About Kingmoor Consulting

Company History

Kingmoor Consulting Ltd was established in 2007. Since then we have worked with clients large and small, architects, builders and home owners on new build projects and renovations.

Our home base is in Cumbria, but our expertise has no boundaries. We have worked with a range of domestic and commercial clients throughout the UK providing them with practical advice and design solutions.

Why Kingmoor? It’s the name of the ancient woodland to the north of Carlisle.  Once it was home to a horse racing course, now there’s two nature reserves. The woodland forms a boundary line between the Lowry Hill residential development and the fields to the west. Kingmoor Park enterprise zone is named after this woodland and there is a site of a former manse, Kingmoor House, alongside the Carlisle Northern Bypass. We live next to the woodland on the Lowry Hill estate and our office overlooks the woodland canopy, which changes day to day.
