New Build Home in Legsby
This New build home in Legsby began as a clean plot on a quiet lane. The brief was simple to say and hard to deliver: create a warm, durable family layout and keep the programme calm from first dig to keys. If you want the wider context of how we run projects, our House Building overview sets out the approach, then the story below shows it working on the ground.
Setting out and first shovel in the ground
We fenced the plot, brought in welfare and temporary supplies, then marked every corner directly from the drawings. An early scaffold lift kept work safe as the walls rose. Trenches followed a simple grid so loads travelled as the engineer intended, then became strip foundations with concrete placed to depth and starter bars where required. For local trench details and service runs, see Groundworks Lincolnshire.
Substructure that stays dry and true
We built the substructure up to the damp proof course, kept cavities clean as we worked and set trays at openings. The slab sat on compacted Type 1 with sand blinding, a continuous membrane and rigid insulation, then a reinforced pour. By the time it cured the footprint felt exact and the site stayed tidy even after heavy rain.
The shell takes shape
New Build Home in Legsby has external walls that follow classic brick and block construction. We installed cavity wall insulation as the lifts rose, set lintels with stop ends and weeps, and used insulated closers at openings to prepare for clean window installs later. This is the point where everything starts to feel permanent.
The moment it becomes a house
Upstairs landed in a focused push. We installed first floor joists, trimmed the stairwell and laid moisture-resistant tongue and groove, glued and screwed for stiff, quiet floors. Safe access improved and the ground floor finally read as rooms rather than a building site.
Weather in, weather out
With the frame ready, trusses went on and were braced to trussed roof installation guidance. Membrane and battens followed, then a neat slate roof with crisp leadwork at junctions. Once the slates were on, materials stayed dry and the internal schedule moved faster for this New Build Home in Legsby.
Windows, doors and a confident front
When the masonry had cured, we set the openings and brought the elevations to life. The New Build Home in Legsby wears white framed windows that sit comfortably with the brickwork, and the tall entrance glazing creates a bright galleried landing that lifts the hallway without overpowering the facade. The single garage door was fitted once driveway levels were ready.
Services and the rooms you actually live in
First fix is where tidy work saves time later. We ran clean routes for first fix electrics, plumbing and ventilation, then designed heat and hot water around an air source heat pump so plant, cylinder and controls felt designed-in rather than parked where space allowed. We also prepared for solar PV with direct cable runs to the inverter and a clear position for the generation meter. After plaster, second fix joinery pulled everything together and the ground floor of this New Build Home in Legsby settled into an open plan kitchen living layout that makes daily life easy.
Outside, finished with care
Kerb appeal is many small tidy decisions. We shaped and compacted a gravel driveway with a block paved entrance apron, hung timber five bar gates on treated posts and set closeboard fencing where privacy mattered. Lawn and levels were finished for move-in day. If you are planning drives, gates or gardens alongside a main build, explore Landscaping & Exterior Works.
Checking the details and handing over
Before handover we tested every circuit to NICEIC standards, commissioned the air source heat pump with the full record set and completed the solar PV paperwork including DNO notification. Airtightness met target on the first attempt and Building Control issued the final certificate after a short, clean snag round. The finish felt exactly as it should: quiet, complete and ready to live in.
