Our story

Builders you can
actually rely on.

Over 30 years of skilled trade across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire — a small, capable team that handles every part of the build in-house so our clients get one point of contact, one team, and one finished project they're proud of.

Home About
Established · Trusted · Local

A Belper firm,
built on repeat work.

K. Smithurst Building Contractors Ltd has been building across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire for over three decades. We're a limited company, registered in England & Wales (Reg No. 04362330), based in Belper and covering Derby and the surrounding area.

Most of our work comes through recommendation. Clients who use us once tend to use us again — for the next extension, the second property, the family member's renovation — because we deliver what we said we would, to the agreed budget, to a standard we're proud to put our name to.

Real reviews from real Derbyshire homeowners.

I employed Kev Smithurst builders to build a complete stone Annex at my property in Ambergate. Kev and his team completed the whole project from start to finish and I'm absolutely delighted with the finished result. The build quality is superb and blends into the listed building at the side of it seamlessly. All staff were polite, considerate, incredibly hard working and kept the mess and disruption down to a minimum. The project was delivered to the agreed budget and I personally can't recommend Kev and his highly skilled team enough.

Kev, Paul and all of the team are reliable and have certainly always exceeded our expectations. They've done a brilliant job with several separate extensions on our house, as well as several work properties too. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. Thanks again all.
