Residential & Property Development

74 Stockton Lane, York

" Vinehouse completed a range of projects on our home, a large Edwardian terrace, including an extension to the kitchen and a substantial reworking of the top floor. We are delighted with the outcome and are very much enjoying the new space. The quality of VHC workmanship was first class and the team were friendly, helpful and considerate, minimising the impact of the major works. They were always able to suggest and deliver solutions to the issues thrown up by our old house, and are our first choice for any future work. "

Green Lane Vets, York

" Vine House managed to deliver our vision for Green Vets, a modern veterinary surgery in York.  We had a disappointing first experience with another builder, but Vine House was a very different experience.  We were impressed with their professionalism and commitment to finding solutions to unexpected problems that always come up during any construction project.  They are easy to work with, always friendly and reasonable.  The result is quality work that speaks for itself.  Green Vets - https://thegreenvets.uk "

Atlay House, Kepwick

" Vine House Construction undertook a major renovation and extension of our house, in the North York Moors National Park, in excess of £500,000. We knew that the works would be challenging due to the house being located on a hill.  This had been the first time that we had undertaken construction works of this magnitude. I am pleased to say that VHC took all this in their stride. Their expertise and advice was invaluable. Due to their experience on previous projects, they came up with ingenious solutions to unknown problems as they arose and still managed to bring the whole project within budget. Throughout the 10 month project the team worked relentlessly, in some challenging weather conditions, at times. Their attention to detail and workmanship was second to none. I was particularly pleased that, from the top down, the team were professional, highly skilled and respectful at all times. Best of all, they all took personal pride, throughout the process, in trying to deliver the house of our dreams. I am pleased to say they did so and exceeded my expectations. Therefore, I would have no hesitation at all in recommending VHC to anyone. "

The Coal House, Kirk Deighton

" Vine House Construction have recently completed a kitchen extension for us.  The project included extending the kitchen onto an existing raised deck, waterproofing and altering the covering on the deck, alterations to steps and creating a garden room / home office under the new extension.  The quality of work carried out is excellent, communication throughout the build was great and nothing was too much trouble for Paul.  There was always a solution to any questions we had (and there were many).  Without exception the different trades brought onto site were professional, friendly and treated our home with respect.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Vine House Construction.

CONSTRUCTION & NEW BUILD

OLD SHED NEW HOUSE

" We quickly discovered that building a house is a complex process including visionary and practical specialists like architects and engineers. And then there are the people who have to convert this vision into a real structure, which in itself requires its own type of problem solving as well as builder’s skills. We are very grateful to Vine House for delivering this for us with commitment, determination, consideration of our concerns and requirements, and skill. Their close team work with ourselves, our architects and the sub-contractors contributed to the success of our joint venture and the beautiful home we are fortunate to now live in. "

Robert Wilkinson Academy

" Vine House Construction undertook the works to construct a new first floor teaching and arts facility at Robert Wilkinson Primary Academy. Vine House Construction were selected following a vigorous interview and procurement procedure as they recognised and understood the needs and demands of the project. The project took place whilst the school was still in use so Health & Safety was a priority. I was delighted with the work Vine House Construction carried out for the Trust. The work was finished on time and nothing was too much trouble for Paul and his team. I have no hesitation in recommending them.  https://rwprimary.co.uk/ "

Old Mechanics Institute

" We have worked on three projects with VHC and find the quality of the workmanship and finish first class. What makes them different to other builders have worked with is their communication is excellent , they explain things in simple terms and they introduce alternative ideas. We have put into practise many of these ideas which have not only worked better for us but have saved significant money. They are prompt and what they promise, they deliver Lastly, on the final project we worked on, we lived in the house. They tidied up at the end of each day and the place was liveable when returning from work - in contrast our kitchen was fitted by A N other contractor and the mess left was frankly disgraceful and in total contrast to the care attention and empathy of VHC. I would have no hesitation in recommending and using them again. https://www.deford.co.uk/ "
