Building Contractors in Looe

Ken and Peggy Wanless began the firm in 1968 under the name of KRA & PW Wanless. Under Ken’s direction the firm grew and quickly established an enviable reputation for high quality building work. Peter Kinver joined the firm in 1979 having just completed his carpentry apprenticeship; he became a successful carpenter in his own right, and then in the early 90s was invited to become a partner and manager. When Ken and Peggy retired in 1998, Peter and his wife Gill bought the firm and then later changed the name to the new trading name of Wanless PK Ltd. Peter has now retired and sold the firm to Tom and Sarah Currah. Tom started his career on the firm as a carpenter, and as been managing the firm for Peter for several years. Our workforce is made up of 14 local men, and the majority have worked for the firm for many years, some over 30 years, keeping a continuity and family feeling among the firm. When you ring the office the first person you usually speak to will be either Heather (Ken & Peggy Wanless’ daughter) the office manager or Sarah (Tom’s wife) her assistant.
