About Us

A skilled family business…

Friary Builders is a family run business which was established in Derby in 1975, providing a service of the highest standard. Since 2009 we began by completing many general building work projects for domestic and commercial clients, and developed our skills as installers of tailored bathroom facilities for the disabled members of our community over 25years ago (see our Services for further details).

We are proud to be a member of Derbyshire County Council’s Trusted Trader Scheme and have excellent links to the Local Authorities in Derbyshire and Nottingham.

In 2010, the second generation of the Toone family took over and this change gave us the opportunity to scale down the size of the Company and focus on our niche expertise.

Our company currently completes disability adaptations for Local County and City Councils respectively, and private adaptations, most recently within Derbyshire.

Why our experience matters…

Having worked in nearly 1000 homes, we proudly “boast” about our ability to understand your individual needs and circumstances. It is our adaptability to your priorities that means we can promise to:

  • Respect our client’s home by keeping the disturbance and interruption to your daily routine to a minimum;
  • Handle the adaptations with sensitivity;

Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

Q: Do you provide a guarantee for the work you carry out?
A: Yes. We provide a 12 month guarantee on the labour we carry out, from the date of completion.

Q: Do you consider Health and Safety to be important?
A: Yes. We follow all legal requirements and assist you to understand the importance of all Health and Safety related issues associated with your job, or specific needs.

Q: Do you use sub-contractors?
A: We only use sub-contractors for specialized jobs such as electrical or gas works. Mark is able to carry out most other works in-house.

Q: Do you offer a Design Service?
A: We are not a ‘Design and Build’ building company. We can offer advice in terms of construction and how best to achieve the required layout, but we do not provide 3D images or detailed design drawings.

Q: Will the use of a ‘green’ building material mean that your prices are higher?
A: No. In general, our quotations reflect market prices. If, however, our client insists on the use of particular products we can discuss this on an individual basis.

Disability Adaptations

Q: Do you carry out all works yourself e.g. electrical, plumbing, flooring, or do you hire sub-contractors?
A: We can carry out most works involved in completing adaptations due to Mark’s vast experience, except for electrical and gas or other specialized works. We only sub-contract to qualified personnel whose qualifications are properly checked and approved.

Q: Are you able to organize your work timetable around my medical appointments?
A: We are well accustomed to working with people’s individual needs. We are more than comfortable to continue working while you attend any appointments, and can be trusted to replace any keys into Key Safes or pop them back through the letter box, if you wish. Your security is a priority.

Q: Does the introduction of specialized products mean that the delivery time for them will be longer and does this affect the construction process?
A: No. We make sure that all our materials are ordered well in advance, and we stay in regular contact with our suppliers in order to avoid problems with delivery and consequently the construction process.
