What we do
Five trades, one family firm
From a glass lean-to over the patio to an extension with a vaulted ceiling, we can take on the whole job – the structure, the carpentry and the finishing – or just the part you need.
Outdoor & Timber Structures
Pergolas and dining pavilions, verandas and glass-roofed lean-tos, oak porches, garden rooms, car ports and outdoor kitchens – designed for your garden and built in timber.
Carpentry & Joinery
Site carpentry and made-to-measure joinery: roofs, floors and walls, doors and trim, built-in storage and the finishing details that make a room.
Landscaping
Patios and paving, timber decking, fencing, gates and brickwork – the hard landscaping that makes a garden usable, built on proper foundations.
Building & Maintenance
Roof repairs, painting and decorating, and general building work – one call for the jobs that keep a home sound.
About DG & Sons
A family name on every job
DG & Sons is a small, family-run team led by Harry George. The name on the van is the name on the work, and that keeps us careful: we listen to what you want, tell you straight what it will take, and build it to a standard we’re happy to put our name to.
Several of our customers have come back to us for a second job. We also build for local businesses and schools – recent work includes outdoor classrooms for Wantage Church of England School, a seating area at The King’s Arms in Wantage, and a storage unit at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital.

In our customers’ words
A small team that cares about the finish, keeps you in the loop and stays on budget – that’s what we aim for on every job.
Highly recommend this small but hard working team! They put their heart into their work and the standard of finish is professional with an outstanding eye for detail. They provided a fair, well considered quote and stayed within the budget throughout, always consulting us, checking before decisions were made and keeping us in the loop at all times. Felt comfortable having them work in our home and have already recommended them to others.

Questions
Good to know
The things people most often ask before they get in touch. Anything else, just ask.
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based in Wantage and work across the surrounding area. Recent jobs have taken us to Grove, Didcot, Abingdon, Steventon, East Hendred, Hanney, Drayton, Radley, Denchworth, Northmoor and Woodstock, and over into Berkshire at Lambourn. If you’re not sure whether you’re in range, call or message us.
Can you take on a whole project, or just part of it?
Either. Because we cover building, carpentry and landscaping, we can take on a whole project – an extension with a new patio and fencing outside, say – or one part of a bigger job.
Do I need planning permission?
It depends on the work. Many single-storey extensions, garden rooms, pergolas and fences fall under permitted development, which has limits on size, height and position. Listed buildings and conservation areas have stricter rules. We’ll tell you what’s likely to apply to your plans; your local council or the Planning Portal has the final say.
Do you work for businesses and schools?
Yes. Alongside homes, we’ve built outdoor classrooms for a Wantage primary school, a seating area for a local pub and a storage unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
How do I get a price?
Send the form below, or a WhatsApp with a few photos and a rough idea of what you’d like. We’ll come back to you to talk it through and, where it’s needed, arrange a time to see the space.
How soon could you start?
That depends on the size of the job and the time of year. Ask when you get in touch and we’ll give you an honest idea of dates.
Tell us about your project
A few details and a rough idea of what you have in mind is plenty. We’ll call or message you back to talk it through.
Thank you – that’s with us.
We’ll be in touch shortly to talk it through. Photos of the space help: you can send them on WhatsApp.
