Samuel Sheldon

Established over a century ago and remaining a family business throughout that time Samuel Sheldon Ltd truly is a company for whom no job is too big or too small. We have had years of experience dealing with both private individuals who may have little or no experience of the building industry and large organisations who deal with building contractors at all times, we therefore pride ourselves on our ability to be able to offer the best of both worlds. Our aim is to make having building work done as easy and as simple as possible for you the customer whilst still providing our services at a very reasonable cost.

At Samuel Sheldon Ltd we aim to provide you with the kind of organisational expertise you need to complete your project on time and to a high quality level of finish. At the same time, we provide the kind of customer service that will allow you and/or your organisation to function properly with the minimum effort and fuss. As a long established company we pride ourselves on our ability to carry out high quality works within budget and on schedule. As with all good construction companies our primary asset is our staff; their strong work ethic and desire for quality has ensured that both old hands and new staff members alike are instilled with this united sense of purpose and direction.

One way of increasing your energy efficiency and slashing those dreaded fuel bills is by fitting new windows and doors. Keeping old and draughty windows and doors will mean the heat in your property will escape into the atmosphere, wasting your money and leaving you with a chill. In conjunction with our trusted long-standing supplier, World Group of Carlisle, we are proud to offer thermally efficient double and triple glazed UPVC windows and doors in a variety of styles and finishes. Our double-glazed units meet national efficiency standards and our triple glazed units exceed them by substantial margin.

Plastering and rendering are a key component in the high quality work on which Samuel Sheldon prides itself. Almost all of our homes through out Cumbria use some sort of plaster or render finishes, and an uneven or poorly finished wall can really spoil the look of your home, so a good smooth finish is essential. Perhaps your property has been suffering from damp, or maybe the plaster is getting old and has started to come away from the wall. You might have had a doorway blocked up and need it blending in to the existing plaster.

It is often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home; we understand this and can supply and fit a wide range of inspirational kitchens, complete with accessories, worktops, sinks and taps, to suit your needs. We can provide a full makeover including all tiling, flooring and decoration which saves you the time consuming hassle of organising several different contractors. Our main trusted kitchen supplier is Howden Joinery. Manufactured to the highest standards, Howden's units and appliances are designed around the requirements of the modern home meaning you need look no further for your complete kitchen.

Samuel Sheldon Ltd is fortunate to have a very highly skilled team of joiners. Using a mix of time honoured, traditional methods and new, modern technology in our fully equipped workshop, our joiners can easily turn their hands to any joinery task you care to mention. Our services include, but are not limited to: bespoke hardwood doors and casings, windows, bespoke hardwood skirtings and architraves, custom cabinets for kitchens and bathrooms, gates, fencing, guttering, fascias, cladding and many more.

Our team of experienced building contractors have the knowledge and experience to design and build extensions to existing buildings which are comepletely in keeping with the original structure and work through every stage of the project until the new extension is ready for you to move in and decorate. We can find and source materials to match the original building or if necessary or prefered we can find modern substitutes that will seamlessly blend in to the rest of the building. Our skilled craftsmen can even replicate any unique features of the building such as arch ways and carvings to make sure even the details are right on your new extension.

Bathroom suites nowadays come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes; from sleek, modern designs to more traditional classics, there is plenty of scope for people of all tastes to make a statement with their 'smallest room'. With this in mind we use a wide range of suppliers including Heritage, Eastbrook, Iflo and many more to ensure that all tastes are catered for. We can complete a full makeover including plumbing, tiling, flooring, decoration, accessories, dual fuel towel rails and electrical works.

An old or leaking roof can cause all sorts of problems if it isn't properly dealt with. Leaks can cause rapid deterioration of the building, and old, poorly insulated or leaking roofs are very inefficient. Most wasted heat from a building is lost through the roof, so if the roof is in poor condition it makes the problem worse. Samuel Sheldon Ltd can carry out any roofing work you care to mention, whether it's replacing a slipped slate here and there or replacing the entire roof. We can work with a variety of materials including tiles and imported and domestic slates, and we can also supply and install modern insulation to ensure that your property is as warm - and as energy efficient - as it can be.

Nowadays it's a lot easier, and far more common, to have work carried out which drastically alters the shape or size or your property. If that property is a listed building however, it can be hard to modify it and remain within the regulations. Samuel Sheldon Ltd has plenty of experience of working in old and listed buildings; we have carried out a number of projects at local churches, school rooms and a variety of other buildings which have required us to use such traditional building techniques as plastering with horse hair and lime plaster, joinery and stonemasonry.

As well as being an attractive feature for any home conservatories are also a relatively inexpensive way of increasing the ground floor living area of your home. As well as being used for just sitting and enjoying the sunshine, they can be used as Dining Rooms, extensions to your kitchen or living room, or even as a family playroom. We can design and install high quality, attractive conservatories throughout Cumbria for those wanting that little bit of extra space for relaxation. You can enjoy the sunshine in a light, airy conservatory which suits your home and lifestyle.
