In these days of rapid change, it is fashionable to extol the virtues of everything new, but in some areas there really is no substitute for experience, accumulated over many years and proven by time.

Rajkowski have a reputation in quality that goes back 100 years.

It was in 1911 that Joseph Rajkowski started his building company in the small Polish town of Grudzonz. Here the company flourished until the outbreak of war in 1939. The business that he had built up over the years was immediately lost, but the skills remained, and after the War the Rajkowski company was restarted with even greater success.

In 1960 Alec Rajkowski moved the Rajkowski company to the UK, where it quickly gained a strong foothold, again the key attributes of care and attention to detail ensured widespread praise.

In 1977 Alec handed over the day-to-day running of the company to his son Alf, whose passion for creative design was a breath of fresh air compared to other builders (and often architects) bland designs.

Alf still runs the Rajkowski company, and has recently been joined by his son Richard.
