A FAMILY BUSINESS, ROOTED IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Built on a lifetime around horses and the land

Our story

SK Buildings is a family business run by S & K Kerslake, with backgrounds firmly rooted in equestrianism and the countryside. We’ve always lived in the West Country, ridden all our lives, and our family roots in farming go back generations.

For over 30 years we’ve run one of the largest specialist equestrian and smallholding businesses in the South West, so we understand yards, horses and the day-to-day reality of keeping them. Alongside that, we bring more than 15 years of experience project-managing and designing a wide range of equestrian and agricultural buildings.

We also understand farming and the pressures of the modern farming world, and how a well-designed building can make life easier. In recent years we’ve helped clients get more from their projects with additions like rainwater harvesting and solar.

What that means for you

When you work with us, you’re drawing on decades of hands-on experience from people who’ve lived it, not a catalogue and a sales target. We know what works in practice, what to avoid, and how to make a building genuinely fit for purpose. And because we’re independent, the advice we give is honest and in your interest.
