Kingerlee

Founded in 1868 by Thomas Kingerlee, Kingerlee Ltd has grown over five generations to become one of Oxfordshire’s most respected and enduring main contractors. With a strong supply chain, a passion for excellence, and a legacy deeply embedded in the region’s architectural history, Kingerlee continues to shape both heritage and modern landscapes across the South East.

What sets Kingerlee apart is its ability to seamlessly blend tradition with innovation. From restoring Oxford’s historic landmarks to delivering cutting-edge developments, the business has built a reputation for quality, efficiency, and trust. Today, that legacy continues through meaningful partnerships — including recent work with the University of Oxford on early contractor involvement, demonstrating a forward-thinking approach to collaboration and project delivery.

Kingerlee’s commitment to its people, its clients, and its community is embodied in its core values: caring, family, dynamic, engaged, and teamwork. These principles guide every project, from boardroom to building site.

1. Built to Last – As a financially strong, family-run firm with a healthy project pipeline, Kingerlee is strategically positioned for sustainable growth.
2. Improving Every Day – Company-wide programmes like Build Right, Home Safe, and a robust ESG Action Plan show Kingerlee’s commitment to doing better — in quality, safety, and responsibility.
3. Investing in People – With structured training, wellbeing support, apprenticeships, and leadership development, Kingerlee nurtures talent at every level, creating career pathways and retaining expertise.
