quality design & build since 1997
From The
Welcome to SB Homes. We’re a family owned and run housebuilding company based in the Colne Valley, Huddersfield.
For almost 30 years, we’ve designed and built more than 500 homes that people are proud to live in. Our homes have unique designs that suit the Colne Valley, whilst preserving traditional elevations, so whether we built a home in 2000 or 2025, we can look back at every site, knowing that we did it justice.
To us, it’s personal
From Our Family, To Yours
We’re a family business with deep roots in the Colne Valley. Not only do we live and work here, but 200 years of our ancestors are from here.
There are few people who care about the area as deeply as we do, and we’re proud to run a company that provides exceptional homes, creates employment opportunities, improves the area, and gives back to the economy.

We’re excited to announce our latest site acquisition on Clough Road – the former Clough Mills. Located just a stone’s throw from the village centre and overlooking the iconic viaduct, this unique setting will soon be home to a collection of thoughtfully designed family homes. With planning permission to be submitted shortly, we’re looking forward to bringing new life to this historic site, combining village charm with modern living.

“On meeting Steve in 1998, I still remember my first impression. Work boots and work clothes, dirty grufted hands. He had a plan and a head full of ideas about how to move his building company forward. It was the start of a great working relationship and friendship.”
HOUSEBUILDING RUNS THROUGH
HIS VEINS
SB Homes all started with our founder, Stephen.
He started dry stone walling aged 10.
He’s built everything from septic tanks (hundreds of them, in fact) to chalets in France.
Today, he’s a master at his craft, and is trusted by professionals and industry bodies for his expertise.
Now with a team of 35+, he still leads the business from the front, almost 30 years since inception.

Old Bank Works, a former joiner’s workshop, was completed in 2019. The mixture of contemporary cladding and traditional stone offers a unique finish. We love how the property looks as good today as the day it was finished.
