About Us
Colemans is a family owned and run business established in 1977 and now into its 3rd family generation. Growing from a sole trader then to a well established business today, employing a number of skilled craftsmen along with having many close links to local sub contractors. All craftsmen involved in our projects are committed to working to our very high standards. During this time we have also built up a comprehensive list of very loyal and satisfied customers, quality workmanship and customer satisfaction are our main priorities. Our reputation for distinctive work and unparalleled quality has helped us build up this large client base. This client base is the back bone of our company due to the fact that most of our work stems from referrals.
Company Directors
Our company consists of three partners, Philip, Susan and James Coleman. Philip has a wealth of experience from his 40 years in the industry and formed the business in 1977 with his wife Susan who is mainly office based. Philip and Susan’s youngest son James joined the company in 2004 following an established site management role with a large national house builder.
