About us

Ron and Andrew Ramsell.

We are a father-and-son building team based in Thorpe-le-Soken and Maidstone. We visit the property and prepare the quotation, then stay involved during the work.

Ron is a time-served sheet metal worker and welder with more than 40 years of experience in heavy industry. We are not architects, but we are used to precision work and have produced and worked from our own drawings for many years.

Industrial standards, at home.

Our industrial work is built to tight tolerances and checked at every stage. We bring the same care to your home: careful measuring, work checked as it goes, and a proper inspection with you before we finish.
