Our Story & Background

Founded by experienced carpenter and builder Ryan Naylor, RN Carpentry & Building has grown from a small carpentry business into a building company capable of delivering full structural projects, including loft conversions, double-storey extensions and new-build homes.

Ryan started out on the tools, focusing on kitchens, bespoke carpentry and internal renovations. As demand grew from repeat clients and referrals, the business naturally evolved into a full-service building company taking on larger structural work, managing subcontractors and coordinating full property refurbishments.

Today, RN Carpentry & Building continues to offer high quality carpentry and renovation work, but our main focus is on:

  • Loft conversions that maximise space and natural light
  • Home extensions that feel like part of the original house
  • Full house builds and knock-down rebuilds
  • Kitchen installations and interior renovations that support future plans
