With over 40 years of experience, the company prides itself on its ethos: "Do it once. " This commitment ensures high standards of workmanship for both domestic and commercial clients, regardless of project size.
They have undertaken significant heritage projects, including work for English Heritage and Bicester Heritage at the former RAF base at Caversfield. This involved carefully unearthing wartime air raid shelters and strengthening the historic control tower by reinforcing concrete ring beams and adding an asphalt roof, all while maintaining the original appearance of the structure. Chesters & Sons also specialize in driveways and patios, ensuring a firm base with MOT grade aggregate and quality surfacing materials like block paving, resin, or tarmac.
Their fencing services cover domestic, commercial, and agricultural needs, including bespoke wooden buildings such as garden sheds and pole barns. They also provide groundworks and drainage services, including footings, concrete bases, drainage solutions, and septic tank installations.
