About Us
The Cotswold Builders was founded by Mike and Marc, two experienced tradesmen with a shared vision: to deliver exceptional building work rooted in craftsmanship, trust, and local pride. With over 25 years of combined experience in the construction industry, we started the company to bring a more personal, professional approach to building services in Cheltenham and the wider Cotswolds.
The name The Cotswold Builders reflects not only where we’re based, but what we stand for — quality, tradition, and the distinctive character of the region. Whether we’re restoring period homes, managing full renovations, or taking care of the smaller finishing touches, our focus is always on integrity, detail, and delivering results we’re proud to put our name to.
We’re passionate about what we do, and we look forward to helping you bring your next project to life.
What Makes Us Different
While many companies offer a range of services, what truly sets The Cotswold Builders apart is our commitment to quality, transparency, and the personal relationships we build with our clients.
We’re not just builders — we’re trusted partners throughout your project. From the first conversation to the final handover, Mike and Marc are directly involved, ensuring clear communication, honest advice, and hands-on project management every step of the way. You're not passed from department to department — you deal with the people actually delivering the work.
Our deep local knowledge of Cheltenham and the Cotswolds means we understand both the style and the standards expected in the area — whether that’s preserving listed features, sourcing the right materials, or meeting tight planning regulations.
And above all, we genuinely care about the end result. We treat every home as if it were our own, and we never cut corners. That pride in our work is what keeps clients coming back and recommending us to others.
Our Core Values
At The Cotswold Builders, our work is guided by a set of core values that reflect who we are and how we operate:
1. Craftsmanship
We take pride in the quality of our work — from the largest structural build to the smallest detail. Every project is carried out with precision, care, and a commitment to excellence.
2. Integrity
We believe in being honest, transparent, and dependable. No hidden costs, no false promises — just straightforward communication and a job done right.
3. Reliability
When we say we’ll be there, we mean it. We respect your time, your space, and your trust. That reliability is what our reputation is built on.
4. Collaboration
We listen, we consult, and we work closely with our clients throughout the entire process. Your vision and input matter — and we treat every project as a true partnership.
5. Respect for Heritage
Being based in Cheltenham and working throughout the Cotswolds, we understand the value of tradition. Whether it’s restoring a listed property or blending new designs with old-world charm, we always work with respect for the character and history of the area.
These values aren’t just words — they’re part of every decision we make and every project we complete. They’re why our clients trust us, and why we love what we do.
Our Vision for the Future
As we look to the future, our goal for The Cotswold Builders is simple: to continue growing as a trusted name in quality construction while making a lasting, positive impact in Cheltenham and the surrounding Cotswolds.
We want to be known not just for the buildings we complete, but for the relationships we build — with our clients, our team, and the wider community. That means investing in local talent, supporting apprenticeships, and creating opportunities for the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
We’re also committed to raising the standard of building work in the area — setting an example for professionalism, sustainability, and integrity in every project we take on. Whether it’s helping to preserve the region’s architectural heritage or delivering modern solutions that respect the character of the Cotswolds, we want our work to stand the test of time.
Ultimately, we hope to be more than just builders. We aim to be a company people are proud to work with — and proud to recommend — because they know we genuinely care about the people and places we serve.
