Builders in Helston
Family run builders in West Cornwall since 1975.
A Nevitt Construction is a family run builder working in Helston, based ten miles away in Hayle and building across West Cornwall since 1975. Helston and the Lizard bring rural work: barn and farmhouse conversions, groundworks and listed building repair.
Building in Helston
Helston is a former stannary town and the gateway to the Lizard, and its conservation area holds around 190 listed buildings, seven of them Grade II* and 183 Grade II, concentrated along Coinagehall Street and Meneage Street. The construction is local granite and slate. The Blue Anchor Inn at 50 Coinagehall Street, an eighteenth century thatched pub, sits on a granite ashlar plinth with rubble walls, and repairs to buildings of that kind need matched materials and a light hand rather than a modern specification imposed on top.
Past the town the stock changes again, to traditional granite farmhouses and barns spread across the Lizard hinterland through Wendron, Sithney, Breage and Mawgan. Barn conversions and agricultural buildings turned into homes are the characteristic Helston job, and they lean heavily on groundworks: access tracks, drainage on rural plots with no mains connection nearby, and foundations in ground nobody has surveyed in living memory. RNAS Culdrose on the edge of town is a major employer, which keeps property turning over and refurbishment demand steady year round.
The work Helston usually needs
- Barn conversions and agricultural to residential projects
- Granite farmhouse renovation across the Lizard
- Groundworks, drainage and access on rural plots
- Listed building repair on Coinagehall and Meneage Street
