One trusted team for the whole job — from the first plans right through to completion. Here's what Coates Construction takes on across Catterick, Richmond and North Yorkshire.
Because Neil's a general builder, one team can take your project the whole way through — planning and groundworks, building and extensions, right down to the final finish. No juggling half a dozen trades, and no gaps between them.
A well-built extension is often the most sensible way to get the space you need — an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen, a proper family room — without the upheaval and cost of moving.
Neil handles the build from the footings up: groundwork, brickwork, roof, and a finish that ties into the rest of your home so it never looks bolted on. We'll work with your plans and building control, or point you to the right people if you're starting from scratch.
A garage you only keep boxes in, a loft gathering dust, an outbuilding going to waste — a conversion turns space you already own into a proper, warm, finished room for a fraction of the cost of building new.
We did exactly this kind of job turning a garage into a bedroom, and it's some of the work we're proudest of: insulated properly, rewired, plastered and finished so you'd never know it was anything else.
Whether it's a single room that needs sorting or a whole property in need of work, Neil takes on renovations and refurbishments of all sizes — repairs, alterations, and full top-to-bottom overhauls.
It's the kind of work where experience really shows: knowing what's worth keeping, what needs replacing, and how to get a proper finish on an old building. You'll get an honest view of what the property actually needs, not a list of extras.
Most of the best building work is the part you never see. Foundations, footings, drainage and hard landscaping have to be right first time — get them wrong and everything above pays for it later.
With decades on the tools, Neil knows the groundwork is where a job is really made or lost, and treats it that way. Whether it's the base for an extension or a standalone groundworks job, it gets done properly.
Not every job fits a neat heading. Brickwork, structural alterations, knocking through, repairs, patios and paths, and the odd jobs that need someone who knows what they're doing — Neil's a general builder, so it's all fair game.
