Apollo Builders started well and work progressed, initially, at a fast pace. Very disappointed that the  worked slowed down considerably and almost came to a halt . I feel that the trader mismanaged the entire budget, generally wasteful. Many jobs left unfinished poor quality workmanship. I would not recommend this trader.

Response from Apollo Builders:
Apollo Builders set up agreement to refurbish entire property and to be paid In stages and stages to be eked by customer .In my opinion for 10 stages during the major refurbishment never once did the customer have anything negative to say about anything being done or schedule In fact had praise for extensive work and Ideas not In original guide quote. At stage 10 I employed someone who the customer had personal Issues with unknown to me at this point customer was going over budget and was brought up at weekly meetings each week for at least two weeks prior to this point. The customer one night changed the locks on the house and did not give any warning or allow me to remove my tools from the property which only had my tools Inside because I employed this person. She stated to me she did not want Apollo Builders to carry on any further and was unhappy with my decision not to dismiss this person. I stated at this meeting that I was stIll working on the street and was not running off and would do anything to help situation .I have worked In the local area for a few years now and have full support of the village and local businesses. and do not feel the customers comments are faIr.

Douglas has been converting our small bungalow over the last 6 months. It was completely gutted and we now have the equivalent of a brand new chalet bungalow, with the extension and dormers he has built - totally new wiring, plumbing, and a beautiful new kitchen. He has taken great care and thought over even the smallest detail... giving us advice on what would be the best and most economical solution.  He has rebuilt the bungalow as though it were his own and nothing has been too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Apollo builders, they have worked continuously on our property and didn't disappear off to other jobs as I've had other builders do in the past.  Although the quote was very reasonable and I was worried that they would do a shoddy job, in fact the reverse was true and the finish is excellent.

I had a simple job but it was awkward and dangerous to get to.  My boiler flue was directly underneath a down pipe that had come away from the main guttering 30 metres from ground! They managed to get a ladder up over a dangerous drop and fix the piping so it wouldn’t come away again.  All throughout the job they were friendly, cheerful, optimistic and professional. I would not hesitate to use them again.  Thank you and Merry Christmas to you both!!

What can we say; Doug gave a very acceptable estimate and completed all work within it.  He came up with excellent suggestions for some areas of the work that we had not considered (Having our front door dipped and restored to it’s original 1920’s wood finish, we had only ever seen it painted). Doug has that attitude of “everything is achievable and can therefore be done” (very refreshing).  Doug’s work was excellent, unobtrusive and every thing was cleared and tidied away at the end of each day. The working day was never completed until Doug had finished the task in hand, he is a real completer finisher.  We can’t recommend him and his work highly enough and would use him for any future work on our house. A big thank you Doug for restoring our house to it’s former glory.
