Building and Construction Services in Gloucestershire

Our home is Gloucestershire. Midlands Building & Maintenance is based at Newtown Industrial Estate in Tewkesbury, in the north of the county, and from there we deliver building, refurbishment and maintenance work across the whole of Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties. Being a local building firm in Gloucestershire matters here more than it might elsewhere, because this is a county of real contrasts. The demands of a Regency townhouse in Cheltenham have little in common with a Cotswold-stone cottage near Cirencester, or a commercial fit-out on the edge of Gloucester, and understanding those differences is part of what we bring to every project we take on.

Gloucestershire is a place we know in detail, having worked across its towns and villages for years. On this page we set out the services we provide here, the areas we cover and the standards we hold ourselves to

The Tunnel House Inn

A builder that understands Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is not one place but several, and each part of it asks something different of a builder. The east of the county climbs into the Cotswolds, where honey-coloured limestone, conservation areas and listed buildings shape what can be built and how. The Severn Vale around Gloucester and our own base in Tewkesbury is flatter, more mixed, and home to a good deal of the county's commercial and residential growth. Cheltenham brings its own distinguished Regency architecture, with terraces and villas that demand a sympathetic and exacting hand. To the west, the Forest of Dean has a character entirely its own.

Working across this range over the years has taught us that local knowledge is not a marketing phrase but a practical advantage. We understand how Cotswold stone behaves, what the planning authorities across the county expect, which materials suit a period property and which would jar against it. That familiarity saves our clients time, reduces risk and produces work that belongs in its setting rather than fighting against it.

The services we provide across the county

We operate through six specialised divisions, each serving a distinct type of client whilst drawing on the same teams, supply chain and standards. For homeowners, our private homes division handles luxury refurbishments, extensions, structural alterations and bespoke joinery, the kind of work that reshapes how a family lives in its home. For businesses, our commercial teams deliver fit-outs, refurbishments and construction work for offices, hospitality and retail premises across Gloucestershire.

We also work extensively with the public and social sectors. Our local authority division carries out works for councils and public bodies, our education teams deliver projects for schools and academies, and our housing association division supports registered providers with planned and responsive works to their stock. Underpinning all of this is our maintenance services division, which provides the ongoing care that keeps buildings performing long after the main work is complete.

Across every division, our capability runs from the ground up. We undertake groundworks and drainage, including CCTV surveys and drainage tracing on new-build sites, through to structural works, heritage restoration, full refurbishments and the finishing trades that determine how a building looks and feels. Few firms in the county offer that breadth under one roof.

Where we work in Gloucestershire

From our base in Tewkesbury we cover the whole of Gloucestershire and its borders. Cheltenham and Gloucester are central to our work, and we are regularly on site across Cirencester, Stroud, Tetbury, Stow-on-the-Wold and the Cotswold villages that draw so many homeowners to this part of the country. Our reach extends naturally into the wider Three Counties and down towards Bristol, but Gloucestershire remains the heart of what we do.

This county-wide presence means we are rarely far from any project. It allows us to respond quickly, to visit sites readily during the works and to maintain the close communication that good building depends on. Clients in Builders Cheltenham, Builders Gloucester and across the Builders Cotswolds area benefit from a contractor that is genuinely local rather than one travelling in from a distance.

Proof of our work in the county

We would rather show our standards than simply claim them. In Pittville, one of Cheltenham's most prestigious addresses, we replaced traditional sliding sash windows and carried out full external rendering and redecoration to a residential building, working in challenging conditions whilst preserving the character that makes the area so sought after. The result protects the property for years to come and respects the architecture around it.

In Cirencester, we delivered the refurbishment of the public conveniences at Abbey Grounds for the local authority, a project that called for durable materials, careful detailing and a finish in keeping with a much-loved public space. It is a reminder that our public-sector work is held to exactly the same standard as our private homes, and that no project is too modest to deserve proper craftsmanship.

These are the kinds of references we are always happy to discuss, because the work speaks for itself.

Heritage and period property expertise

Much of Gloucestershire's appeal lies in its older buildings, and a great deal of our work involves them. Period and listed properties carry obligations that newer homes do not, from listed-building consent to the use of traditional materials and methods, and getting this right requires both technical skill and genuine respect for the building's history.

We have carried out sensitive work on heritage properties across the region, including Grade II listed schemes, where every intervention has to satisfy the regulations as well as the character of the original. Cotswold-stone repair, lime work, sash window restoration and careful render are all part of our experience. For homeowners and custodians of older properties in Gloucestershire, that heritage capability is one of the most valuable things a local builder can offer.

Accreditations that stand behind our work

Quality and safety should never rest on trust alone, which is why independent accreditation matters. We hold SafeContractor, CHAS, Constructionline and FMB membership, each of which involves external assessment of how we operate, from health and safety to financial standing and workmanship. For private clients these accreditations offer reassurance, and for the public bodies, developers and architects we work with across Gloucestershire they are often a requirement. Either way, they reflect a way of working we are proud of.

Behind those credentials sit more than 60 years of combined leadership experience, a team of around 70 skilled staff and an established supply chain of more than 200 partners. It is a depth of resource that allows us to take on substantial work across the county with confidence.
