Listed Buildings
Having completed numerous barn conversions including over 9 Grade II listed buildings and renovated a Grade I listed wall we are experts in the conversion and renovation of old buildings. Old buildings have many intricacies with their structures and from experience we are able to deal with these issues effectively.

Building regulations & conservation officers
We are knowledgeable in dealing with the team from the local council and though many people see them as a hindrance we have found that developing a long term working relationship with them based on honesty, openness and communication has meant that they have agreed to additional openings, changes and even suggested where garages could be added. Our experience tells us that these people generally want the houses to be lived in and make good homes for people.

Remote locations
Many of the properties we have constructed are in remote locations and as such are not connected to mains gas or mains drainage, we have installed LPG gas tanks in locations and Klargestor waste treatment plants in these locations, our development at Woodside Farm in Wettenhall, Cheshire was located close to a site of special scientific interest so the environment agency required us to install a tertiary treatment plant in addition to the Klargestor.

Mechanical ventilation & Heat pumps
These innovations will very soon become standard equipment in houses, modern houses with their absence of cold drafts mean that removing moisture created in day to day living from house is very important to maintain a healthy environment. The current cost of LPG mean that heat pumps are ideal for buildings not on the national gas network and works very well with under floor heating.

We are experieced at taking part completed properties from receivers, completing them and successfully selling them on, making changes where necessary to provide a end product for which can be successfully marketed.

Community relations

The very ethos of the company is that we build nice homes for nice people by nice people. We deal openly and honestly with people. We will treat our employee’s reasonably and pay them a fair days pay for a fair days work.

We give away a proportion of our pre tax profits away to Bridges Hull which is a small charity working in Hull partly set up by one of our directors back in 2007.

In May 2011 Swallow Hill Homes purchased the Pennine Rambler public house which is used by Bridges Hull and other community based organisations. This was then sold at cost to Bodmin Road Church who have extended its use and carried on with its transformation into a community hub.
