Builders on Skye

Skye work is planned as a block with deliveries and welfare sorted in advance, because nothing about an island job is improved by improvising it. From a single extension to a full renovation or new build, we cover Skye and the surrounding IV51 area as a matter of course.

What we do here

Building and renovation on Skye.

Skye is island work, which means deliveries, access and welfare are planned as a block before anything starts, and the buildings themselves are built for exposure that mainland detailing does not always allow for. In practice most of what we are asked for on Skye is croft house renovation, with the rest of what we do available alongside it.

Questions

Working on Skye.

What building work do you do on Skye?

Across Skye (IV51) the work is mostly croft house renovation, new builds and letting-property refurbishment. Skye is island work, which means deliveries, access and welfare are planned as a block before anything starts, and the buildings themselves are built for exposure that mainland detailing does not always allow for. Every job starts with a proper look at the building rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to work on Skye?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Skye is roughly 73 miles from Inverness, and coverage across that distance is stated up front rather than added later. For work of real size we plan the site properly rather than treating it as a day trip.

Have you worked on Skye before?

Yes. Skye work is planned as a block with deliveries and welfare sorted in advance, because nothing about an island job is improved by improvising it. We are happy to talk through the kind of work we have done near Portree when you get in touch.

Does the property on Skye affect how the job is done?

It does, in two ways. The buildings themselves are built for real exposure, so traditional detailing and breathable materials matter. And the logistics change the job: materials come over in planned loads, so the programme is set out properly at the start instead of trips being made up as we go.

Can you take on a large or long-running project on Skye?

Yes, and that is the work the firm is built around. We are currently delivering a multi-year Highland shooting lodge renovation running through to 2029, so a substantial renovation or new build on Skye is well within what we are set up to hold.

How quickly can you quote a job on Skye?

Usually within a week or two of getting in touch, depending on the size of the job and where Skye sits in the current programme. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before any work starts.
