Create | Conserve | Restore

Lewis Downton Building Company has been operating in the local construction industry for 15 years. It offers clients a craft-oriented team of tradesmen, committed to respecting the fabric and heritage of local buildings, and whilst still honouring the past, creating new structures built to harmonise and thrive in their new environment.

We have a wide range of skills and expertise within the company, and are proficient in both traditional and contemporary techniques, integrating old and new in seamless fashion. Our core team is supplemented with a host of time-served local tradesmen. There’s little we can’t make happen.

We listen carefully to what it is our clients want and, if they’re unsure, we hold the depth, knowledge and experience to advise them to the optimal outcome.

We’re creative and innovative thinkers too, we can adapt and adjust to the many nuances inherent in all construction projects. Delivering a bespoke service and finish.

Our attention to detail lies not just in the finished article, but how we think and manage each individual project. It’s a complete service.

Building projects can often seem daunting, complicated and demanding, but we try to dispel any myths by breaking down and explaining the process, starting at the very inception of an idea all the way to completion, making it as smooth as is possible. It’s just as much about the overall journey through the management of a project, as it is about the finished build.

We don’t take on projects unless we feel they’re right for our clients, that they fulfil or exceed their brief and that they respect and enhance their surroundings. We want to create buildings that still look fitting in years to come. It’s the very least our clients should expect from us and central to the three word philosophy which underpins everything we do:

What our
clients say:

We have always trusted Lewis to carry out excellent, and often imaginative problem solving work on our 17 C cottage. It is a pleasure to have Lewis in the house!

Michael & Heather Martin
Castle Cary

Lewis has completed a couple of large jobs for us the last being a back to the bricks complete renovation of an old farmhouse. His knowledge and skill sets are exemplary. No request is too much and every problem overcome. The finish is always first class. Would I recommend him? In a heartbeat.

Jonathan James
Galhampton

Having a large listed Georgian house is both a joy and a worry. However, works carried out by Lewis are always of high quality and respectful of both the building and our wallet.

Lewis is an intelligent hardworking builder who understands period buildings. He is able to be creative in his problem solving and in my experience of renovation projects, has a knowledge of construction processes usually associated with architects and building Surveyors. He also operates in a tidy and organised site environment. After several projects, he and his team have not disappointed.

D. Henderson
Castle Cary

Lewis Downton is the thinking man’s builder.

Lewis is an asset on any job/site. He considers all the information he is given and can often add value by suggesting changes and he is able to challenge the professional team where necessary.

The quality of Lewis’ work is excellent, and he charges a fair price for his work. He undertakes a single project at any one time and so attends when he has committed to. Lewis is a good communicator and he has a broad network of supporting trades that he can recommend, should you need them. I would highly recommend Lewis.

Lewis and his team created an extension to our bungalow, and new patios and driveways. I would thoroughly recommend his excellent workmanship, and he keeps you involved in what is going on from the drawing board to completion.
