Pickford Builders Ltd

Founded in 1909 by Fred Pickford, Pickford Builders has a rich history spanning generations in the Essex building industry. Initially established while working on the rebuild of Wolsey's Farm, the company quickly built a solid reputation through early projects with local families. The business has evolved from its first workshop at the Old Forge in Duton Hill to subsequent relocations, expanding its operations and employing local tradesmen.

Specialising in insurance repairs, Pickford Builders works on behalf of loss adjusters to handle claims for damage caused by fire, escape of water, flood, subsidence, and impact. They are committed to completing repairs with minimal disruption for domestic, commercial, and industrial premises. Their expertise also extends to the repair, restoration, conservation, and alteration of historic buildings, including Grade I and Grade II listed properties, using appropriate heritage materials and sympathetic approaches.

Pickford Builders manages all aspects of building projects, employing experienced project managers and directly employed tradesmen such as bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, and plumbers. For specialised tasks, they collaborate with trusted sub-contractors. They also offer bespoke joinery and carpentry services through their sister company, Bakers Joinery.

The company prides itself on delivering high-quality results with excellent workmanship, maintaining open communication with clients throughout the process.
