Working in Prestbury ## Prestbury projects are judged on finish, coordination and discretion Prestbury is a few minutes from our Alderley Edge office, across the lanes towards Mottram St Andrew and Butley. The village itself is a conservation setting: a historic core around the church and Bridge Green, listed and period buildings on the main street, and then large detached houses on generous plots spreading out along Macclesfield Road, Bollin Grove, Withinlee Road and the surrounding lanes. Beyond that the parish becomes properly rural: farmland, private drives, converted farm buildings and long service runs. The nature of the work here differs from a typical suburban patch. Projects tend to be larger and more specification-driven: replacement dwellings on plots bought for the land, whole-house refurbishment to a high finish standard, substantial extensions with complex glazing, pool buildings, garaging, gates and access works, and estate-scale external works. Programme coordination and quality of finish matter more than headline speed, and clients expect the same faces on site rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors. That is where a directly employed workforce is a practical advantage rather than a slogan. Joinery detail, plaster finish and brickwork quality are set by the people doing the work, and on high-specification Prestbury properties those are exactly the elements that show. When the same joiner hangs the internal doors who fitted the linings, the tolerances match. Discretion and site management also count. Many Prestbury properties are occupied during works, sit behind gates on private lanes, and have neighbours who value quiet. Delivery timing, plant movements, parking, site tidiness and working hours are all agreed at pre-start, and we hold to them.

View service Why KIIF in Prestbury ## The finish is set by the people we employ, not by whoever was available On Prestbury properties the visible quality of joinery, plaster and brickwork is the project. Employing those trades directly is the simplest way to control it. ### Our own joiners and plasterers The trades that produce the visible finish are on our payroll, so standards are consistent across the whole programme. ### 40+ years of larger projects Four decades across residential, commercial and industrial work, including substantial homes and multi-element programmes. ### Coordinated, not sublet Groundworks, structure, envelope, services and finishes are sequenced by us rather than negotiated between separate firms. ### Family-run and discreet Keep It In Family. David Cain and Victoria Kennedy run the projects personally, useful when a property is occupied throughout. ### In-house estimating Specification changes on a high-end project are re-priced quickly and transparently by the people who priced the original. ### Careful site conduct Gated drives, narrow lanes, mature planting and close neighbours all mean deliveries, plant and hours are agreed in advance. Local building conditions ## What Prestbury properties commonly need putting right Large plots and long building histories generate a specific set of problems here, most of them about water, ground and the quality of earlier work. ### Earlier work to a lower standard Many large Prestbury houses carry extensions, pool buildings or garaging added over decades, often with shallow footings, poor insulation and flat roofs now failing. ### Mature trees and foundations The planting that makes these plots attractive brings root protection areas and clay shrinkage-heave risk into every foundation and drainage decision. ### Surface water on large plots Extensive driveways, terraces and roof areas generate real volumes of water. Without designed soakaways and routing it finds the lowest point, which is often a building. ### Off-mains drainage in the parish Rural properties towards Butley and Mottram St Andrew rely on septic systems and treatment plants that need correct sizing, consent and maintenance. ### Listed and conservation constraints In the village core, materials, details and methods have to suit the building and the setting rather than the cheapest available specification. ### Exposed elevations and long roofs Large roof areas and exposed frontages mean flashings, valleys, copings and rainwater goods fail somewhere first, and internal damage follows fast.

