Our Story
Ask2build began with a simple vision: to deliver reliable, high-quality building services with integrity at the core. That vision started with one man, a van, and an unwavering work ethic.
The founder and director, Aaron Knight, set out as a sole tradesman with a deep commitment to craftsmanship, customer care, and doing things the right way. He built his reputation the old-fashioned way – through word of mouth, trust, and consistent results.
Starting with small domestic jobs his dedication quickly caught the attention of local insurance providers and loss adjusters. They noticed the precision of his work, his clear communication, and his ability to deliver under pressure. One referral led to another, and soon, he was managing not just repairs – but full-scale reinstatement projects.
As demand grew, so did the business. What started as a one-man operation gradually evolved into a multi-disciplinary team of qualified professionals: builders, surveyors, project managers, and support staff – all sharing the same values the company was built on.
Though the team is bigger and the projects more complex, our foundation remains the same: Hard work. Honest service. Quality results.
