MATTR Projects

MATTR Projects is a London-based residential main contractor specialising in the refurbishment, extension and retrofit of period homes. Founded by Alex Tinker, who holds a degree in Construction Project and Commercial Management from the University of Westminster and brings over a decade of hands-on delivery experience, MATTR works closely with architects and design teams to deliver high quality residential projects that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern building performance. The company takes a fabric first approach to construction, with a particular focus on low energy retrofit and improving the thermal performance of existing homes. MATTR has worked alongside North Architects, an AECB member and Passivhaus designer, on 2 projects in London - a completed deep retrofit of a Victorian home in East Finchley - taken back to brick and rebuilt to Passivhaus principles, with MVHR, triple glazing, ASHP, solar PV and natural insulation - and an ongoing whole-house reconfiguration of an 1876 four-storey property in Bethnal Green. Both projects have required the team to deliver to a standard that goes well beyond current Building Regulations. A Federation of Master Builders member, MATTR is committed to raising the quality and environmental performance of residential construction in London.
