Dan Cook Carpentry and Building Limited

Our projects - building excellence

Edge of Dartmoor

Having moved to their 1930’s property in 2021, our clients did so knowing that they would undertake an extensive project of works to create a “forever home’.

Project: New build
Date: September 2025

“After delayed planning and failed tender processes, we were starting to lose faith in achieving our ambition for our new home when we came across Dan Cook Carpentry & Building Limited. Dan was happy to visit for an initial consultation, and from our first meeting it was obvious to us that he was the builder we had been looking for. His calm and reassuring approach put us at ease and with his confident and ‘can do’ attitude, we were happy to instruct him and his team to take our project forward.

George would project manage our site day to day with his professional attitude and considerate nature. Concerns and issues were quickly nullified, and even major delays out of everyone’s control could not dampen the enthusiasm and professionalism of the team. A rare attribute that gave us the confidence and comfort needed which can so often be missing in the building industry. We are grateful that the team have worked tirelessly to engage with other professionals, especially our architect, throughout the project to deliver a great product.

Dan, George and the wider team truly are skilled craftsmen and have delivered a project that has met the high standard and attention to detail we were looking for. We were especially impressed with the way the team worked with their apprentices; carefully talking aspects through, supervising and training every day to ensure a high quality throughout. This is something that is of benefit to everyone, both clients and employees, now and in the future.

We would not hesitate to recommend Dan Cook Carpentry & Building Limited.”

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.
