We are a small specialist home extensions company and at the front of our company is James.
James is Dreton. He is the man with all the expertise and experience needed to run Dreton successfully.
James started off with an NVQ in Bricklaying before going on to work for a partnership specialising in building extensions in West London. It was here he gained experience working on period properties in Holland Park and Notting Hill.
After a few years, James travelled the world with his wife, visiting South-East Asia, exploring Cambodia, Laos, and backpacking across Australia in a classic VW Kombi named Bessie.
His journey continued into New Zealand, where he eventually ran out of money!
After returning, James began working for a local family-run building firm. Here he managed extension projects and learned loft conversion techniques.
His strong structural knowledge earned him the respect of local Engineers and Architects.
As James grew in demand, he began working with multiple companies, taking on more extensions and expanding his experience. Later, he became Project Manager for a large building company, overseeing up to twelve builds at once.
Alongside managing these projects, James also worked as a consultant, advising building companies and solving on-site challenges.
Eventually, James realised he missed being ‘on the tools’ and decided to start his own company — Dreton.
Since starting Dreton, James has been going from strength to strength. Our biggest compliment is recommendations, which tells us we are doing a great job.
James prides himself on customer satisfaction and enjoys working with homeowners to create their vision.
James will be your first point of contact when you reach out to Dreton. He will personally visit your home to discuss your needs.
He loves to talk — so feel free to ask him anything!