Detail ## High-specification building work in Prestbury For Prestbury owners planning a rebuild, a major refurbishment or a significant extension, a plain account of where the risk, the cost and the quality actually come from. ### Replacement dwellings and new builds A large share of new build work in Prestbury is replacement rather than development: an existing house that no longer justifies refurbishment, on a plot that does. That project begins with demolition, service disconnection, tree protection and a groundworks package dealing with old foundations, redundant drainage and whatever else is buried. From there we work upwards in a fixed sequence: clearance, excavation, drainage, foundations, superstructure, roof, first fix, plaster, second fix, decoration, external works, handover. Because the core trades are employed, the detail set at first fix is carried through by the same people at second fix, which is where finish quality on a bespoke house is won or lost. We work to clients' architects and structural engineers and review buildability before drawings are frozen. On large Prestbury plots the early questions are usually access and crane positions, tree protection, drainage strategy for a much larger roof and hard-surface area, and how the build will be phased if the client is living on site or nearby. - Demolition, service disconnection and site clearance - Tree protection and root-aware foundation design - Drainage strategy for large roof and hard-surface areas - Full superstructure, roof and envelope - High-specification joinery and finishes in-house - Driveways, gates, terraces and external works ### Whole-house refurbishment to a high standard Refurbishment here is rarely cosmetic. The usual brief is to bring a substantial house up to current expectations, heating, wiring, drainage, insulation, glazing, bathrooms, kitchen, joinery, decoration, while retaining what gives the property its character. Doing it as a single programme is both cheaper and better. Trades sequenced under one contractor do not damage each other's finished work, and a single strip-out lets us see and correct fabric problems before anything is covered up. Damp, in particular, is diagnosed at cause: ground levels, rainwater disposal, bridged cavities or failed flashings, rather than treated as a decorating problem. Where properties are listed or in the conservation core, materials and methods are selected to suit the building. Lime-based repairs, breathable finishes and matched joinery profiles produce a result that stays intact rather than one that looks corrected for two years. - Full strip-out and reinstatement - Rewiring, heating, plumbing and drainage renewal - Damp diagnosis and correction at source - Matched joinery repair and replacement by our own joiners - Insulation and glazing upgrades with proper ventilation - Plastering, decoration and final finishes ### Extensions, garaging and ancillary buildings Extensions on large Prestbury houses are usually about adding a specific function, a larger kitchen and family space, a garden room, a pool or gym building, a guest wing, garaging with accommodation above, and making it read as part of the original house rather than an addition. Matched brickwork or stone, proportioned openings, correct roof pitch and eaves alignment, and honest attention to where the new structure meets the old are what make that work. Structurally, large openings and glazed links need the load path, bearings and fire protection resolved before demolition, and thermal bridging designed out at the junctions where big glazing meets masonry. Where an earlier addition is being replaced or altered, we investigate footings, roof and insulation first. On properties with three decades of accumulated additions, that investigation frequently changes the scope, and it is better known at proposal stage. ### External works, drainage and estate maintenance On plots of this size external works are a project in their own right: driveways with proper sub-base and edge restraint, gates and entrance works, retaining structures, terraces, drainage and surface-water strategy. Our own groundworkers carry that out, which keeps levels, drainage and the building itself coordinated. Long-term maintenance follows naturally. Large houses generate constant small work, gutters, flashings, external decoration, drainage, gates, joinery repairs, plant rooms, and most owners prefer one contractor who already knows the property and can plan that work annually rather than reacting to failures. ### Prestbury within our coverage Prestbury sits between Alderley Edge and Macclesfield, with Wilmslow to the north and Knutsford to the west, and rural Cheshire in every direction. A single directly employed team covers all of it from our Alderley Edge base, so travel is short and site issues do not wait for a subcontractor's diary. The high-specification refurbishment and new build work here uses the same detailing as our Alderley Edge projects, while the rural conversion, drainage and groundworks experience overlaps directly with Knutsford and the villages above Macclesfield. Prestbury questions ## What Prestbury clients ask first Do you serve Prestbury?Yes. Prestbury, Mottram St Andrew, Adlington and Butley are all within our core area. Our office is at 1 London Road, Alderley Edge, a few minutes away. How quickly can you get to a property in Prestbury?We are only a few minutes away by road, so site visits are short local journeys. Call 01625 830714 to arrange a time, we do not advertise fixed response windows we cannot honour on every job. What does a project in Prestbury cost?We do not publish figures. On larger Prestbury projects the cost is driven by specification, ground conditions, access and the standard of previous work. Every proposal is priced in-house element by element so you can see the effect of each decision. Can you work while we remain living in the house?Yes, and it is common here. Protection of occupied areas, dust control, working hours and phasing are agreed at pre-start so the household can function. Do you handle emergency or reactive work in Prestbury?Yes, alongside planned maintenance. Ring 01625 830714, describe the problem, and we will tell you what we can do and when. Do you work on listed and conservation-area properties?Yes. In the village core we specify materials and methods that suit the building, lime-based repair, breathable finishes and matched joinery, rather than the cheapest available option. Will the same trades be on site throughout?Our core trades are directly employed, so the same joiners, bricklayers, plasterers and groundworkers carry the job through. On high-finish work that consistency is the point. Can you take on external works and drainage on a large plot?Yes. Driveways, gates, retaining structures, terraces, soakaways and surface-water strategy are handled by our own groundworkers as part of the contract. Will you work with our architect and interior designer?Yes. We work to existing design teams and review buildability early so difficult details are flagged before drawings are frozen. Who runs the project day to day?KIIF is family-run, Keep It In Family. David Cain is Project Director and Victoria Kennedy leads project management and design.
