Testimonials
“Houchell Ltd undertook a complex and extensive renovation of The Old Warehouse which lies within a Conservation Area on a narrow, single lane in the heart of Woodbridge with very difficult access. The team were prompt, friendly and showed considerable care and attention throughout: their versatility and skill were always evident. The property is used as a holiday let and we receive fantastic feedback from our guests regarding the renovation and design (by David Houchell Ltd). We have an ongoing relationship with Houchell in terms of maintenance and repairs. We are delighted with the results – thank you.”
“We bought a derelict, Grade II Listed house in Woodbridge four years ago, and luckily had Houchells on hand to deal with all the issues. In fact, the house was falling down and had to be rebuilt entirely. We are very happy with our home. ”
“Thank you for all the work you have done...it looks fab and I’m very excited to be moving in!”
our values
We are committed to providing the best value service for every project we are involved in regardless of scale and budget.
The firm prides itself in its relationships with its staff as well as to the clients it serves, and continually strives to maintain a positive working culture in everything we do.
We recognise the difference between working on a building site and working in someone’s home, and encourages attitudes in all staff which reflect this.
