About us
Skipton Renovations is Chris and Mark. Between them they had spent years on other people’s jobs watching the same thing happen: good trades, decent materials, and a customer left holding a schedule nobody had agreed to manage.
So the business was built around that gap rather than around a trade. We organise the whole thing. You get one price, one programme and one number.
Who you’ll deal with
Chris
Media wall specialist & electrician
With 29 years of experience within the electrical and media wall industry.
That work is unforgiving. A media wall is carpentry, electrics, plastering and lighting all landing within a couple of millimetres of each other, and it taught him the thing this business runs on: the finish is decided by how well the trades were sequenced, not by how good any one of them was.
Design, layout, joinery, finish and the client relationship.
Mark
Heating engineer & plumber
With 36 years of experience in the heating and plumbing industry, Mark built his career on reliable, professional workmanship and honest advice. Having worked for industry-leading companies including British Gas and Bosch, he brings decades of hands-on experience to every job.
He takes pride in doing things properly — quality workmanship, attention to detail, and putting the customer first. Heating and plumbing also dictate the order of everything on a renovation: boilers, radiators and bathrooms cannot be signed off until the rest of the job is nearly done. On most jobs that trade is a subcontractor juggling four other sites; here it’s on the inside, which is the single biggest reason our schedules hold.
Heating, boilers, plumbing and bathroom installation.
If the budget doesn't reach, if the wall can't come out, if we're not the right firm for the job — you hear it at the quote, not in week six. It costs us work occasionally. It's still the right way round.
Staged payments against completed milestones, agreed in writing. You never pay for work that hasn't happened yet.
A call or a message every Friday whether there's news or not. Silence is what makes people anxious on a renovation, so we removed it.
Dust barriers, protected floors, a tidy site every evening and a proper clean at handover. You're living in it, not visiting a building site.
Where we work
Skipton, Ilkley, Keighley, Settle, Grassington, Harrogate and across North & West Yorkshire. If you’re near the edge of that and not sure, ring and ask — the answer is usually yes.
