We're Pollendine Ltd, local, family-run builders in Cambridge, now in our third generation, evolved from Pollendine Builders to the business we are today, and we still treat every home like it's our own.
We specialise in all aspects of building, with extensive experience on period homes and listed buildings, from extensions and loft conversions to home renovations, period home renovations and general home maintenance and repairs.
Whatever you need, we turn up, we listen, and we get it right.
As reliable builders in Cambridge, you'll deal with the same friendly faces from the first chat to the last coat of paint — not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Dreaming of more space? Our bespoke extensions and loft conversions are designed and built around you, working closely with the relevant authorities, architects and engineering specialists, from the first dig to the final coat of paint.
From decorating a bedroom, new bathrooms and kitchens, to full house renovations, structural alterations and period property refurbishments — inside your house or outside in your garden. We will bring it to life whilst respecting the home you already love.
The little things matter too — it's where trusted builders make the biggest difference. Our general home maintenance covers the small jobs and ongoing care that keep your home running smoothly and looking its best.
Every project starts with someone's home and a cup of tea round the kitchen table. Here's a taste of what we've brought to life recently.
We extended this existing property to give the family the extra space and room they needed. New brickwork was matched carefully to the original, with a glazed corner bringing in plenty of natural light, finished off with a smart new patio outside.
This listed building renovation needed sympathetic, careful work. We repaired and replaced sections of structural timber frame, wattle & daub, preserving its character whilst working to listed building and conservation standards.
Out with the old, in with the new — a full bathroom renovation with a strip-out, fresh tiling and cosy underfloor heating.
All of your garden needs — we've handmade oak pergolas, luxury decking with lighting, and even built Victorian-style greenhouses, plus full garden redesigns.
We pop by throughout the year to keep an eye on guttering, paintwork and the little jobs, so nothing turns into a big one.
A growing family needed an extra bedroom. We turned an unused loft space into a large open plan bedroom with en-suite. Plenty of natural light was brought in with Velux windows.
We'll visit, discuss your plans with you and properly listen to what you're after — no quote written from a phone call alone.
You'll get a straightforward, detailed itemised quote within days, so you know exactly what you're paying for before anything starts.
A start date you can depend on, a timescale you can rely on, and a finish you can count on, so you're never left wondering what's happening.
We walk through it together with you before calling it done, ensuring that your expectations have been met. Every home is treated with the care it deserves and finished as if it was our own.
Tell us what you're thinking, and one of our Cambridge builders will pop round for a chat and a free quote — no pressure, just a proper conversation.
