About Us

Our family run business was established more than thirty years ago by Andrew Simpson. Over the years he built up an enviable reputation locally and in 2006 was a Regional Winner of the Federation of Master Builders’ Builder of the Year Awards. Mark studied Construction Management at Leeds University and graduated in 2009 with First Class Honours. Although he consequently received offers of employment from a variety of major construction companies nationwide, he made the decision to join Andrew so that, together, they could take Simpson Construction to the next level.

With a large and impressive portfolio of completed projects and many satisfied customers, we find the majority of our work comes through recommendation and word of mouth – which to us is the greatest compliment.

We have a reputation locally for taking on complex, challenging projects that many builders would not have the knowledge or experience to attempt. Our refurbishments include barn conversions, and we are always sympathetic to the existing structure and aesthetics of these old buildings, expertly blending any additional building or repairs to the original stone work so that you can barely identify new from existing.

We also carry out a variety of building extensions and conversions – this type of work requires specialist knowledge and expertise, in addition to tight budget and scheduling control.

Working closely with architects and designers, we manage entire projects from beginning to completion – sourcing materials, managing sub-contractors and overseeing scheduling and progress to ensure that the project is as straight-forward and hassle free as possible for our client.

Because health and safety on site is paramount, Mark is qualified to carry out all necessary checks and risk assessments, keeping abreast of new industry regulations and legislation at all times.

We maintain an excellent relationship with SLDC Building Control Office and planning departments which gives our clients’ piece of mind that all works will be carried out to the required standard in order to achieve compliance with Building Regulations.

We are proud members of the Federation of Master Builders. Their code of Practice sets out the standard practices expected of the best builders in the industry and we always work to meet, if not exceed them.
Being Sovereign Chemical approved contractors enables us to carry out damp proofing, tanking and timber treatment work with insurance backed guarantees, therefore giving added peace of mind to the client.
