Trusted Building Contractors in Ashford

Looking for reliable building contractors in Ashford? Ashford has experienced significant growth as one of the government's designated growth areas, with major new developments alongside its established town centre. The international rail link to St Pancras has driven demand for high-quality housing, whilst the surrounding countryside retains traditional Kentish character with scattered farmsteads and hamlets.With over 20 years of experience, Carey Brothers & Sons Building Contractors Ltd delivers high-quality construction services for both residential and commercial clients throughout Ashford and the surrounding Kent area.

25 miles from our Tonbridge office, we have in-depth knowledge of Ashford. The properties we commonly work on here include new-build estates in the expanding finberry and chilmington green developments, victorian and edwardian homes in the town centre, and converted farmhouses and oast houses in the surrounding countryside. Our team understands the specific character of the area and delivers results that respect and enhance it.

Ashford Borough Council has an ambitious local plan supporting growth. Whilst new developments have more streamlined planning, the town centre conservation area and surrounding villages like Wye and Biddenden maintain strict heritage policies. The varied geology across the borough, from Weald Clay to Greensand, requires site-specific groundwork solutions. Our familiarity with local planning requirements, combined with our commitment to quality craftsmanship, makes us the ideal choice for your building project in Ashford.
