The Yorkshire Renovation Company – Renovation and Property Projects in West Yorkshire
The Yorkshire Renovation Company is a West Yorkshire business with involvement in residential renovation and property improvement projects across the region.
Although the company doesn't maintain a large public online presence, there is independent evidence of its work – including recognition in the West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards – and we also have our own professional connection with the company through landscape design work.
That's particularly valuable for The White Shire.
Rather than creating a business feature from advertising material, we can tell you about a Yorkshire company we've actually had professional dealings with while keeping the information in this article strictly to what we can verify.
A West Yorkshire Renovation Company
The Yorkshire Renovation Company Limited is an active company incorporated in August 2014.
Current company information records its registered office at Reglan House, Methley Road, Castleford, WF10 1NX.
There isn't a detailed company website providing a comprehensive list of current services, so we're deliberately not going to manufacture one.
What we can establish is considerably more useful: evidence of actual residential renovation work and recognition for one of the projects with which the company was involved.
Recognition at the West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards
One of the strongest independently verified examples of The Yorkshire Renovation Company's work comes from Local Authority Building Control, better known as LABC.
At the 2020 LABC West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards, a residential project on Barnsley Road in Ackworth, Pontefract, was Highly Commended in the category for Best Extension or Alteration to an Existing Dwelling.
The official LABC results identify the project team as The Yorkshire Renovation Company and Neil Hollis, with Wakefield Metropolitan District Council as the local authority.
That's worth highlighting.
The LABC Building Excellence Awards recognise projects through the building-control profession, giving us independent evidence connecting The Yorkshire Renovation Company with a recognised residential alteration project.
A Local Ackworth Connection
The Barnsley Road project also gives this particular White Shire business feature a strong local connection.
Ackworth sits within the Wakefield district of West Yorkshire and is somewhere we know particularly well through our own walks, businesses and local features.
Finding independently documented examples of Yorkshire companies working within Yorkshire communities is exactly what we want from the business side of The White Shire.
It tells us considerably more than simply finding a company name in an online directory.
Our Connection with The Yorkshire Renovation Company
We also have first-hand professional experience of working with The Yorkshire Renovation Company.
Michael Palmer, co-founder of The White Shire and a professional garden and landscape designer, has previously produced landscape design work connected with the company.
More recently, Michael was contacted following a recommendation from The Yorkshire Renovation Company to design an outdoor kitchen for one of its clients.
The brief was to create a modern cooking and entertaining area that worked with the existing garden while introducing a strong architectural feature.
The resulting design incorporated a covered kitchen zone, integrated worktops, a built-in cooking area and sheltered seating.
That project is documented on Michael's own landscape-design website, so this isn't information we've pieced together from third-party business directories.
It is genuine first-hand professional experience.
We think it's important to disclose that connection when featuring the company on The White Shire.
Renovation and the Outdoor Space
Our own involvement also demonstrates something that can sometimes be overlooked during a major property renovation.
The house and garden don't necessarily need to be treated as two completely separate projects.
Extensions and alterations can change how a property connects with its outdoor space. Doors move, views change and new entertaining areas can create opportunities to reconsider how the garden works.
The outdoor-kitchen project Michael designed following The Yorkshire Renovation Company's recommendation is a good example of the relationship between improvements to a home and the landscape surrounding it.
Why We're Featuring The Yorkshire Renovation Company
The White Shire business directory isn't intended to become another enormous list of company names copied from the internet.
We want it to contain Yorkshire businesses with something genuine behind their listing.
In the case of The Yorkshire Renovation Company, we have two particularly useful pieces of evidence.
We have independent recognition from LABC connecting the company with a Highly Commended residential alteration project in Ackworth.
And we have our own professional connection through landscape design work and a subsequent client recommendation.
That's enough to tell a useful story without pretending we know things about the business that we don't.
We're deliberately not listing services, guarantees, accreditations or areas covered unless we can verify them.
Discover More Yorkshire Businesses
Independent builders, designers, tradespeople and specialist companies form an important part of Yorkshire's communities.
That's why businesses now sit alongside our walks, attractions, events and local features on The White Shire.
We're gradually building a directory where people can discover Yorkshire businesses and then find out a little more about the people and work behind them.
You can also use The White Shire to discover places to walk, things to do and what's happening across West, North, East and South Yorkshire.
The Yorkshire Renovation Company – Our Business Feature
The Yorkshire Renovation Company is a West Yorkshire business with independently documented involvement in residential renovation work.
Its project at Barnsley Road in Ackworth was Highly Commended in the 2020 LABC West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards for Best Extension or Alteration to an Existing Dwelling.
We also have a genuine professional connection with the company through landscape design work undertaken by Michael Palmer and through a subsequent recommendation that led to an outdoor-kitchen design project.
There's relatively little public information about the company online.
Rather than seeing that as a reason to fill the gaps, we've done the opposite.
We've kept this feature to what we can verify and what we know from first-hand professional experience.
For us, that's a much better fit for The White Shire.
