“We chose Grocott and Murfit to build our pioneering, sustainable home because they offer a wealth of expertise at every level. Throughout the duration of our build, they showed a natural professionalism and genuine work ethic. We were so lucky to find the talented craftsmen our timber frame design required, and the customer service has continued to be superb since completion. Grocott and Murfit are exceptional builders!”

Grade II Listed 17th century farmhouse revived in the Wensum Valley

“I was impressed by how well-organised the construction was. Each tradesperson was highly skilled and the Site Foreman was outstanding. The renovation has made me even more thankful for all my blessings. It’s not just a more beautiful home, it’s a place that lifts my spirits every day.”

“Finding a builder who I felt I could genuinely partner with, who shared the same sense of passion for detail and quality of finish, was key. Grocott & Murfit were superb, proving to be genuine craftsmen who cared about the end result. I could not be happier with the outcome.”

Piers Harris

“Grocott and Murfit are just finishing a major house remodelling and extension project along with a full re-landscape of the garden area of our home. It was a big undertaking and involved extensive co-operation between many parties not least the local council . Grocott and Murfit’s team worked well and professionally with all the branches involved. All the guys were friendly and very approachable and we felt we had found a builder whom we can trust.
We were not onsite for the majority of the build and even now as the project ends we have been very relaxed to have the team in and out of the house without our presence knowing they treat the building with care and respect. They are a great team of tradesmen , being lovely to work with and always tidy and conscientious in their work. We would have no qualms in working with Grocott and Murfit in the future for any projects and happily recommend them to others.”

Client
“It felt like a real partnership working with Grocott and Murfit. They understood our operational needs, respected our brand vision and delivered a café and kitchen space that achieves both. The quality of the finish and the care shown on site speak for themselves. We’re delighted with the result and look forward to future opportunities to work together.”
Ben Marshall
“This was the first project that we had worked together with Grocott and Murfit, and we are absolutely delighted with the work completed to construct our new five-bed accessible accommodation, developed to expand our supported living provision at Thornage Hall Independent Living. From the outset, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, care, and a strong commitment to creating a high-quality environment for the individuals we support. What truly set Grocott and Murfit apart was their responsiveness and genuine partnership approach. Throughout the project they listened closely to our requirements, communicated clearly, and worked collaboratively with us not only to ensure every detail aligned with the needs of our community but to also deliver the project within budget. Their flexibility and solution-focused attitude gave us complete confidence at every stage of the build. We would not hesitate to recommend Grocott and Murfit to anyone seeking a reliable, skilled, and collaborative building contractor. Their work has been instrumental in helping us enhance and extend the high-quality supported living we provide at Thornage Hall Independent Living.”
Client
“Throughout the duration of the project, Grocott and Murfit exhibited remarkable attention to detail, ensuring that every restoration and renovation decision was made with the utmost care and consideration. They worked closely with myself and the client, as well as with heritage authorities and other stakeholders, to address any challenges that arose and found creative solutions that honoured the building’s unique history. I am writing to recommend Grocott and Murfit for any project requiring meticulous attention to detail, respect for historic structures, and an exceptional understanding of architectural sensitivity.”
Tom Ground BA (Hons) Dip Arch ARB

“It was our first time working with Grocott and Murfit but I would not hesitate to work with them again in future. Unlike many contractors we have worked with, Grocott and Murfit communicate well. From our and our clients’ perspective, this started the project on the right track. On site, work proceeded at good pace and with quality. Working with Grocott and Murfit we had a dedicated site agent with good communication, meaning things progressed smoothly and was dynamic to outside factors.”

Ashworth Parkes Architects

“We began the project collaboratively working with the client on this thoughtful, low energy, design led, replacement dwelling. An exemplar low-energy home is not delivered by drawings alone, but through close collaboration with a builder. Grocott and Murfit certainly excelled in their field – aligning ours and the client’s intent, expertise, and workmanship to turn energy performance, comfort, creativity and durability into built reality. We hope the clients enjoy this beautiful home for many years to come.”

Dan Higginbotham, Void Architecture

“We are a London and Norfolk based Architecture practice. We have worked with Grocott and Murfit Builders on a couple of projects including a private residential refurbishment with extension to a house in North Norfolk. We have consistently found their team to be highly professional, collaborative, and detail-orientated.

Their communication throughout the project was clear and proactive, schedules were well managed, and coordination with the consultants and trades was handled smoothly. They approached challenges thoughtfully and are solution-orientated, which is essential for our work. The quality of workmanship was excellent, and the finished work reflected a high level of care and precision.

We consider Grocott and Murfit a reliable and trusted contractor and would recommend them to clients and happily collaborate with them again on future projects.”

Sarah Griffiths (Williams Griffiths Architects)

“Grocott and Murfit are an outstanding contractor with a high level of attention to detail, professionalism and reliability. I have found working with them a positive and pleasant experience in all respects, and their proactive, solution based mentality refreshing. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to our clients on future projects and have confidence that they would deliver to a high standard.”

Lewis Williams

“We were really impressed with the attention to detail that G&M personnel showed throughout the project. It was delivered on time, and to budget. We would have no hesitation in using them again.”

Mike Bylina

“Lilywhites Carpentry Services have subcontracted for Grocott & Murfit on several projects and it’s been a genuinely positive experience throughout. Their sites are always well organised, clean, and maintained to a high standard, with health and safety clearly taken seriously. Everyone we’ve dealt with — from site managers and project managers to the office team — has been professional, approachable, and easy to work with. We’ve really enjoyed the working relationship and look forward to continuing to provide our carpentry services on their impressive projects.”

Craig Freeman
“BTP Electrical & Renewables LTD have now worked with G&M on multiple projects. We find there sites well ran and efficient. The main focus being detail and time frames. We would recommend them to all our clients.”
Peter Page

“There are builders… and then there are artisans who happen to work in brick, timber, and stone.

Grocott & Murfit Builders are quite simply among the finest high-end builders in Norfolk. We have worked with them for many years, and their standard remains flawlessly consistent — calm, precise, and deeply professional.

Daniel is exceptional: attentive, organised, and quietly outstanding in the way he leads every project from beginning to end. The craftsmanship is not merely good — it is signature. Lines are clean, finishes are immaculate, and every detail feels intentionally considered.

What truly sets Grocott & Murfit apart from other building companies in Norfolk is that they offer all services under one roof. Whether you are planning a luxury renovation, a seamless extension, or a full property refurbishment, there is no need to look elsewhere. Everything is coordinated with ease, delivering a complete experience as much as a complete build.

There is no rush. No compromise. No corners cut. Only the steady confidence of a team who know exactly what exceptional looks like.

If you are searching for trusted builders in Fakenham or Norfolk, who deliver lasting quality, beauty, and value, Grocott & Murfit are in a category of their own.

Once you work with them, you realise there is simply no further builder you need.

Highly, unequivocally recommended.”
