Whirligig Building Services was founded by Darryl Turk, a highly experienced construction professional whose career spans over two decades and multiple industries. Before focusing exclusively on residential building work in East Sussex, Darryl built a strong foundation in project planning and management across commercial, industrial and civil sectors — giving him a breadth of knowledge that few local builders can match.
That experience translates directly into how Whirligig operates today. Every project — whether a kitchen extension in Hastings or a loft conversion in Bexhill — is approached with the same rigorous planning, clear communication and professional discipline that Darryl brought to much larger projects throughout his career. You benefit from big-project expertise delivered with the personal attention of a local, family-run business.
Two decades of building and project management experience across multiple industries, brought to bear on every residential and commercial project we take on in Hastings, Bexhill and East Sussex.
Darryl's project planning background spans commercial, industrial and residential sectors. That diversity of experience means he anticipates problems before they arise and finds solutions that keep your project on track.

We live and work in East Sussex. We know the local area, the local planning authorities, and the specific challenges that come with building in Hastings and Bexhill — from coastal weather to period properties.

Darryl is personally involved in every project from initial consultation through to final sign-off. You're never passed between departments or left dealing with someone who doesn't know your job.
We believe the best building projects happen when client and builder work together as partners, not just contractor and customer. From the very first conversation, we listen carefully to understand what you want to achieve — and then apply our expertise to help you get there. Your home, your vision, our craft.
We know that cost is one of the biggest concerns for any building project. We're upfront about pricing from the start — no vague estimates, no surprise invoices halfway through. We work with your budget realistically, tell you what's achievable within it, and flag any changes before they happen.
Quality isn't something we add at the end — it's built into every stage of the process. From the accuracy of our groundwork to the finish of our plastering, we hold ourselves to a high standard on every job, whether it's a full house extension or a single-room repair in Hastings or Bexhill.
Our team are experienced, reliable and genuinely proud of the work they do. We turn up when we say we will, keep your home tidy throughout, treat your property with respect, and leave you with a finish you'll be happy to show off. Building work can be disruptive — we do everything we can to make it as smooth as possible.
Every homeowner in Hastings, Bexhill-on-Sea or East Sussex who chooses Whirligig Building Services can expect the same things: clear communication, quality workmanship, fair pricing and a team that genuinely cares about getting it right.
We visit every project in person and provide a written quote that breaks down costs clearly. No guesswork, no vague ballparks — just honest numbers so you can make an informed decision.
We carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance on every project. You can commission work with complete confidence that your property and interests are protected throughout.

All our work is carried out to current building regulations standards. We manage the full compliance process on relevant projects, so you receive the documentation you need when the time comes to sell.

We respect that we're working in your home. Our team clears up at the end of every working day, protects flooring and furnishings, and leaves your property in the best possible condition throughout the project.
