About us
Ron and Andrew Ramsell.
We are a father-and-son building team based in Thorpe-le-Soken and Maidstone. We visit the property and prepare the quotation, then stay involved during the work.
Ron is a time-served sheet metal worker and welder with more than 40 years of experience in heavy industry. We are not architects, but we are used to precision work and have produced and worked from our own drawings for many years.
Industrial standards, at home.
Our industrial work is built to tight tolerances and checked at every stage. We bring the same care to your home: careful measuring, work checked as it goes, and a proper inspection with you before we finish.

Fantastic, professional, efficient work from the lads! Got me shed built in no time, thanks for all the help
Ron and his team are professional hard-working and reasonably priced. I was extremely happy with all the work they carried out for me and would have no hesitation in using them again and I would definitely recommend them. Extremely tidy too !
I can't recommend Ramsell Construction highly enough. Ron and Andrew have done an exceptional job building my new office from start to finish. Their workmanship is first class, and the attention to detail throughout the project has been outstanding. …
