Kitchen and Cloakroom Extension
I contacted them for a quotation and from the moment I met Stephen I really wanted their price to be competitive. Right from the outset they have been approachable and professional. As someone who likes to know what is happening and how it works, I found that everyone engaged in this work was polite and ready to answer any questions I had. The end product is better than I could have imagined and is a wonderful enhancement to my home. They have made what could have been a very stressful time very easy. I would certainly recommend them and would use them for any future work I may have.

Thank you again I really do love the finished product and enjoy spending time in it. I have absolutely no regrets in having the work done or in you doing the work.

New sun room build
This is the first time I have employed a builder who made me feel like the client.
Everything was explained to me and every question answered clearly without the use of jargon. The workmen were respectful of my home and my family, always leaving the work space clean and useable wherever possible.
The work was co-ordinated so if I was told someone would arrive, e.g. the electrician, then that workman arrived. The only hiccup was the weather and I guess that was down to forces beyond the builders control. All work was completed to the highest standard. I am absolutely delighted with my new sun room, just the ticket. I would have no hesitation recommending this company. If you want a terrific job done, to the highest standard, book these guys.
Many thanks for all the hard work creating my lovely new room. It’s the perfect place to have a nice cold G and T.

Rendered porch
We have built a porch with County Durham Building company. They did very good job. The whole process was very well organised, the dead line met timely. Stephen, the main contact, who arranged all contractors is a very hard working, dedicated person who is a pleasure to deal with. Minor issues were rectified, the job completed in time. We are very pleased with the results.

They recently finished a complete refurbishment and update of my bungalow, with walls and doors moved, new kitchen, new bathroom, new windows etc. They were very professional throughout, thoroughly reliable and the quality of the work is excellent. I was consulted on any problems or concerns that arose so I always knew what was happening. I would definitely use them again.

Renovation
This company were fantastic, very professional, from the very start. A company that got back to me immediately to arrange a visit for a quote and provided a written quote that we didn’t have to chase! Amazingly clean and tidy taking into account safety for children (even whilst having a wall removed) with Stephen ensuring work was done to a high standard. Extremely good prep to protect our carpets, reduce mess and dust by sealing and covering everything prior to work commencing. Clear written quote and contract from the outset with no hidden costs – clear what was materials, labour etc. Excellent prompt communication by email telephone and in person and Stephen took the time to explain everything with regards the process including staged invoices. We were so happy with the standard of the work done we recommended this company immediately to friends and would not hesitate to do so again. Our house is transformed!

Commercial Build
Stephen listened to my needs when I was looking to open a rehearsal studio and then quickly came back to me, not only with an incredible price, but advised me about ways in which they could modify the build to still meet the criteria required and save me a substantial amount of money.
By utilising their advice and skills I would say I got a better build than I had originally planned and saved over £3000 against other quotes. They sourced the best materials for the job and their tradesmen were excellent. I could concentrate on setting up my new business and leave all the worry of the studio build to them.
The work was to top spec and, very importantly, on time for my opening date. Communication was perfect at all stages – from initial meeting at the premises to the present day, long after the build was finished – this is the aftercare I wish I could receive from all companies.
I recommend this company to anyone.
