Services
Extensions
We specialise in single and double-storey extensions, creating functional spaces tailored to client needs. Our process ensures structural integrity, aesthetic cohesion, and minimal disruption. Clients benefit from enhanced property value and bespoke design solutions.
Conversions
Our conversions repurpose underutilised areas like lofts and garages into valuable living or commercial spaces. We focus on practical layouts, energy efficiency, and compliance with building regulations. This service maximises existing property potential without expansion.
Roofing
We provide durable roofing solutions using materials like tiles, GRP fibreglass, and EPDM rubber. Our team ensures watertight installations and repairs for both residential and commercial properties. Clients receive long-lasting protection against weather elements.
Renovations
From minor updates to full-scale renovations, we revitalise spaces while maintaining structural quality. Our approach balances modernisation with preservation of original features. Clients enjoy refreshed environments that meet contemporary standards.
Timber Framing
We craft custom timber frames for extensions, conservatories, and traditional buildings. Precision joinery and sustainably sourced materials ensure strength and longevity. This service offers timeless aesthetic appeal with robust construction.

Report
As a single female I have met and paid a fair few cowboy builders and was very sceptical of finding another builder however I was pleasantly surprised after being given Trevor Wards number. I was after someone to lay a patio in my back garden, Trevor was very polite, started early and worked a full day and most importantly his workmanship was top quality. I have already asked him to quote for another job for me. I would recommend Trevor to friends and family

Report
We used Garden City Carpentry and Builds for a wrap around extension and we would thoroughly recommend them to friends and family. They only take on one big job at a time and are fully dedicated to your build. They are on site for a full day and Tony was always available to answer questions. They are very trust worthy and when we hit problems at the beginning of our build they helped us work through it rather than just walking off site or charging us through the nose. Apart from some small additional cost due to the delay they came in bang on their original estimation they gave us so no surprises
