What people are saying
Richard, his family and extended team did the most spectacular job on the rebuild of my old cottage on The Lizard. The bungalow was completely rebuilt with an extra floor and extensions added. It was all done and completed during the very difficult Covid period, and I couldn’t be happier with the safety precautions taken. The team are honest, hard-working, skilled and reliable. The result was far superior to that which I had imaged when designing. Since then, I have had A&R help me with the refurbishment of a Holiday Let in Porthleven and repairs on another in Perranuthnoe. I have no reservations in highly recommending this wonderful company.

I hired A&R Building Contractors for a renovation project and was very impressed. Our initial talks were productive, with their team offering smart ideas to refine my vision. The site visit was professional, thorough and followed by a clear, detailed quote. I’m a challenging client, frequently changing plans, but A&R adapted effortlessly, keeping the project on track. Their flexibility and skill made the process seamless. Highly recommend!

A&R recently completed a comprehensive renovation to our three-bedroom barn. We wanted to retain as many original features as possible alongside a full re-working and modernisation of the interior. The project was executed with enthusiasm, care, attention to detail and professionalism throughout, and the quality of work has been outstanding. Improvements included new walls with internal damp proofing and guttering system to address water ingress, installation of new floors throughout with underfloor heating, three new bathrooms, a new open plan kitchen/diner, the addition of four new Velux roof windows and new decking are just some of the works undertaken by the team. During the process, A&R suggested the repositioning of the master en-suite and we’re so glad we listened as it suits the bedroom layout much better. Throughout each stage, we were thoroughly consulted and kept informed, so no nasty surprises and at the end of the project the team left the property in perfect condition inside and out. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and appreciate the high standard of workmanship demonstrated by the whole team.

We were thrilled to work with A&R Building. The team were punctual, respectful and incredibly detail oriented. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable builders.

Drawing inspiration from an impressive entrance hall in a holiday property, we aimed to design a spacious bootility room that could accommodate all coats, shoes, and cleaning equipment, while providing a functional area for wet dogs—ensuring the main entrance remained uncluttered. It was essential that the new construction complemented the character of our granite cottage. A&R were recommended to us by the Association of Master Tradesmen. Following initial consultations and due diligence, we were excited to move forward with their services. From the beginning, A&R demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and effective collaboration. Their communication with our architect, utility providers, and Building Control was consistently efficient and the project adhered to the established timeline and budget, with any required variations discussed and agreed upon beforehand. The worksite was maintained in a safe and orderly condition throughout and was returned to us in excellent order upon completion. We are highly satisfied with the final outcome with everyone exhibiting exceptional attention to detail, which is clearly reflected in the quality of the workmanship. The entire team at A&R was a pleasure to work with, and we would not hesitate to engage them for future projects.
Mr O - Coverack
Following a friends recommendation we selected A&R Building for a renovation project and were very pleased we did... We remained in the house for the initial part of the renovation and could see at first hand their work ethic and attention to detail. They arrived early, worked the full day, were very aware of our needs and a pleasure to be around. At a later date, we used A&R again to replace a previously untouched flat roof with a new fibre glass covering. During the storm of 2024 a corner of the roof was damaged, and A&R Building came to our aid at very short notice. Richard & his team are extremely professional and very easy to work with.

We were thrilled to find a local team of highly competent builders. A&R delivered on every promise—timely, respectful, and with an eye for detail that meant no awkward conversations over finishes. The family team were consistently polite and considerate, always protecting delicate surfaces and leaving the site spotless each day. Their honesty and fairness, especially when pricing or navigating technical issues, set them apart. We’re very happy to recommend A&R to anyone looking for trustworthy, skilled builders who take pride in their work.
Mr and Mrs S - Praa Sands
A&R Building built our kitchen/dining room extension, which has transformed our home and become the room in which we spend the most time. We are absolutely delighted with the result and couldn’t be more pleased in choosing them to carry out this project. It can be a worrying process choosing the right builder, when you have very little knowledge of the trade. From the start, we were impressed by their knowledge and how they listened to our ideas, pointing out what was possible and, more importantly, what wouldn’t work. An indication of our satisfaction with their work is the fact that we recommended them to two separate friends, who also engaged them and are equally delighted by their results.
