Hi, I'm Mark and we are builders based in Weymouth.
A few folk asked where the name came from, so here goes:
Building's been in our family for generations - Dad was a builder, Grandfather was an engineer and I grew up tripping over tools, plans and job sites from a young age. What started out as helping (and hindering) on weekends and school holidays turned into a career I'm proud of.
After gaining plenty of experience - and learning a few hard lessons - it became time to go out on my own and do things the way I believe they should be done: with care, honesty and attention to detail.
That's how Watson Locke came about. The name's personal - Watson was Grandfather's middle name, Locke was my Dad's, and now it's my son's. It felt like the right way to honour where I've come from and what we're building for.
We've got a simple approach: no problems, only solutions. Whether the job is straightforward or a bit outside the box, we'll figure it out and do it right.
We'll start sharing a few projects, stories and updates soon, but for now - thanks for following along and supporting something that means a lot to me and the team.
If you're thinking about a project - big or small - or just want to chat an idea through - feel free to get in touch.
Cheers,
Mark
