BUILDING & RENOVATIONS

Fine Quality Builders in West Yorkshire

At Little England, we are fine quality builders proudly serving West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas, delivering exceptional results that exceed expectations. As accredited members of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), our work carries a mark of distinction, guaranteeing that every project is completed to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Our clients turn to us when they want to create their dream home, whether it’s expanding their space with dormer windows, loft or cellar conversions, or reimagining their current layout with open-plan living by removing walls. We also specialise in larger-scale projects, including home extensions, full-house renovations, or starting fresh with new builds.

We begin with a personal consultation to understand your needs, ideas, and vision for the project. Throughout the planning phase, we ensure you’re as involved as you want to be, offering our expertise and professional insight on what will work best for your home. For added peace of mind, we collaborate with trusted local architects, structural engineers, and suppliers, ensuring a smooth, stress-free process. Our expert team—consisting of designers, planners, and skilled tradespeople—works alongside you, with a dedicated project manager overseeing the entire renovation.

Above all, we promise your project will be completed to the highest quality, on time and within budget. The satisfaction of our clients and their decision to return to us for future projects speaks to our commitment to making your vision a reality.

Stephen Petrie of Little England was named regional Heavenly Builder of the Year at the FMB Yorkshire & Trent Master Builder Awards 2017. Whilst working on a new build project for his clients, Stephen went truly above and beyond to give the best service. The client mentioned that they could be indecisive, but Stephen built up trust and their confidence to make sure they got the project they wanted. In addition, he built and fitted a brand new kitchen for the client's 40th birthday, despite it not being part of the contract, and drove 90 minutes to the quarry to hand-pick every piece of stone for the property as he only wanted the highest quality for his clients. This exceptional level of service made him a more than worthy winner.

We’ve used Stephen and the Little England team for a number of large and smaller projects in our home. We appreciate their eye for detail and considered point of view on design features. We took confidence from the quality of builds they’ve completed in our area and the level of satisfaction when we speak to others. We highly recommend the team!

We used Stephen and his team on recommendation from a family friend who’s an interior designer and weren’t disappointed. Our renovation spanned pretty much the entire house and involved taking down a structural wall to make the living space bigger, removing several chimneys, and remodelling the back of the house to make the most of the garden. Outside of a brilliant finish to the work and a renovation we’re delighted with, benefits of working with Little England included; transparent budgeting process; central project manager ensuring the job was always staffed and momentum maintained; brilliant tradesmen and friendly team, and a project delivered on schedule. This last point was essential as we were expecting our second child and needed to move back into the house on a deadline. Couldn’t recommend Little England highly enough.

We had tiny kitchen and Little England proved to be the right choice for opening up and achieving quality, style, workmanship and for helping us to achieve the design and requirements we needed. We spend most of our time now in our kitchen with friends and family and it’s transformed our lives.

When looking of a builder to carry ouy a kitchen extension project we selected Little England. The project was carried out in a professional manner, coming within timescale and budget. The whole team involved in our project were excellent in their work and customer service and clearly enjoy the company they work for which is great to see.

We had a fantastic experience with Little England. We had a total refurbishment of our home and it exceeded all our expectations. There is real quality and attention to detail in everything they do and we had no real issues at all over the six months that the job took . We found the crews that turned up to tackle the various stages of the job from foundations to the woodworking all very good at what they do and respectful and calm in their approach. We must give special mention to Stephen who supervised the whole project and has a gift for problem solving and a very calm no drama way of going about every aspect of the work . We appreciated the near total absence of drama resulting in a no stress approach to such a big project in our lives . They are an ethical hard working talented company. We couldn’t be happier.

Building & Extensions

We are highly experienced in building, extending and refurbishing both modern and period home so whether you’re planning to restore the past or build for the future, we’re here to help. If you’re considering creating a one-of-a-kind home from the ground up then we will work with you every step of the way to bring your ideas to life. It doesn’t have to be daunting, our team expertly navigates complex building regulations and unforeseen challenges so you don’t have to worry. If you’re looking to stay where you are and make the home you love more functional then increasing its footprint with an extension is a practical way to help ensure it will continue to meet your needs. What’s more, extensions can add value to your property, if you decide to sell in the future. It’s never too early to get in touch to discuss your potential building project with us.

Loft, Garage & Cellar Conversions

There are plenty of ways to add more space to your home without the need for planning permission, new foundations and extensive building work.  Building upwards is an option, from dormer and mansard to L-shaped and hip-to-gable conversions.  A firm favourite with our clients is the dormer, a great way to bring extra headroom, floor space and daylight into a loft space. In contrast, extending down into a cellar space sometimes gets overlooked because clients are put off repurposing cold, damp and dark recesses.  Unlike a loft conversion which is often used to create additional bedrooms, a cellar is located nearer to the main living areas so makes a great social space.   Or how about utilising garage space which is typically used for storing items other than vehicles these days.  Knowing how to add space is key to ensuring you can continue to enjoy living in the place you love and not have to contemplate moving. We’re here to help you make an informed decision whether a conversion works for your lifestyle.

Flooring, Tiles & Paving

The flooring and wall tiling you choose are just as crucial to the final look and feel of your project as any other design element. At Little England, we have three certified Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) installers. LVT offers superior durability, is waterproof, and provides a wide range of realistic wood or stone designs, making it an upgrade from traditional laminates. Our experienced tilers, with nearly 40 years of combined expertise in both interior and exterior tile and paving installations, ensure that whatever your selection, we have the skills to bring your vision to life.
