Rooster Construction LTD

A major renovation to an 18th Century Purbeck stone family home, this project began in August '25 to replace an old extension which was slowly subsiding away from the main house. As initial demolition of the old extension commenced, it soon became apparent that a large part of the main house was structurally unsound, including the stone roof and the (lack of) foundations. This was no easy project; from problems with restricted site access to the house being surrounded by mature trees in an area of heavy clay subsoil. Nevertheless, Rooster Construction had a very proactive approach to problem solving throughout the project. Communication was key to success and options were discussed in a very collaborative and transparent way with solutions provided in clear detail at every stage, keeping in mind to conserve the original house as much as possible and an eye on the budget. Each phase of the work was meticulously carried out using high quality materials, with a "belt-and-braces" approach to assuring the new infrastructure of the house. The foundation for the new extension had to be increased to 2 meters depth, the main house walls required extensive reinforcement (due to many old cracks) and full under-pinning. A whole new roof was constructed with steel ridge-beams at the core and an innovative new stone tile roofing system. I was living on the site during the whole build and observed a great team of professionals working seamlessly well together, with many of the disciplines being at the core of the group and an excellent relationship with their suppliers, thus minimising delays and supply issues. The project evolved during the process with a few additions not originally planned, I found the team very flexible in providing solutions. This resulted in an amazing transformation and I now have a lovely, fully functional, well insulated new home that will last for generations to come. I would strongly recommend Rooster Construction to anyone embarking on a building project (small or large).

Rooster Construction transformed our unused loft into a beautiful new bedroom and office. The whole process was stress-free, and the team was friendly, hardworking, and highly skilled. Their communication was excellent, and the quality of the finish exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a loft conversion in Dorset.

They are such a friendly team and so easy to chat too. Often they suggest ideas of better ways of doing things and these are the things that make them stand out as they give you that lovely finishing touch at the end. We will continue to use Roosters with further projects as the trust and friendliness is there every time. The team are incredibly hardworking, transparent with pricing and complete everything to a high standard without taking shortcuts (It was pointed out to me by one of my patients who was a builder the high level of attention to detail in the carpentry) We’ve had experiences where Builders are offsite for weeks and then come on site again whereas Roosters were on site from start to finish for the main project. All snags were addressed and they do their upmost to make sure at every stage we’re happy. They provide alternative suggestions where they see potential problems. Such as, they recognised we would have storage issues in the future and suggested ways to create more. Which we followed and so glad we did. This project involved full demolition and rebuilding a new property. Being our first and managing the project ourselves, Florinda not only helped us every step of the way but took on a lot of the responsibility herself in what is extremely complex when dealing with managing timings, visits, forms etc. Jani,Florinda, Blendi, John and the others who were involved are a real pleasure to have on site, they built our dream house and for anyone considering using Rooster construction in the future will not be disappointed.

This was a very important build for us and we were on a very tight budget. The team made sure that we could have everything we needed at a price we could afford. The project was then broken down into staged payments so that we paid for what had been done. The team are very family oriented and were a delight to get to know. Their work ethic is strong and I know that they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy at every stage. Of course there were hiccups and delays, but tell me a build that doesn’t experience that at some point?! Anyway, the end result is a beautiful extension that will make our lives as full time carers not only easier but will add quality to our lives. We are full of admiration and thanks for a job very well done, with us and our family at the centre from start to finish. Thank you Rooster!

Rooster Construction did an amazing job on our home. They handled everything — the extension, underfloor heating, loft conversion, skylights, and landscaping. The quality is excellent, and our house now looks modern and beautiful. They were also very patient with us. Every time we wanted to change something, they listened and made it happen without any problem. They really cared about getting everything right. The price was also very good for the great work they did. We’re so happy we chose them. Thank you for making our dream home a reality!

SUPERB! The service I have received from this company has been second to none. Jani and Florinda are lovely people and the guys in the team are some of the most hardworking that I have seen for years. In just three days they removed an old, well worn patio and replaced it with a gorgeous, modern one which has taken my garden to another level. They take pride in their work and even the tiniest detail must be perfect. I LOVE the resulting masterpiece and so does everybody who has seen it. I appreciate the courtesy, respect and consideration shown to this old lady by everyone involved in the project. I recommend them 100% and would use them again, in a heartbeat. The latest count shows that there are almost a million words in the English vocabulary. Well, I only need three to describe my experience with Rooster…….’SIMPLY THE BEST’.
