About Us
Property development experts
Redwaters is a company built on a strong Irish heritage which goes back to 1924 and has grown to become one of the best known bespoke development companies in Manchester and the North West of England.
Why choose Redwaters?
In a nutshell because we are good at what we do. We pride ourselves on quality and creating a product you won’t find anywhere else which is why we proudly display our previous projects from the last 50 years we’ve been building. We aim to provide houses that people aspire to live in, but are also good value for money and a sound investment. But we don’t just build developments, we build relationships too. We realise we are only as good as our last project and wouldn’t be around today if it wasn’t for you. So we always, always listen to what our customers have to say and then act on it. It’s called putting you first. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Joe McCaul
Founder
After working as a Bricklayer by trade Joe set up Ashton & McCaul in 1955 to great success. Joe went on to sell the company and later set up Redwaters in 1975 where we have been delivering homes to be proud of ever since. Redwaters still building homes over 50 years later is a testament to the work ethic and morals Joe instilled into the company
Joe passed away in 2005 and is remembered fondly for his generosity, kind spirit and love of a pint of Guinness!

50 Years of building!
The story of Redwaters begins in 1975. After selling his previous company Ashton & McCaul and still only being in his 40’s! Joe was itching to get back in the game and so on February 4th 1975 he officialy incorpated Redwaters.
In 1990 his son Sean joined the company after getting experience working for some of the biggest national building companies
For a while Joe and Sean were co-directors at Redwaters working together seamlessly.
Following Joe’s passing in 2005 Sean continued to deliver incredbile developments which he has now been doing for over 35 years.
Which brings us to today, over 50 years since Joe first started the company. In the years since Redwaters has been carried on by amazing workers such as Meghan who joined in 2007 and has been with us ever since, rising to become our accounts manager.
There have been a few changes over the years such as Seans son Oliver joining the team but one ting that has never changed is our committment to delivering the best projects we can.
