Our History

We believe we are the oldest family run building business in Hampshire and one of the longest running building firms in the UK. We are proud of our rich heritage and excellent reputation, which we have grown with our business over the years. We specialise as a main contractor on small to medium refurbishment, alteration, new build and maintenance projects in the South of England. Our long-term client relationships and excellent customer satisfaction feedback is testimony to our success.

Our Team

We employ a team of local, highly skilled and trained tradesmen, some of whom we are proud to say have worked for us for over 20 years and many who we took on as apprentices. We also have an excellent working relationship with several established and reliable sub-contractors from all trades we can utilise. T Coleborn & Son Ltd can also provide day work rates for clients, where immediate site start is required.
