Quality Home Renovations, Extensions, and Conversions in Devon

At Ashmore Building, we work with homeowners in Mid Devon to deliver carefully considered and beautifully finished renovations, extensions and conversions.

Most of our clients come to us because they need more living space, a better layout and more style in their home, or a home that better reflects where they are in life now.

That’s where we come in.

Trusted builders in Devon

There’s no shortage of stories about poor building experiences. Things like missed details, rising costs, and jobs that never feel finished are common issues, and put many homeowners off having work done at all.

Before starting Ashmore, we worked in large construction environments and were frustrated to see that this kind of thing was normal. Corners were cut, quality slipped, and no one seemed accountable for the end result. We knew there was a better way to do it, by keeping standards and quality high, which is how Ashmore Building was born.

Today, our focus is simple; communicate clearly and deliver work we’re really proud to put our name to. That means being upfront about costs, realistic about timelines, and consistent in the standard of our work.

Working with architects and trusted trades across Devon

As experienced builders in Mid Devon and Exeter, we regularly work alongside high-quality architects, structural engineers, and specialist trades to deliver well-planned and executed renovation and extension projects.

We don’t just bring anyone in; we work with a trusted network of professionals we know can deliver to the high standards we hold ourselves to. For more specialist projects, including heritage work, we can also connect you with skilled craftspeople such as green oak framers and other experienced trades.

Talk to us about your home renovation project

If you’re considering a renovation, extension, or conversion, we’re happy to have an initial conversation and give you a clear sense of what’s possible, what it might cost, and whether we’re the right fit.

Please note that we specialise in larger-scale projects, so we don’t take on smaller repairs or maintenance jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Costs vary depending on the size of the project, the level of structural work, and the finish you’re aiming for. We’re happy to give a ballpark figure early on, and if things move forward, we build a detailed estimate, so you know exactly where you stand.
For larger extensions and structural changes, an architect or designer is typically needed. For simpler projects, it’s not always necessary. We’ll advise you based on what you’re planning and point you in the right direction if needed.
Every project is different, but once we understand the scope, we’ll give you a clear and realistic timeframe. We keep you updated throughout so you always know how things are progressing.
Where the scope is clearly defined, we aim to provide a fixed cost. If there are variables, we explain them upfront so you understand exactly what may affect the final figure. If you choose to make additions as the project progresses, we can discuss that to ensure we stay within your revised budget.
We work across Mid Devon and Exeter, focusing on residential renovation, extension, and conversion projects.
Absolutely. We can share recent projects, client feedback, and we’re also planning opportunities for prospective clients to view completed work in person.
We focus on larger renovation, extension, and conversion projects. This allows us to give each project the time and attention it deserves. We’re typically not the right fit for smaller repair and maintenance jobs.
Yes. You’ll have a clear point of contact throughout the project, with consistent communication from start to finish.
In some cases, it might be possible. However, we generally prefer to work with trades we’ve vetted and can therefore trust. This allows us to maintain a consistent standard across the project and ensures everyone is working in a way that aligns with how we manage jobs. Where we do bring in external trades, we’ll always need to be confident in their approach and quality of work.
