Trusted Local Trades & Expertise

One of the biggest challenges for second-home owners or those new to the area is finding reliable tradespeople. Ed and Grace live locally and have developed strong relationships with a trusted network of professionals over many years.

​

Our ‘black book’ includes dependable builders, electricians, plasterers, decorators, plumbers, gardeners, and groundworkers—most of whom we’ve used personally or worked with on client projects.

​

We aim to match each client with professionals who live close to their property, ensuring faster response times and a genuinely local feel.

Having restored a listed farmhouse themselves, Ed and Grace also have specialist insight into traditional Devon buildings and the correct methods for their maintenance. This is especially vital when working with older materials such as cob, stone, and lime mortar, or addressing issues like damp in the right way.
