ABOUT VESPA

..what we do and how we can help

Builders in Truro, Cornwall

Founded by Ashley Riches alongside brothers Jon and Ben Drew, they first met through sport and bonded over a love of carpentry and construction, which led to them wanting to create a company that allowed them to pour their passion into other’s project dreams. The team consists of ten tradesmen whose skills span across carpentry, joinery, masonry, groundwork, rendering, plastering, plumbing and electrical work, which means you can feel assured that Vespa have complete control of any aspects of work within a project scale.

Despite the level of expertise on hand, Ashley, Jon and Ben are still heavily involved as directors. This direct involvement all the way from planning to completion means that you don’t have to worry about dealing with project managers or supervisors. With their name on the work, it’s important to the founders that they feel the work with their own hands so the finished product is nothing less than what you envisioned when you first embarked on your project. One happy customer says:

“These guys are brilliant, efficient and talented tradesmen with a lot of skill, knowledge and expertise. They were also very polite, informative, kept the space clean and tidy and were respectful of our neighbours. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again for future projects.”

Josh and Ash were fantastic from the start. They were great at advising during the design stage and I am so glad we took their advise. They were always prompt and early and worked solidly throughout the day. I couldn’t believe how quick the progress was. They are great at focusing on their skill set and bringing other professionals to do the other skilled work like plumbing, plastering and electrics which means everything is done to top quality as opposed to have a jack of all trades and a master of none. Their carpentry, building and construction were spot on and we were so impressed, we are hoping to get them back to build our porch with bathroom.

Absolutely excellent service from start to finish! We asked Ashley and Josh to construct a new roof for our barn conversion following a recommendation from a company that was quoting to slate the roof once it is built. We were amazed at how fast these guys worked and there was certainly no compromise on the quality of the job either. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better they came in under budget too! I simply can not recommend Vespa highly enough.

Ash is a most professional tradesman. He put up shelves for us and we were delighted. His customer care was first rate. I would unhesitatingly recommend Vespa Cornwall Carpentry and Construction. I’m booking him for more work in the near future. Also cleans up after himself. Top rate.

We were fortunate enough to come across Vespa Cornwall just as we were looking for a kitchen renovation and just as they were starting out. From the moment we initially contacted them to the moment the job was completed, they were absolutely superb. We were working to a fairly tight budget and weren’t sure if our project was even viable with the budget we had. Ash and Josh (the two owners of Vespa) were brilliant. They were realistic, sensible, open and honest about what they thought was achievable and we were fortunate that everything we wanted could be done. The conversations around budget continued openly throughout the build meaning we never had any hidden costs or shocks along the way. Everything was discussed and they went out of their way to keep the costs down in a variety of sensible ways. And they finished exactly to time scale! The quality of the work was fantastic and we are absolutely delighted with the finished kitchen. Both Ash and Josh have a keen eye for detail and take great care to ensure that things are done correctly and to a very high standard. This attention to detail is evident in our finished kitchen. As mentioned previously, the communication throughout the whole project was second to none and it made the whole process fairly stress-free! At every stage, we were made aware of any potential snags and suggestions of how it could be dealt with. Overall, I cannot recommend Vespa Cornwall highly enough. They were exactly what we were looking for to take on our project: friendly, honest, punctual, lovely with our young boys, reliable, highly-skilled, professional and proud of their work. Thank you again Vespa!!
