Aylsham is a handsome market town in north Norfolk, just 12 miles south-east of our Holt base - around 20 minutes by road. We serve homeowners across the NR11 postcode area including Aylsham itself, Cawston, Reepham, Buxton, Marsham, and the surrounding north Norfolk villages.
Aylsham sits in the Bure Valley and is well known as the gateway to Blickling Estate, the magnificent Jacobean house and gardens managed by the National Trust just a mile or so to the north. The town itself has a fine market place, the Church of St Michael, and a good range of period housing that reflects its prosperity as a Norfolk market town through the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Bure Valley Railway runs narrow-gauge steam trains through the town - a popular attraction that gives Aylsham real character beyond its status as a market town. The NR11 postcode area also includes many substantial rural properties - period farmhouses, converted agricultural buildings, and country houses - where high-quality construction work is expected and valued.
We work throughout north Norfolk on the full range of construction projects. Extensions to period properties - handled sympathetically and in accordance with local planning policy - are a particular strength of ours. Loft conversions, full home renovations, bathroom refits, and bespoke carpentry are all regular projects in this area. We also carry out a significant amount of roofing work on older properties, where traditional Norfolk clay pantiles or slate may need specialist attention.
