A BUILDING COMPANY YOU CAN RELY ON

Building projects can quickly become stressful when communication is poor or work is not properly organised. Our approach is simple — keep projects running smoothly, maintain clear communication throughout, and complete work to a high standard that lasts.

From the early planning stages through to completion, we focus on practical construction methods, reliable timelines and quality workmanship. We understand the importance of getting the details right, especially when working on structural alterations, older properties or larger renovation projects.

Many of our clients come to us through recommendations and repeat work, something we take great pride in.

We are very happy to recommend Steve and his team at Rawlins Renovations.

We were first recommended to Rawlins Renovations in 2019 to undertake a complex restoration project at our Georgian townhouse in Lyme Regis.

Steve and his team have always been very professional and easy to deal with. Communication has been excellent throughout, with clear advice on what does and doesn't need doing. We have never had any cause for concern over the quality of the workmanship, costs or overall service.

Since then, Rawlins Renovations have completed numerous projects, both large and small, at our property in Lyme Regis and at other properties we own.

As I said, we are very happy to recommend Steve and the team at Rawlins Renovations.

Axmouth Parish Council would like to formally commend Rawlins Renovations for the excellent work carried out on the refurbishment of the Axmouth bus stop in Stepps Lane.

Throughout the project, Rawlins Renovations demonstrated a high level of professionalism, skill and care. The team successfully repaired and strengthened the existing infrastructure, ensuring that the original structure was preserved wherever possible.

The materials chosen, along with the quality of workmanship, were entirely sympathetic to the historic character of the bus stop and aligned closely with its original appearance. This attention to detail has ensured that the refurbished shelter sits naturally within the village setting.

The Council is also pleased to note that the work was completed on time and within the agreed budget, with clear communication maintained throughout. The standard of finish achieved is exceptionally high, and the improvements have been well received by residents and visitors alike.

Rawlins Renovations have delivered a project that reflects both craftsmanship and respect for Axmouth’s heritage. The Parish Council would not hesitate to recommend them for future works within the village.
