Construction Excellence Rooted in Tradition, Delivered with Innovation

Andrew Pooley Ltd is a specialist construction company with over 25 years of experience delivering exceptional building, restoration, and development projects throughout Northwest England. From historic farm conversions to specialised educational facilities, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques to create spaces that exceed expectations.

Our Story

Andrew Pooley Ltd was established in 1998 by Andrew Pooley, a master builder with a passion for traditional craftsmanship and quality construction. What began as a small renovation business has grown into one of Northwest England’s most respected construction companies, specialising in high-quality projects across multiple sectors.

Andrew’s background in historic building renovation established our early reputation for exceptional craftsmanship in farm conversions and period property restoration. As our expertise and team grew, we expanded into specialised construction for educational facilities, particularly SEN schools, where our meticulous approach and ability to create adaptive environments proved invaluable.
Today, our diverse portfolio encompasses everything from sensitive historic restorations to contemporary commercial developments. Throughout our growth, we’ve maintained our founding principles of quality craftsmanship, customer focus, and attention to detail.

Our Lancashire roots remain central to our identity, and we take pride in contributing to the region’s built environment while extending our expertise across Northwest England. With each project, we build not just structures, but lasting relationships with clients who value our transparent approach and commitment to excellence.
