Two builders who never got round to growing.
Ian Halstead and Peter Rowe met on a site in Macclesfield in 1991 and started Halstead & Rowe seven years later.
The plan was always to stay small enough that both directors could be on every job. Twenty-seven years and ninety-four houses later, that hasn’t changed — we still take on four or five projects a year, and one of us is on your site most weeks.
We employ eleven people directly, including our own joiners and bricklayers. The trades we don’t carry in-house — electrics, plumbing, plastering — have been with us more than a decade each.
