Great builders. So many people have complimented us on the transformation Peter Ferns made to our home from a small tired brick property into a stunning house.

Peter Ferns was recommended to us by a neighbour who had watched the stone barn conversation thry did next to them commenting on the quality of work, tidy site and pleasant, professiononal owner and workmen. All our work ran absolutely to schedule and within a few months the property was a third larger, with a great driveway and parking area added, massive garden room plus two patios (Peter Ferns lovely and functional designs) and the heavy garden ground work undertaken for us - laurel and other shrubs, pond excavation etc. Delighted us and The Peak Park Planning authority happy too!

The property a joy to live in after and with verified fantastic increase in value.

Peter was so helpful, communicative and easy to deal with and he and his team a delight to have on site. Highly recommend Peter Fern with enormous thanks too.
