About Us
Quality Endures
The communities we help grow are as important to us as the homes we build. That ethos, combined with classical design cues taken from our Victorian Heritage, help us create your forever home.
1880, A year of firsts
From the first degrees for women from the University of London, to the introduction of Greenwich mean time, and the inaugural game of test cricket… they have all became part of the fabric of British culture since 1880.
So too did the tradition of excellence and craftsmanship established by the first homes built by William Kendrick. Against a vibrant background of change and growth, he laid the foundations that we stand on to this day.
Today the fifth and sixth generations continue to guide the company from their head office in Stourbridge, West Midlands, proud to see the founder’s principles of quality craftsmanship still demonstrated in the work of Kendrick Homes.
More than new homes

Affordable Housing

Giving Back
Charity is close to our heart, it’s vital for us to make a difference in any way that we can.
Each year, we donate money to charities with a personal link to us. We donate to charities who have touched our lives at some point or due to our interests outside of work. We recognise that charities do valuable work, and our donations help them deliver essential local services and life-saving activities.
Since 2016, we’ve donated over…
to local causes
