Here are some examples of the work that we do. To help illustrate the range of projects we are able to undertake we have included work from each of the sectors that we serve.

Design and Build Conversion
We recently completed the conversion of an existing bull pen into a studio flat. This was designed as accommodation for the owners father to use when visiting Cambridgeshire and incorporated a mezzanine floor, small kitchen and wet room.

Listed and Historic Buildings
We have worked on various conservation projects with William Miller Architects of Cottenham. One project in Over involved a 17th Century Queen Anne brick house. The owners of this listed building wanted to convert former craft workshops into high tech offices.

The buildings which were to be converted were once part of the yard to the house and therefore were regarded as listed buildings. A sympathetic and modern construction enabled the creation of 3 cellular offices with meeting rooms and kitchen facilities.



Commercial Maintenance Contracts

Over the past 18 months we have worked with D S Smith Packaging to provide planned and reactive maintenance work.

Insurance
In addition to undertaking regular volume contracts for leading insurance repair networks, we have also carried out a number of tendered contracts of varying sizes.

Two examples are:

  • Major re building following a devastating fire
  • Superstructure repairs following a serious impact incident



Testimonials

Fire claim
“We wish to commend Thackrays and its employees for the manner in which these renovations were carried out. Your cheery and very professional attitude more than helped to minimise the discomfort of the work, making us feel at all times that we were in caring and capable hands”.
Clive and Sandy Jones

Impact Damage
“Following the completion of superstructure repairs, our client was very pleased with the outcome and how closely the brickwork matched the existing. The contract has been finished quickly and efficiently, enabling an early return of the owners to the property”.

Bill Miller - Architect
"We have worked with Edward Thackray Building on conservation projects. Their work is excellent due to the experience of their workforce, their attention to detail and quality of finish. We have also found them fair when it comes to negotiations over extra works and variations. In summary - a great organization to work with".
