Nottingham Building Company Limited is a Nottingham-based building contractor led by John Owen — with over 20 years on the tools across building, roofing and landscaping for homes and commercial properties throughout the East Midlands.
Built entirely through word of mouth and customer recommendation, we handle everything from small tricky repairs others won't touch, right through to two-storey extensions and full ground-up rebuilds. Heritage properties, period buildings, awkward fixes — we'll come and have a proper look.
Domestic and commercial work across Nottingham and the East Midlands. From a single repair to a complete rebuild — same standard on every job.
01
Single & double storey extensions — rear, side and lean-to structures, designed and built to your needs.
02
From a few replacement tiles to a full re-roof — our roofers operate safely at height and finish properly.
03
Brickwork, pointing and structural repairs — including tricky matches on older properties where others won't try.
04
Hard and soft landscaping. We'll design your garden from scratch and finish it to the same standard as the house.
05
Full floor rebuilds from joists upwards, plus skirting, doors and internal joinery. Done properly, no shortcuts.
06
Renovations, repairs and the small-but-tricky jobs others turn down. If we can do it well, we'll take it on.
There's a reason every single review names John personally. Here's what you can expect when we work on your property.
You'll be kept informed before the job starts and throughout the build. Decisions are made together.
Quotes itemise materials and labour with realistic completion dates. We aim to surpass expectations.
Heritage buildings, awkward small fixes, period properties — the work bigger firms won't take on.
Sites left clean every day. No mess, no cowboy corners cut, no surprises at the end of the build.
"I would definitely recommend Nottingham Building Company. I needed some repairs to the brickwork of my house. John was highly professional, and completed the work to a fantastic standard. Some of the bricks needed replacing, and he managed to find some that matched almost perfectly, so you can't even see where the repair is."
"Professional, thorough, honest and reliable and their work is carried out to the highest standard. They have recently done a complete rebuild of my lounge floor from the joists up, moved pipework, removed and rebuilt an old fireplace, re-boarded the floor and replaced all skirting boards. Excellent job!"
"From the moment we spoke to John he came across as friendly, professional and reliable. We employed John and his team to build our 1-storey rear extension. Arrived on time, worked hard and kept the areas clean and tidy at all times. To say we are happy with the end result is an understatement."
"Everything you really hope for with a builder — friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, sympathetic, affordable. Initially we had our chimney rebuilt — it's now the best on the street! We then had our roof retiled and gables repointed with some brick replacements. No mess, high quality finish, no cowboy corners cut!"
"John has just finished building a lean-to for us. From start to finish he was friendly, helpful and professional; keeping us updated and letting us know how things were progressing. He really went the extra mile to make sure things were completed to a high standard. Really happy with the end result."
"We are custodians of a 94-year-old building. We had a problem with the original front doorstep. We contacted an architectural builder — they didn't want to know. The largest builders in town — no response. I contacted John Owen: I liked his style. The quote was fair, even though the job was complicated. John and his colleague have done a superb job — you can ask Nottingham Building Company to work for you with complete confidence."
