Traditional roofing · Timber repair

Hipped roof and dormer rebuild.

We constructed a traditional cut hipped roof over the new side extension. When extensive rotten timber was uncovered in the existing dormer, it was stripped back and rebuilt with a new structural frame ready for its external finish.

Current project · Full extension

Wraparound extension in progress.

An ongoing wraparound extension incorporating structural steelwork and a metal-web joist system. The joists were carefully installed and trimmed around the steels, with temporary boarding above providing a working platform for the bricklayers.

Fire-damaged underpass restoration.

Following extensive fire damage, we removed the burnt timber, damaged joists and remaining ceiling materials. New structural joists were installed, followed by 150mm insulation and fire-resistant boarding.

Structural repair · Interior joinery

Floor joist replacement.

After discovering extensive woodworm and rotten timber, we removed the affected floor joists and old insulation. New structural timber joists and insulation were installed, leaving the floor ready for boarding and its final finish.

Bespoke joinery · Made-to-measure storage

Fitted wardrobes, made your way.

Every wardrobe is designed around your space and how you want to use it—from the internal storage and door style to the mouldings, handles and colour. These floor-to-ceiling wardrobes were handmade from MDF, finished with detailed applied mouldings and painted in a warm beige to sit naturally within the room.

Bespoke joinery · Fitted cabinetry

Bespoke media wall & Shaker-style cabinetry.

Designed and built to transform the full wall into a balanced feature, this bespoke media unit combines a central television area with six handmade Shaker-style doors, generous concealed storage and symmetrical open shelving. Warm timber-slat panelling and integrated LED lighting add depth and highlight the fitted details, while the made-to-measure construction works neatly around the room’s original cornice and bay window.

Trade experience.
Personal standards.

Gray & Hull Construction was built around a simple idea: the care expected in bespoke joinery should carry through an entire building project.

Chris and Ellis lead an established multi-trade team capable of delivering complete residential projects, while remaining personally involved in the details, coordination and final standard of every job.

Our approach

Clear from the outset.

01

Listen & measure

We understand the space, the finish you want and the practical details before recommending a route.

02

Plan & price

A clear scope helps you understand what is included and gives every trade the same target.

03

Build & finish

We coordinate the work, protect the quality and stay focused on the details people notice every day.

Great work starts with a clear conversation about the space, the finish and what matters most to you.
