About Us
Homelodge Buildings Ltd was founded in 1986 by Peter Bolger and his wife Sue. Their son, Felix Bolger, took over the family business in 2004, having worked alongside his father since 1991.
Our History
Since our inception, Homelodge has been at the forefront of building innovation, developing, manufacturing, and installing a wide range of building systems, from school classrooms to premium granny annexes.
As a well-established family-run business, Homelodge provides a personable, client-focused experience, combining a tight-knit team of professionals with the capacity to manage fast-paced, complex projects. We focus on steady, sustainable growth, carefully managing demand to ensure we never overtrade and always maintain the highest standards of service and product quality.
With increasing commercial enquiries, we now have a dedicated sister company, Kingswell Buildings, for commercial projects.

At Homelodge, we focus on bespoke, tailored annexe options from start to finish. All annexes are premium quality, manufactured in our British-based factory, and installed on-site to create welcoming, functional living spaces. Our range of sizes and styles ensures a cosy and practical environment for every client.
