Brought up in Coniston and based in Loughrigg, near Ambleside in South Lakeland, Stephen Grindrod began his career as an apprentice in 1984 and has been established as a high-quality builder since 1988. In that time, he has gained an enviable reputation as an artisan, creatively blending time honoured traditional and cutting-edge contemporary using materials sourced from the Lakes and surrounding areas.
Stephen's team is made up of his Brother Mike (a skilled builder and stone Mason) and Joe (trained with Stephen since being his apprentice) and a trusted group of time-tested architects and local craftsmen to bring about the best possible results. His select list of subcontractors includes joiners, blacksmiths, stonemasons and stained glass artists, all of whom contribute to creating a unique project.

We were careful to keep the extension to this Windermere home looking like the existing building by incorporating archways into the design which features throughout the original building.Local blacksmith, Tony Saunders produced the ironwork for the gate and railings.

Many of our renovations to older buildings require traditional building and walling techniques. We use the original stones wherever possible to ensure the building retains its original look and blends with the surrounding environment. The renovation of this old farm outbuilding at Woodland blends well into the surrounding countryside by using the original, and local stones.
