Johnson Construction & Building Ltd is a family-run building company based in Dorking, Surrey. Established in 2010, the business brings together more than 40 years of combined building experience across residential construction and property improvement.

We believe being local and hands-on matters. Rather than simply arranging a project and disappearing, we stay closely involved from the first conversation through to completion, helping the different stages of the work come together properly.

Trusted Trades We Have Worked With for Decades

A successful building project often requires several different specialists. Rather than leaving you to find and coordinate everyone yourself, we can bring together trusted tradespeople we already know and work with.

01

Electricians

Trusted electrical trades for the installation and alteration work required as part of residential building projects.

02

Plumbers

Experienced plumbing and heating trades who can be coordinated alongside the main construction programme.

03

Plasterers

Trusted plastering trades for preparing and finishing new walls, ceilings, extensions and refurbished spaces.

04

Decorators

Experienced decorators who can complete the final stages and help take a project from construction through to a finished room.

Long-standing working relationships matter.

Many of the tradespeople we use have worked alongside Johnson Construction for more than 20 years. That familiarity helps us coordinate the different stages of a job and work together as one project team.

Your Project. Your Choice.

Let Us Manage the Complete Package - or Use Your Own Trades

Some homeowners want one team to organise everything. Others already have an electrician, plumber, decorator or plasterer they would like to use. Both approaches are absolutely fine.

Flexible Option

Use Your Own Trades if You Prefer

Already have tradespeople you trust? You are welcome to use them. We can carry out the Johnson Construction element of the project and work alongside your chosen contractors where required.

  • Use your own electrician, plumber or other trades
  • Keep existing relationships with contractors you trust
  • We coordinate our building work around agreed stages
  • The decision remains yours throughout the project

02

Fully Insured

The company carries appropriate employer's liability, public liability and installer all-risk insurance for its building work.

Own Plant & Equipment

Access to our own plant, lifting and specialist construction equipment can help reduce unnecessary hire requirements on suitable projects.

Hands-On Capability

Our Own Plant and Specialist Construction Equipment

Johnson Construction owns a range of plant, machinery and specialist equipment used across different types of construction work.

This includes equipment used for structural steel installation, lifting, drilling and other major stages of residential building projects. Having suitable equipment available can help us manage work efficiently and, where possible, reduce additional plant hire costs.

It is another part of our hands-on approach: having the experience, people and practical capability required to manage more of the project through one building company.
