Steve Busby, Managing Director of Busby's Builders writes: I began my working life in Alresford with F C Fairhead as a contracts estimator/surveyor, initially in small works and then on main contracts including SCOLA schools contracts throughout Hampshire. After a short time with Numbers I joined C & F Freeman (Cheriton) in 1976 as estimator and later became Managing Director of the building department.
During my 18 years there I worked locally on many different projects spending much of my time on older properties. Following Freeman's untimely closure, I was persuaded to start on my own by an eminent client. Busby's Builders was formed twelve years ago and has progressed to this day as a small family-run firm.

The existing field ground level was then reduced to make way for a new two-storey cottage to link in with the existing buildings. This included the removal of some 500m3 of earth in order to lower the ground level for the cottage.
With the water table being so close to the foundation depth a reinforced raft foundation was used for the new cottage and front garages, whereas the side garages had traditional strip foundations albeit much deeper than expected.The style of the new buildings had to be kept in accordance with the requirements of the councils Listed Buildings department.

Busbys purchased the Cast Iron Air Brick Company, cast iron air bricks from us last year. They have previously bought our products for use on restoration work. We are very grateful for the custom and wish you all well on any future projects. If you have any other internal vent requirements we would love to help out.
