

  • Kitchen and Bathroom Upgrades: Installing contemporary suites and cabinetry to create stylish, practical spaces.
  • Internal Reconfiguration: Removing or moving walls to create open plan layouts that suit modern lifestyles.

Structural Alterations

Many refurbishment projects require significant structural changes to unlock the property’s full potential. Unlike simple decorators, we are a full service construction company capable of handling complex structural work safely and legally.

We expertly manage:

  • Wall Removals: Installing steel beams to support upper floors when opening up rooms.
  • Chimney Breast Removal: Safely removing unused chimney stacks to reclaim valuable floor space.
  • Window and Door Openings: Creating new openings or enlarging existing ones to flood your interiors with natural light.

What Our Clients Have to Say


 

We were really pleased from start to finish with all services provided by Deben Construction. A professional finish from a hardworking and courteous workforce that delivered our build above our expectations. Would recommend.

I have used Deben Construction for projects at both home and my business location. Their standard of work is impeccable and they offer a very friendly, efficient & reliable service. I highly recommend them.

Jon Phillips, JD Lifting Ltd

Deben Construction have recently built an extension and refurbished 2 bathrooms for us. We are extremely pleased with their work and would not hesitate to recommend them.

John & Shirley Phillips

Ufford Park is a 25yr old 97 bedroom hotel with a 5 year refurbishment plan and so over the last 12 months have used Deben Construction to install bathrooms, repair heating systems, fix leaks and decorate – on jobs too large for our own maintenance team. We would strongly recommend their workmanship and professionalism.

Tarnia Robertson, MD, Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa

Deben Construction recently completed work on projects in Colchester, Garboldisham and Clacton. Excellent service and professional finish.
