Renovations go wrong
between the trades
Most renovation stress does not come from the work itself. It comes from the gaps: the plasterer waiting on the electrician, the inspection nobody booked, the kitchen fitter who arrives before the floor is ready. When nobody owns the whole job, you end up managing it yourself.
Design Built Right works the other way. Andrew Peniston has been self-employed in the building trade for 18 years. He plans your project, brings in the right specialist for each stage, co-ordinates them in the right order and handles building control on lofts and extensions, so there is one person answerable for the result.
You get the extra bedroom, the bigger kitchen or the fully renovated home you had in mind, without having to become a project manager to get it.

Eighteen years of building,
one name on the job
One person accountable, start to finish
Andrew runs every project himself. The person who prices your job is the person on site making sure it is built right, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the finish.
18 years of hands-on experience
Self-employed since 18, Andrew has spent his whole working life in building and carpentry, and holds City & Guilds in Joinery and Carpentry.
The right specialist for every stage
Rather than one crew doing everything, Andrew brings in trusted specialist trades for each discipline, and co-ordinates them so the job runs in the right order.
Registered gas and electrical work
Gas work is carried out by our own registered gas engineer and electrics by our own registered electrician, both co-ordinated as part of your project.
Building control managed for you
On loft conversions and extensions Andrew handles building control sign-off himself, so inspections and certificates are not left for you to chase.
Evenings and weekends available
Open from 7:30am to 7:30pm, seven days a week, so site visits and work can fit around your life rather than the other way round.

Renovating in Selby & Yorkshire
A local renovation company
for Selby and Yorkshire homes
From terraced houses in Selby town centre to family homes in Thorpe Willoughby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster, most properties around here have more potential than they are using. A loft conversion in Selby adds a bedroom without losing the garden. Arear or side house extension turns a cramped kitchen into the room the family actually lives in. A full house refurbishment brings a tired house up to date in one planned programme instead of years of piecemeal jobs.
As a design and build company in Selby, we take on the whole project: the joinery and carpentry, the co-ordination of specialist trades, roofing, tiling, and gas and electrical work through our own registered engineer and electrician. For loft conversions and house extensions, Andrew handles building control sign-off, which is often the part homeowners find hardest to manage alone.
Looking for kitchen fitters in Selby? Kitchens are one of our main specialisms, and because we also handle the joinery, tiling and co-ordinated electrics and gas, the kitchen is finished as one job rather than several.
Garden rooms are the other area we are asked about more and more: a proper insulated space for a home office, gym or studio, without the cost and disruption of moving house.
We also carry out home renovations in York, Leeds, Wetherby, Pontefract, Goole and Doncaster. Wherever you are in Yorkshire, you deal with Andrew directly, from the first conversation to the day the work is handed over.
Still weighing up your options? Call 07939 194244 and talk it through. There is no obligation.
