Dan Cook Carpentry and Building Limited

Our projects - building excellence

Sandy Meadow – Dartmoor

Building an "off grid idyle" in the heart of a national park

Project: New build
Date: August 2024
Client: Paul Evans

As a family, we embarked on creating our forever home in the heart of Dartmoor. We knew this would be a journey that, once complete, would deliver our dream of living sustainably in the heart of Devon. In selecting our construction partner, I knew we needed a team who both shared our vision for our home and understood the importance of off-grid, sustainable living. Thankfully, we found Dan Cook Carpentry and Building Ltd.

Dan, George and the team did the dream build for us. The workmanship, quality of materials, and attention to detail were all excellent.

The programme of works flowed seamlessly. Most importantly of all, the communication was outstanding. Friendly and professional, and you could tell they really cared about making it the best house. Nothing was too much trouble; everyone worked so hard and always had time for one more little change.

You hear about people having terribly stressful house builds, but ours couldn’t have been better- dream team.

I would thoroughly recommend Dan and his team.

After taking on my father’s home on the outskirts of Chudleigh and moving our life from the New Forest to Devon, we realised that the existing 1960’s chalet bungalow needed to be bought in to the 21st century.

We received an impressive, detailed costing and work started in August. Access to the site was difficult due to the narrow lane, this presented Dan, George our amazing site-manager and the team with several difficulties and with all issues they found a solution.

We first knew of Dan’s work through his local reputation and following his previous projects on Facebook. We started a conversation with Dan about his company building a holiday lodge for us at Southview Lodges.

Dan's ongoing communication of the progress he was making was second to none and particularly when on site I valued our catch-ups. Indeed, I have forged a friendship with Dan which I fully value.
