The House of Holmes story

We're a family owned building company striving to put customer care first and foremost in everything we do.

We achieve that by keeping small, independent and local so we can stay on top of every detail personally from our showroom office in Westgate-on-Sea.

What we offer

We pride ourselves on providing a one-stop solution by offering a comprehensive range of building services from renovations and extensions to loft conversions, kitchens, bathrooms, and bespoke joinery solutions.

Managed solutions

We believe that by keeping projects centrally managed by a single contractor, costs and timelines can be more carefully managed, giving you the confidence that your project will be carried out on time and on budget.

Dream Team

We have our own team of multi-skilled tradesmen to deliver clients' projects. In addition we have an enviable little black book of specialist tradespeople who join us for those jobs only they can do.

Service from start to finish

We are dedicated to providing exceptional service no matter what size of job. From initial quotation through to final delivery we can help you design your dream project, work seamlessly with architects, engineers and designers throughout your build, and ensure every detail is managed from start to your total satisfaction.

Our Family Team

Nicci Holmes

Director

Having spent over 25 years in the corporate financial services sector Nicci had been counting down the years for when she could leave the rat race and finally join Greg in their ultimate business dream.

Whilst Nicci had limited building skills, she bought with her a wealth of relationship and project management knowledge and felt this was an area that was lacking within the building industry.

Nicci loves dogs, is partial to a glass of wine and since joining the business is now a fully fledged site member (aka labourer). However, what she lacks in carpentry skills she makes up for with her excel spreadsheets and organisational skills.

Greg Holmes

Director

With over 20 years experience in the building and carpentry industry as a sole trader Greg always dreamt of having a family run business that had offices in the high street, where clients could pop in to chat about their project requirements.

As an award winning designer, (cool hey), and his work being featured in the Observer Magazine, (double cool hey), he is not just super passionate about delivering a top quality service, he also loves braais (aka BBQ), Bloody Marys and anything mechanical that he can take apart and restore (when he has time…)

Sherlock Holmes

Director of Groundworks (DoG)

A demolition expert with a talent for customer relationships, Sherlock became a full family member of The House of Holmes in early 2023 and has become an integral member of the team and can often be found enjoying a bone in our showroom office.

Local Focus

We know that being local means we can best serve our clients, so we take on building projects located within in the Isle of Thanet Area of North Kent from our Westgate-on-Sea showroom office.
