Exterior painting

Didn’t provide a quote in writing as asked.  Charged £750 for 4 to 5 hours of work.  Farmed me off with two piece of sill of differing length, not a whole one piece sill.  Put considerable pressure on me to pay in full or in part in cash.

Replace broken first floor exterior windowsill

Murray and his team were excellent.  The construction of the concrete slab for the summerhouse was done expertly and professionally and they provided all equipment necessary for the job.  All my questions were answered and nothing was too much trouble.  They left the premises, as they found it, clean and tidy.  I have no complaints and would highly recommend this firm.

Concrete slab for Summerhouse

So very pleased we found Murray and Luke.  We had been looking for a while to find a reputable builder to mend our chimney and Checkatrade didn't disappoint.  We were extremely pleased with the excellent workmanship and attention to detail that Driffil builders provides.  They are very courteous, friendly and easy to communicate with.  I would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again for my next project.  Ten out of ten.?????

Rendering chimney and replacing lead flashing

Very good communication and job completed quickly.

Replacing render and sorting water ingress, internal plastering

While dealing with TCR we patiently adjusted to their schedule, politely communicated, and fully paid on time.  Unfortunately, problems resulted directly from their workmanship.  Necessary rework was discussed and agreed upon with them, but communication from the contractor ceased after we made final payment.  So, we had to find trade specialists for correction of the problems (an extra expense of nearly 10K GBP).  Especially considering TCR'S rapid retreat upon receipt of our final payment and failure to honor a satisfactory work guarantee, we strongly advise others against using this contractor.

Renovation Work

We needed a second bathroom built to support the needs of our children with autism.  This needed to be done with very short notice and within 2 weeks.  Jason and his team worked relentlessly every evening to get this job done in time for our family.  The guys were efficient, friendly and very professional.  The bathroom is perfect and extremely good value for money.  We have a few more jobs that need doing in the new year so will definitely be booking with Total Construction and Renovation again and would highly recommend this amazing team.

Dining room converted into a bathroom

Total construction and renovation own a sister company, total plumbing and heating.  I found them through another trade site, they responded quickly, politely and turned up exactly when they said they would.  They sorted it promptly, and even future proofed it for us.  Highly recommend these amazing people, quality workmanship and fair pricing.

Tap replacement

Gave total construction a call last week as I was in desperate need of my floor levelling, They warned me that they were extremely busy but would fit me in if possible.  Ended up managing to come late evening as I was really desperate which I massively appreciated and completed the job to a top quality standard.  Would definitely recommend to anyone and will use again where needed!  Thank you

Excellent Job on my Floor

The work was carried out quickly and professionally.  Also the two guys who did it were extremely pleasant and chatty.  They cleaned up meticulously.  I picked them from my check a trade leaflet and would use them again if I needed further work done in my home.

After completion, there was a water leak from the shower tray resulting in water ingress/flooding under the new bathroom floor and the existing laminate floor in the main room and the kitchen.  Over the summer/autumn it was agreed to have a new floor put in under the contractor's insurance.  But since then the contractor is not responding to my mails and the damaged floor has still not been replaced.

Complete update of bathroom

Work completed on time, but with a water leak from the shower tray which leaked out under the new vinyl floor and the adjacent rooms laminate floor resulting in damages to the laminate floor in the kitchen and the main room.  The leak was identified and stopped but the damaged hard vinyl (damage unknown) and laminate floor is still to be replaced by the builder.

Complete upgrade

Communication just stopped.  No reply to emails, texts or phones.  Many excuses made to delay start date, then nothing.  Quote accepted in Feb.  I even asked that if there was a problem then to just let us know, jnstead he just left us hanging!!!!!  Dreadful way to conduct a business.  Seems I am not the only victim according to reviews on FB page!!!!!!!  Dissapointed does not even come close

Let down

Daryn’s team were great, they fitted us in before Christmas when no one else could and did a fabulous job.  Any problems I found after completion were sorted out straight away without any issue.  I’m left with a beautiful kitchen at a very reasonable price for the work.

Fit new kitchen

Very happy with the work from TD as always

Refitting downstairs toilet

Daryn and his team did a great job on our bathroom.  They wer epolite and didn't leave any mess, and were able to adapt to how the work panned out.  It took longer than expected but this is mainly due to covid-related issues out of his control.

Remove old bathroom, skim walls, fit new suite, lights, fan etc.

Brick Builds

Working with Ben and his team on a recent refurbishment project was a pleasure. They demonstrated a strong work ethic, professionalism, and attention to detail. The renovation was handled efficiently and meticulously, with no errors. They worked quickly without compromising quality and found effective solutions to emergent issues. The team had a great attitude and worked well together, making the process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Ben and his team for their exceptional property development services. Thank you for your outstanding work and professionalism.

Full house renovation

Ben and team were fantastic.  All the way through the process the came to quote when they said they would, carried out the job when they said and even this morning due to no fault of their own called to say they would be 15 minutes late.  The work was well priced and very good quality.  Explained throughout why they were doing it and checked I was happy how it was completed.  Clean, tidy and on time top work guys.  I would recommend.

Fixing blockwork, rendering and internal plastering

We had a great experience with Brick Builds.  As soon as they arrived, the guys got to work preparing the area and making sure the surrounding area was protected.  The work looks great and it was finished in the same day, and Ben did a great job of tidying up afterwards and talking us through what had been done and explaining the best options for painting later on.  Thanks guys, for a great experience ????

Bricking up an external door

Mid 2021 we were very fortunate to secure Ben to project manage the hard landscaping for our newly completed barn conversion, plus resolve any shortfalls of our previous builder.  Ben understood our vision and through his excellent leadership skills he effectively communicated what needed to be done, ensured the work was delivered on time, to budget and with quality…an absolute pleasure to work with.

Landscaping Assignment

Ben did a great job which makes me always happy to look at.  He also is very nice company and polite which is always a bonus!!!
