Garrett Building & Maintenance

Garrett Building & Maintenance Ltd is a Teignmouth-based building company established in 2018 by Chay Garrett. With roots in the local area and background in construction, maintenance, and civil engineering, Chay Garrett formed the business to offer personalised building services. The firm handles residential projects of varying scale, managing each from conception through to completion with full project coordination.

The range of services includes house extensions, full property renovations, structural alterations, and roofing works. Extensions often involve rear additions to create larger kitchens or open-plan living areas, incorporating features such as bi-fold doors or sliding patio doors. Renovations cover complete modernisations, from gutting outdated interiors to installing new dormers, Velux windows, and underfloor heating. Structural tasks encompass wall removals for open-plan layouts, steel beam installations, and chimney stabilisations.

Groundworks and external improvements form another key area. The company undertakes landscaping, patio construction, driveway replacements using hand-laid cobbles, and porch additions designed to match existing architecture. Conservatory removals followed by solid extensions are common, as are garage conversions into habitable rooms, including accessible wet rooms.

Projects frequently occur in Teignmouth itself, alongside nearby locations including Shaldon andDawlish.

Examples include the refurbishment of a 1970s bungalow in Dawlish with a new tiled roof and modest extensions, the creation of a cantilevered balcony with glass balustrading in Shaldon, and the transformation of a converted garage into an open-plan kitchen-diner in Teignmouth. A Victorian property received a phased structural extension despite challenging access, while a townhouse in Dawlish underwent comprehensive three-floor refurbishment addressing complex existing conditions.

Fully insured with public and employers liability coverage, the company emphasises client priorities through clear communication and reliable scheduling. Tradesmen maintain tidy sites and address unforeseen issues promptly. The business rates highly with many reviews, reflecting appreciation for professional delivery and finished results.

Garrett Building & Maintenance Ltd continues to serve the Teignmouth area and wider Devon with practical building solutions tailored to individual properties.
