“A major renovation of an old cottage, whilst living at a distance, was made much less stressful by Struan and Rachel Armitage and their team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, quality of work and co-ordination of external contractors and suppliers meant that we could be assured corners were not being cut or problems covered up. We are delighted with the end result and so pleased that we chose them to do the work”

"We started working directly with Armitage after parting ways with our architect. Struan was very helpful and pragmatic with his suggestions and we ended up with more affordable plans and a better lay out. Despite us living almost 5000 miles away for most of the works and pretty much every piece of original timber needing replacement, the project ran smoothly and we couldn’t be happier with the result and the quality of Armitage’s work. If we were to embark on a project of this scale again, we would certainly use Armitage."

Nanette and I purchased ‘Benview’ in the Summer of 2015 with a view to opening a ‘Boutique’ B&B - somewhere a little bit special with fine views, peace, and of course relaxing comfort. In short the whole of the upstairs needed to be scooped out and reconfigured into 3 plush ensuite rooms, the kitchen and central heating brought into the 21st Century and entire property appropriately insulated. The things that really impressed us through this extensive referb was the sense that the Armitage's understood the final goal-not just another rural  house upgrade-but rather something that would form the basis of a distinctive and hopefully successful business. The quality of the upgrade work undertaken and the continual attention to detail and quality contributed immeasurably to what we hope will continue to be a sought after location for many years to come! 

"Having already used Armitage for a previous house renovation, we did not think twice in approaching Struan and Rachel to oversee the planning and renovation work on what would become our forever family home. Their ‘can do’ attitude and reliability was invaluable when faced with the countless decisions and problems that are inevitable in any renovation or building process. Struan and Rachel’s expertise, approachable demeanor and dedicated workforce meant that we were able to work together to create a house that goes above and beyond our expectations within a realistic timeline made all the more pressing when we announced the imminent arrival of our second child! We can now truly say we live in our dream house and will forever be thankful to all those involved throughout the ‘Armitage Experience’. "

"I would like to take this opportunity thank you and the whole team for the quality work and craftmanship which has gone in to building this beautiful house; a house which I am now delighted to call my home. Circumstances did not permit me to participate in choosing the finishes but as a testament to your choices these remain unchanged and are likely to do so for some time to come. I am very grateful not only for the prompt attention when assistance was required but also for the additional work to complete my workshop and carport."

"Thank you to all at Armitage Groundworks for helping us to build our dream family home on the beautiful Isle of Arran, we are extremely pleased with the outstanding finished result. All the staff were fabulous, the help and advice throughout the whole experience from the initial planning and through the various stages of building made the whole experience very straight forward. The exceptional quality of the finishing touches makes our house so special to us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. Thank you all very much… Lisa, Iain, Sophie, Jessica, Rosie and Theo Maclean!"
