about me

I'm Edward Johnson, Director of Homelea Building Services, and the third generation in a proud family of builders. My passion for construction started early, with my grandfather, the first to enter the trade. One of my earliest memories is helping him pour a concrete foundation, stood beside him in my wellies, completely absorbed in the work. Even now, he enjoys “supervising” me when he gets the chance.

In 1997, my father established Homelea Building Services, continuing the family tradition. Watching him grow the business inspired me to follow in his footsteps. My uncle also became a key part of the team, and together they built a reputation for quality and reliability across Yorkshire.

By the time I left school, I had no doubt about my path. I began a bricklaying apprenticeship straight away, eager to contribute to the family business. I went on to earn my NVQ Level 3 qualification in bricklaying, and with over a decade of personal experience and more than 100 years of combined family expertise, I now proudly lead Homelea Building Services into its next chapter.

I take great pride in delivering work that’s precise, clean, and built to last. What drives me is a clear vision of the finished result, and the satisfaction that comes when every detail is exactly right. There’s nothing better than driving past a past project and knowing it’s a lasting part of our legacy.

Having grown up in the local area, I also have a strong appreciation for the beauty and integrity of traditional craftsmanship. The enduring quality of older buildings influences every decision I make from design and layout to selecting the right materials and finishes.

At Homelea Building Services, we’re committed to thoughtful, future-proof construction, built with pride, care, and a standard that’s stood the test of time for three generations.
