Builders in Penzance
Family run builders in West Cornwall since 1975.
A Nevitt Construction is a family run builder working in Penzance, based eight miles away in Hayle and building across West Cornwall since 1975. Much of the work here is period refurbishment of Georgian and Regency townhouses, plus repair of seafront weather damage.
Building in Penzance
The Penzance Conservation Area runs around Chapel Street and Market Jew Street. Chapel Street is the most historic thoroughfare in the town, lined with grand Georgian homes from the late eighteenth century and the Admiral Benbow Inn. A short walk away, Regent Terrace, where numbers 12 to 19 are Grade II listed, along with Regent Square, North Parade and South Parade, carries more rows of listed Georgian and Regency houses. Work on buildings like these is repair and sympathetic refurbishment, matching what is already there instead of replacing it with something that will look wrong in five years.
Then there is the seafront. The promenade dates from the 1800s and runs toward Newlyn, fully open to Mount’s Bay. Jubilee Pool, the Art Deco seawater lido of 1935, was badly damaged by storms in 2014 and restored by 2016, which tells you plainly what that exposure does to a structure. Render, windows and roofs on the Penzance seafront take punishment that houses half a mile inland never see, and specifying for it, rather than hoping, is part of the job.
The work Penzance usually needs
- Period repair of Georgian and Regency terraces
- Listed townhouse refurbishment in the Conservation Area
- Render, window and roof work on salt-exposed seafront homes
- Extensions and remodels to larger period houses

About 8 miles from Hayle, usually under twenty 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.
