Builders in Ellon
you can trust.
We are a family run building firm helping Ellon homeowners with extensions, loft and garage conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and new builds across the Formartine area.
We know Ellon,
and the homes in it.
We are a family run building firm working across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and Ellon is right at the heart of where we build. The town sits on the River Ythan in the Formartine area, roughly sixteen miles north of Aberdeen, and it has grown a great deal over the years. From the older granite properties near the square to the newer estates around Balmacassie and Cromleybank, we understand the local housing stock and how families here want to use the space they have.
Our team handles home extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, fitted kitchens and bathrooms, along with garden rooms, new builds and general building work. We are members of the Federation of Master Builders and we are TrustMark registered, with over twenty years behind us. Whether you are adding a bedroom for a growing family or opening up the back of the house, we treat every Ellon home as if it were our own.
Most extensions, conversions and structural changes in Ellon need a building warrant, which is handled by Aberdeenshire Council and sits separately from planning permission. We manage that whole process for you, from drawings and submission through to the final completion certificate. If you would like to understand how it works before you start, our plain English guide to building warrants in Scotland walks through every step.
See the standard,
then picture your own.
We could simply tell you we do careful work for Ellon homeowners. We would rather show you. Across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire we have completed kitchens, bathrooms, loft conversions, extensions and full house renovations, all finished to the same standard.
Every project runs the same way, one accountable team from the first survey to the final handover. Browse a selection on our work page, then imagine the same care brought to your Ellon home.

Local & Family Run
A genuine family business that knows the North East. When you call, you speak to the people doing the work, and we put our name to every job.
Accredited, Not Just Insured
FMB membership and TrustMark registration mean we have been independently vetted against a Government-endorsed standard. These are not labels we gave ourselves.
One Point of Contact
From your first survey to the final snag, one project manager looks after everything and keeps you informed. No chasing, no being passed around.
No Unwelcome Surprises
We quote in writing, in detail, and we do not start work we have not priced. If something unexpected appears, you hear it before we act.

"They helped us renovate an en suite bathroom, including relocating sanitaryware, tiling floors and walls and installing electric underfloor heating. A great service, on time and to the agreed cost. I would highly recommend Shem and his team."
"From our initial meeting to completion, they were very professional, taking time to understand what we wanted and advising on how to achieve the finish we wanted."
"They done an alteration by making a new wall opening and putting in a steel beam, then refurbished the whole house including our kitchen and bathroom. Well recommended."
