Baltonsborough-based LJC Design & Build has won a £300,000 contract to renovate the Savoy Apartments in London after Steve Carter took over the family business.

A Baltonsborough building firm has landed a £300,000 contract to renovate apartments at one of London's most famous hotels.

LJC Design & Build, founded in 1993, will carry out work at the Savoy Apartments on the Strand after Steve Carter stepped in to keep the business going following the death of his father Len in 2023.

What could have been the end of the company became a new chapter for the family-run firm.

Steve, an electrician, took on the challenge after Len died unexpectedly of a heart attack. He began setting off at 4 am to commute to London and keep work moving, determined that the business would survive.

He said: "We didn't want the firm to go when dad died, because he'd have wanted to look after the guys, who've been with him for decades."

The Baltonsborough-based company has a core team of five specialists and brings in other trades when needed.

It has already completed a range of projects, including the conversion of a former nursing home in Bridgwater into residential flats. The firm also helped set up Fox & Vamp, a high-end beauty boutique in Chelsea.

Now the Savoy contract marks another big milestone for the Somerset business as it continues to build on the legacy Len Carter left behind.

London property developer Laurie Oppeniem, who has used LJC on several jobs, praised the team's work.

He said: "Steve's team make everything look easy. They have now done several home projects for me, and I cannot recommend them more highly."
