A whole house in Pencoed

Jessica Davies had us renovate her house here in the village. This is her review on our Google profile, quoted unedited.

“Ashwood Carpentry & Building undertook the renovation of my whole house in Pencoed, including digging new foundations, knocking down all of the exterior walls while supporting the existing roof, building the internal wooden wall structure, fully insulating the walls and floors, all new floor joists and floorboards upstairs and most importantly working closely with the structural engineer and steel fabricator to provide the structural support for the planned exterior doors and windows, including an infinity window for our kitchen.”

Common questions

Are you actually based in Pencoed?

Yes. That is where the workshop is. If you are in the village or the surrounding lanes we are minutes away. That is why small jobs are worth doing here at all.

Will you come out for one small job?

Yes, though a list is better value than a single item because of the visit. If you have five things that need doing, write them down and send them together.

How soon can you come and measure?

Locally it is usually days rather than weeks. Send a photo of the room with your enquiry and we can often tell you the shape of the job before we arrive.

Do you cover Coychurch and Heol-y-Cyw?

Yes, along with Felindre, Hendre and the villages between. Anything in that ring is effectively local.
