Builders in Newquay

Family run builders in West Cornwall since 1975.

A Nevitt Construction is a family run builder working in Newquay, based twenty-five miles away in Hayle and building across West Cornwall since 1975. Newquay work splits between holiday-let refurbishment, apartment conversions and new build to the Nansledan design code.

Building in Newquay

Nansledan is what makes building in Newquay unlike building anywhere else in the county. The Duchy of Cornwall’s 540-acre extension has been going up since 2013, with 3,700 homes planned out to around 2045 and 827 completed by the end of 2024. It runs to a strict traditional design code: slate from Trelivett and Delabole, De Lank granite from Bodmin for kerbs, lintels and sills, and Cornish-language naming on the streets and buildings, from Kosti Veur to Skol Nansledan. Building in or near it means building to that code rather than to a volume house-builder’s standard details.

The rest of the town is older and busier. The conservation area protects the Victorian seaside townscape around Fore Street, Cliff Road and Narrowcliff, including landmarks such as the Victorian Gothic Hotel Victoria of 1899. Out at Pentire, near Fistral, converted apartments and Victorian and Georgian terraces are let for self-catering, and refurbishing one of those runs to a tight seasonal calendar: the work has to be finished and the site cleared before the lettings start again.

The work Newquay usually needs

  • Holiday-let refurbishment around Pentire and Fistral
  • Apartment conversions in the Victorian town centre
  • New build to the Nansledan traditional design code
  • Conservation area work in the older seaside streets
Getting to you

About 25 miles from Hayle, usually around forty minutes. That is close enough to come and look at the job properly before quoting it, and close enough to be on site when we say we will be.
