    Fantastic experience all round

    Keith and his team came in to replace our internal doors and insulate a built in wardrobe and did a fantastic job. Not only the doors were fitted very well, but he guided us through the selection process, and at the same time helped us with other bits and bobs around the house. They've been incredibly pleasant to be around too and communicative about any unexpected issues that cropped up that nobody could have known about, which were also sorted expertly.

    Re-tiling roof, convert 2 lounges into 1 and upgrading lighting

    This is the 3rd time we've used Keith and each time we've been really impressed. The whole team work really hard and to high standards. They turn up when they say they will, leave the site tidy and are considerate. Keith responded quickly to emails. Keith came up with some great ideas which we used such as suggesting improvements to our lounge and the type of internal wood bi-fold doors which they installed. Inevitably with a large project there were some changes to plan but Keith and team handled these all really well and professionally. Very highly recommended.

    Highly recommend

    Keith and his team completed the work of our downstairs toilet. After being let down by previous builders, it was lovely to have builders we could trust and were reliable. Lewis was on the job start to finish, arriving promptly every morning. He worked conscientiously throughout his time on the job and was very polite. We are so pleased with the finished work which included a shower and installation of a water softener. Wish we had approached Building Foundations from the start. Would highly recommend.

    Kitchen Extension Single Story

    We have used Keith and his team for the 2nd time for a single story kitchen extension. During the process, we found the team to be exceptionally precise, punctual, reliable & trustworthy. Everything was carried out to spec & any changes required were consulted with prior to any work taking place. All work has been completed to a high standard & careful consideration was taken throughout particularly leaving me with running water everyday! Keith & his team have delivered us our dream kitchen & we would highly recommend Building Foundation Ltd for all future work no matter how big or small!

    Happy Customer for a Second Time

    This is the 2nd time we’ve used Keith & his team — this time for a slightly smaller project: insulating & boarding out our loft, as well as updating our bathroom. As before, communication was excellent & the attention to detail was outstanding. The team put real thought into how we planned to use the loft, adjusting the size and ladder direction to suit our needs perfectly. They also made sure I was happy with every aspect of the bathroom. Once again, the work was completed on time, within budget, & with minimal disruption to our daily lives. We’re very pleased customers - again. Thank you!

    Excellent job on double height extension, bathroom, porch, staircases, hall & lounge

    Building Foundation did several big projects for us from August 2024 to August 2025, including a double height side extension (including golf room and gym), new bathroom, new staircases, refurbished porch, hall and lounge. Hardworking, tidy & courteous, the team were a pleasure to work with and finished everything to match even my husband's high standards. We were particularly pleased with the hidden doors, panelling, lighting, bespoke stairs and bathroom finish. Highly recommend. Karen
