What Keepmoat does

Keepmoat is a UK Top 10 housebuilder operating across Yorkshire, the Midlands, the North East, the North West, Scotland, and the South & South West, headquartered in Doncaster. The company constructs 2, 3, and 4-bedroom houses and apartments, using modern methods of construction (MMC) including timber framing on selected developments, and operates the UK's first Future Homes Standard pilot at Gedling Green (33 homes achieving a 91% carbon reduction). Over 90 years Keepmoat has built more than 35,000 homes and holds 5-star Home Builders Federation builder status with a Trustpilot 'Excellent' rating.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time home sales to individual buyers via on-site sales offices at developments, supplemented by multiple buying-assistance schemes (Easymove, Part Exchange, Shared Ownership, Deposit Unlock, Help to Buy Wales, Showhome Leaseback). A secondary institutional channel delivers affordable and social housing through joint ventures and partnerships with housing associations (Bromford, Kingdom Housing Association, Great Places Housing Group) and UK local authorities (Sheffield, Manchester, Calderdale, Leicester, Walsall, West Midlands Combined Authority, South Lanarkshire), often co-funded by Homes England. Keepmoat reported £764m of revenue for the year ending October 2024 (down 12% year-on-year), pre-tax profit of £54m (down 35%), and 3,516 completions, against a forward pipeline of over 24,400 plots.

The company sells direct to consumers and through partnership allocations, with no public listing, no disclosed private equity or venture backing, and no parent company identified. Keepmoat has ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, NHBC warranty coverage, and ROSPA Gold Health & Safety status (2023). Its most significant recent strategic actions include the £26m Manchester Openshaw approval, the £50m+ North Halifax regeneration with Calderdale Council, the creation of a dedicated West of England regional arm in Bristol, and two flagship multi-year partnerships: a 4,000-home West Midlands Combined Authority programme and a 3,000-home Northstowe new-town agreement with Homes England and Capital&Centric.
