About KOT Building Contractors
Welcome to KOT Building Contractors, formerly known as The King of Trades Ltd. Since our inception in 2015, we have been committed to delivering exceptional construction and shopfitting solutions across the Southwest of England and beyond. Our journey is a testament to our dedication, expertise, and passion for building spaces that inspire.
Our Founder: Gavin King
KOT Building Contractors was founded by Gavin King, a skilled carpenter with a vision for excellence. Starting his career in the construction industry, Gavin honed his craft and gained invaluable experience before deciding to embark on his entrepreneurial journey. In 2015, he left his previous company to establish The King of Trades Ltd, laying the foundation for what would become a trusted name in the construction sector.


From Carpentry to Comprehensive Construction
Initially, The King of Trades focused on small local carpentry projects, catering to the immediate needs of our community. However, Gavin’s ambition and commitment to quality quickly propelled the company into undertaking turnkey construction projects. We expanded our services to include kitchen and home refurbishments, as well as shopfitting for small local businesses, allowing us to serve a broader clientele with diverse requirements.
Expanding Horizons
Nearly a decade on, KOT Building Contractors has successfully managed projects across Cornwall, London, Kent, Bristol, and the entire South West of England. Our portfolio showcases a variety of projects, each reflecting our ability to adapt and excel in different environments. Notable projects include:
