In 2003 Stephen Dodridge formed a new building company in order to deliver on both quality traditional craftsmanship together with excellent customer care and service. With support from Nick Berry (Hence the name Berridge… Berry + Dodridge) Berridge and Co was formed.
Berridge & Co has now developed and established a friendly and passionate team of skilled workmen to complete a range of work with and for clients in and around west Berkshire, North Hampshire, East Wiltshire and south Oxfordshire areas.
Catering for clients on primarily residential construction we undertake specialist works on Listed and Historic property including renovation and restoration work, a particular passion to the team. We have undertaken several new builds for private individuals and also complete many general extension projects also including Barns, Garages and outbuildings.
Through our fair honest and direct approach to working with and on behalf of valued clients it is Berridge & Co’s continued aim to retain as many clients as possible in order to receive recommendation and repeat work for years to come.
How we Work
Firstly and foremost the only advertising we rely on is word of mouth, our job sign boards and sign written vans. We are smart, polite and run very safe, clean and tidy sites.
We can work under the supervision of professional Architects, Surveyors and Project Managers though prefer where possible to manage most aspects of the construction process, calling for professional help only when necessary minimising cost to the Client.
The majority of our work is based on an open book approach which is underpinned with a good foundation of trust and mutual understanding of the project in hand. Obviously clients require a budget for their work and this can be supplied but is very dependent on the standard and quality of information supplied. If the information supplied is vague then this will be reflected in the the budget.
Depending on the size and location of our projects, we try to complete a project before moving on and snagging is completed in the shortest possible time to finish the job properly. Sometimes things go wrong and faults or problems arise, in these events we are keen to deal with these as efficiently as possible, this ensures we get the continued repeat business which is vital to our business success.
