Why Us?
Our Approach: Easy, Transparent, and Fair
Seamless Communication
At Blue Ladder, we’ve streamlined the process of hiring a
building contractor to make it easy, transparent, and fair for you. Our
commitment to clarity begins with the initial quote, which encompasses projects
of all sizes.
What you see is what you pay; there are no hidden fees. Your
online quote includes a comprehensive schedule of work, cost breakdowns, and any necessary design drawings and 3D models, giving you a clear understanding of our services. We commence building only after you’ve confirmed the scope of work and agreed on the price through your dedicated customer portal on our website. Typically, we request a deposit before commencing work, with the remaining balance due upon completion. Rest assured, you’ll have a full schedule of costs and payment dates before committing to any project.
Sustainability at the Core
Blue Ladder places a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. We incorporate recycled materials whenever feasible and consider the environmental impact of our work from the initial design phase through to project completion.
Experience and Expertise
Our team of professional builders and contractors boasts extensive experience in both commercial and domestic projects of varying scales. Additionally, our extensive network includes specialist tradespeople, allowing us to access the right expertise for every facet of your project. If we don’t have the required skills in-house, we know precisely who to call to get the job done to your satisfaction.
Consideration for Your Comfort
We understand that construction projects can disrupt daily life. To minimize inconvenience, we maintain a clean and tidy workspace, and noisy work is limited to agreed-upon hours.
Blue Ladder: Transforming Vision into Reality
At Blue Ladder, our commitment to customer satisfaction, sustainability, and transparent communication us unwavering. We transform your visions into reality, one project at a time. Blue Ladder was founded by Dan Huke and Martin Kilpatrick, each bringing their unique skills and passion to the business.
Martin Kilpatrick
Martin’s journey began in corporate audit, but his heart lay in the world of construction. Over the past 15 years, he has honed his skills in the building trade, encompassing diverse projects, from refurbishing offices in the heart of London, including iconic landmarks like the Gherkin, to extending and redesigning homes with new kitchens, bathrooms, and gardens. Martin’s core passion is carpentry, from bespoke bookcases, staircases, and cupboards to large scale renovations and new builds. Beyond carpentry, Martin has considerable expertise and experience across all the major specialisms in domestic building. Quality is the driving force for Martin, and his work is testament to that.
Dan Huke
With a background in IT and project management, Dan is a relative newcomer to the building industry. In a few short years he has been turning his passion for creating beautiful and functional structures into a thriving business. Having been a customer of building services himself, Dan recognized the often confusing, costly, and unreliable nature of the industry. In response, he and Martin established Blue Ladder with a mission to redefine the building experience. At Blue Ladder, the customer always comes first, and our commitment is to deliver quality work at transparent and fair prices.
