ABOUT US


Founded in 2013 by Owner and Managing Director Simon Bartholomew, Lexden Contracts Ltd began as a general building contractor delivering a wide range of projects including new builds, extensions, and alterations for both developers and private clients. From the outset, our vision was simple, to build strong, long-lasting relationships by placing our clients at the heart of everything we do.

Over the years, that client-focused approach has been the foundation of our continued success and steady growth.

In recent years, Lexden Contracts has evolved to operate primarily as a Main Contractor, leading projects across a variety of sectors including healthcare, education, commercial, and residential. Our portfolio now features new build developments, school refurbishments, and specialist healthcare facilities, reflecting our commitment to quality, safety, and innovation in every project we deliver.

While we continue to support our long-standing clients, our focus on larger-scale contracts has driven significant investment in our management systems, accreditations, health & safety practices, and project delivery processes.

With a strengthened Senior Management Team and a reputation for reliability and professionalism, Lexden Contracts continues to deliver projects that exceed expectations — on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.




Still true to our roots, Lexden Contracts remains a local, family-run company supported by a dynamic team of experts and specialists.

We are committed to delivering every project to the highest standards, with a focus on quality, safety, and attention to detail.
At Lexden Contracts, our clients and consultants are at the heart of everything we do — we work collaboratively to build trust, add value, and achieve the best possible outcomes.
We are passionate about what we do and driven to achieve perfect delivery on every project we undertake.

‘Dear Simon and Chris, I am writing to you to thank you for a great job renovating the Town Council Property in the Market Place. The work was carried out to the highest standard, your colleagues were civil and helpful. The budget and timescale were stringently adhered to. I was also impressed with the tidiness of the building after the work had finished. I would have no hesitation in inviting you to tender for further works for the council’.
