Finding a reliable builder can be one of the most stressful parts of any property project. You need a team that is skilled, trustworthy, and communicative. Ridge Group Contracting has built a reputation in Brighton, Hove, and East Sussex as the go-to construction company for clients who demand quality and professionalism. We are not just “builders”; we are construction partners who guide you through the process, from the initial quote to the final handover. Whether you need a structural knock-through, a garden studio, or general remedial works, we bring the same level of care to every job.
The construction industry is unfortunately known for poor communication and hidden costs. We are different.
Transparent Pricing: We provide detailed, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras; any changes to the scope are agreed upon in writing before work proceeds.
Project Management: Every site has a foreman responsible for daily operations. You will have regular updates on progress and timelines.
Clean & Tidy Sites: We understand we are working in your home. We use dust sheets, floor protection, and site fencing to keep the mess contained. We clean up at the end of every day.
Our multi-skilled team covers all aspects of general construction.
We are experts in the heavy lifting.
Steel Installation: Installing RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists) for load-bearing wall removals.
Foundations: Digging and pouring footings for extensions and garden rooms.
Chimney Breast Removal: safely removing internal chimney breasts to reclaim floor space, including the installation of gallows brackets or steel supports in the loft.
From building garden walls to constructing the shell of an extension, our bricklayers are highly experienced. We match bricks to your existing property and ensure precise pointing.
We handle both pitched and flat roofing.
Flat Roofs: Installation of modern GRP (fibreglass) or EPDM rubber roofs which offer superior longevity compared to traditional felt.
Pitched Roofs: Slate and tile repairs, lead flashing replacement, and chimney stack repairs.
We provide both internal and external finishing.
Skimming: Creating smooth, glass-like finishes on walls and ceilings ready for painting.
Rendering: Applying sand and cement, K-Rend, or silicone renders to the exterior of properties to improve weatherproofing and aesthetics.
First and second fix carpentry services.
First Fix: Joists, stud walls, roof trusses.
Second Fix: Skirting boards, architraves, door hanging, and flooring installation.
Construction can be dangerous. We take Health and Safety seriously. We are fully insured with Public Liability and Employers’ Liability insurance. Our team is trained in safe working practices, ensuring the safety of your family, the public, and our workers at all times.
