Skeens & Wallace (Skeens & Wallace Ltd) is a building firm founded in 2023 by Peter Skeens and Mark Wallace, serving Hampshire and West Sussex. Contact: info@sw-ltd.net, +447495642012.

## About

Skeens and Wallace was set up in 2023, but Peter and Mark go back a lot further than that. They first met more than forty years ago at Skeens Contractors, Peter's dad's civil engineering firm, and spent over twenty years working together there. They've been good friends ever since.

After that their careers took them in different directions. Peter went into consultancy and new build, while Mark stayed on the construction side. Then in 2021 a big building contract brought them back together, and it took everything the two of them had learned over the years. It went well, so they took on another one, and by 2023 they'd made it official as Skeens and Wallace Ltd.

They haven't looked back since. The work takes them all over Hampshire and West Sussex now, and after all these years they still care just as much about getting the details right.

They are, and will always remain, trusted partners for us and a genuine pleasure to work with." - Daniel Stroud, Cover Storey Architects
- "From the moment we met Peter and Mark we knew they were the only people we wanted to carry out the work on our house. They really understood us and what we wanted to achieve, and thought about our quality of living during the work, which was a blessing. Their communication was excellent at every point, and all of the guys they have working are a delight - polite, hard working, punctual and just nice to have around. We are nearly 12 months post-work and we have not had a single issue. We would never hesitate to recommend Skeens & Wallace to anyone looking for any type of building work." - Chris & Ali, Havant
- "We have been working with Mark and Pete for several years now across various building projects on our home. They are always keen and engaged, and offer valuable guidance to ensure projects are completed to our standard. Their work is efficient and, most importantly, tidy, and they always leave the site secure and safe at the end of each day. As with any project the customer changes their mind along the way, and we are no exception - Mark and Pete are always receptive and positive, and resolve any issues without fuss. We intend to have more work done by them next year and wouldn't consider working with any other builders." - Stuart & Claire, Drayton
