Kitchen fitted and loft conversion

Brian and his team are a rare find - trustworthy and reliable builders! From start to finish they approached the job with courtesy and professionalism. His son Stuart who ran the majority of the building work was approachable and very polite. Nothing was too much trouble. To follow, roofers, plasterers, plumbers and electricians came and went doing a perfect job with the minimum of fuss. Any adjustments we wanted made along the way were accommodated and fulfilled were possible. Above all else Brian always checked and verified that everything was done properly and to our satisfaction. Brian also put us in touch with a painter and a tiler who were both excellent. We felt assured that they would finish on time and on budget, which they did. We are very happy with the outcomes. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Single Storey Side Extension

Downside Builders, well what can I say, Brian and his team, started our build on 3rd Jan 2012, and every single day Mon-Fri they were ready to start work by 8am. They work extremely hard and the team Brian uses are very professional and courteous builders. The speed at these guys work is scary, I could not believe how quickly our build was done. The entire build is managed very well, so each stage seamlessly blends into another. We even had Brian arrange a kitchen fitter to start at the precise time we required it. If you need realiable builders, then Downside Builders are the team to use.

Ground floor and first floor extension

The work involved extending out and above an existing flat roof building. The whole job from drawings, obtaining planning permission and the construction itself was expertly carried out by this Company. Careful attention was paid to detail, choice of materials to match the existing, neatness of finish and work tidiness. All those involved worked well as a team and kept us informed of what was going on and of any problems or changes to work plans etc. We were very pleased with the result and would highly recommend this Company.

All work carried out expertly, efficiently and with no 'flannel'. Very happy indeed. Recommended by a family member who is similarly satisfied with far more extensive work completed recently.

Full loft conversion, incorporating an en-suite shower room

The workmanship, reliability and professionalism of Downside was very noticeable. Not only did their estimate for the conversion works come in as the most competitive, but the works started at the agreed time, were completed within the estimated completion period, and the final results have proved excellent. The total cost of the works also matched the sums originally estimated (albeit some additional instructions were given for extra works during the contract, which were billed separately, and again at the correctly agreed sums).

Loft conversion with bathroom

We would definitely recommend Downs Side Builders. The whole project was managed extremely well by Brian and ran like clockwork. The tradesmanship that has gone in to the excellent final product is second to none. But most importantly all the lads who worked on the project were really nice, polite and extremely helpful. We were dreading the mess but they all made sure that everything was as clean and tidy as possible every day when they left. We really couldn't fault them in any way. Make sure though that you have a full kettle and plenty of tea and milk on hand, although they definitely deserve every cup they have! We will definitely be using Downs Side again.
