At Alder Homes Ltd, building homes isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.
Our story begins with Tim Alder, a true craftsman who grew up surrounded by the tools, plans, and passion of the construction industry.
Raised in a family of builders, Tim developed a love for creating things that last—a passion that has driven him throughout his career.
