Our history
Our success story began over twenty years ago when founder Stuart Benjamin had a yearning to follow his passion.
Stuart always had a keen eye for seeing the potential in historic properties no longer loved like they once were. He knew his calling was to return them to their glory days whilst sympathetically incorporating modern-day conveniences.
And so Early Birds was formed, and since its inception has given many historic buildings a new lease of life, each with a modern twist.
Enviable reputation
Our portfolio truly speaks for itself, with excellent reviews from previous clients. We are renowned for successfully completing projects, on time, within budget and to the highest quality. And in early August 2021, we were showcased on Channel 4’s popular television series “Great British Home Restoration”.
Successful approach
We attribute our outstanding reputation to our robust, consistent approach to all jobs we do. Embarking on a project is really daunting. We totally get that, which is why we lead our clients carefully through the entire build process every step of the way.
Amazing team
The backbone of Early Birds is our exceptionally talented team of individuals. Each is highly skilled and fiercely passionate about what they do. What’s more, mutual respect occurs naturally between everyone, with all voices heard and every opinion valid.
