A Freehold showcase. This business is fictional. The bar along the bottom tracks this site’s features as you scroll; each is something you can ask for on your own build. Every build is bespoke: this shows the range, not a template.

More about what we do, and the one thing we don’t.

Who sends us work

Most of our jobs come from other trades. A builder, a plumber, a joiner and a farmer, in their own words.

  • Hawarden Homesbuilders Hawarden

    They turn up when they said and the CoC’s in my inbox before I’ve left site.

  • Greta Valley Plumbingplumbers Greta Valley

    We share jobs both ways. Never had to go back over their work.

If it’s sparking, smoking or you’ve lost power, ring, don’t email.

Every photograph of a finished job on this site is a generated placeholder, marked as one on the image, standing where a real firm’s own photos would go. The wider pictures of the district are generated too, and each one says so in its own caption; none of them is a photo of a job. The phone number and email are masked. The place names are real; the firm, the two electricians and the four trades who vouch for them are not.
