46 years on the tools
Renovations, extensions, structure and the fiddly old stuff.
I work one job at a time, so your project does not get passed around a sales office.
Home Extensions
Single-storey extensions, additions and structural alterations — from initial council application and engineer's report through to handover.
Bathrooms & Kitchens
Bathroom and kitchen renovations — from flat-pack installs to bespoke designs. Includes wet-area waterproofing, tiling, plumbing and electrical coordination.
Structural Alterations
Removing load-bearing walls, inserting support beams, restumping and underpinning. Engineer-backed work to BLD-licensed standard.
Heritage Restoration
Renovations of 100-year-plus stone homes — crumbling walls, mezzanines, period detail. Trained on 500-year-old castle work in the UK before emigrating in 2005.
Pergolas & Decks
Outdoor living — pergolas, decks, merbau posts, timber cladding. Outdoor showers and rendered courtyards on request.

“How lucky were we to find Garry Gardiner! We'd watched way too many episodes of Grand Designs and we needed a builder who would be patient and accommodating with all our unconventional ideas. We wanted a new ensuite and to re-arrange the mezzanine in our 150 year old hall. Garry was not phased by crumbling stone walls that leaned in every direction.”
Graeme and Cathy
★★★★★
“Garry provided a fixed price quotation including description of all costs and a schedule of payment terms. All works were completed within four weeks from commencement of demolition. We are extremely happy with the end result.”
Pam and Greg
★★★★★
“Garry only takes one job on at a time (which is reason alone to engage his services!) Kenny was onsite every morning at 0730hrs, and Garry often working until just before dark. Garry and Kenny are incredibly respectful with the house and yard always being left clean and tidy.”
Nicole and Paul
I still work the job myself.
I grew up in Gloucestershire, England and have been on the tools since I left school in 1980. Before I emigrated I worked on everything from new builds to restoration of 500-year-old castles and heritage buildings. I came to Australia in 2005 and got my Australian Builders Licence and Supervisors Registration in early 2006 — BLD 193216. Today I run renovations and extensions across the southern suburbs of Adelaide, working one job at a time so my clients get the same focus I'd give my own home.
