Extension to kitchen.
Completed on time and at the price quoted.  We found their service excellent and they were a pleasure to deal with. I would be happy to recommend them.
Customer in Tadley, 3 December 2009
Darren and Gil were a joy to have on site. Punctual, tidy, good communicators.  Work completed on time and to a high standard. Our extension was complicated because we had a lantern fitted and this was done beautifully.

Leaking Roof to House

Darren and his team called approx 30mins before they arrived on site ensuring it was ok to arrive as it was just before 08:00. Much to my surprise they were up the ladder and started on the job removing tiles and stripping the roof back to the joists straight away. Unlike previous builders that ive known that have to have tea and fag before the ladder comes out.. They were polite and hard working despite being cold and wet. Excellent and well pleased with the job done

Two storey side extension with a single storey extension to rear

When looking for a builder to complete our work we were very nervous of how to go about looking after watching many of the horror stories of other peoples experiences on TV. However, for us this this could not have been more different. We have been lucky to find a team in DW Builders that have given us the exceptional finish to our home that we dreamt of. Darren and one his employees Matt are a credit to the building trade. Not only did they finish the job on schedule but they arrived each day when they said they would and left once they had completed the daily schedule as laid out in our contract (even staying until 11pm one evening when the fixing of a steel had not gone to plan!) This I believe is over and above their duty but shows the professionalism of DW Builders. They were polite and courteous and would put most cleaning companies to shame with their cleanliness and at times I had to pinch myself to remember we were living in a building site!! We would highly recommend them to anyone taking on a building project. May we take this opportunity to thank Darren and his team for their hard work and for our fantastic finished home.

Single storey kitchen extension and room refurbishment

We can thoroughly recommend DW Builders. Darren is friendly, professional, reliable, trustworthy and honest. Darren built our ground floor kitchen extension with which we are really pleased. All of Darren's team were equally professional. The quote was competitive and Darren didn't mind us changing things, for example, using our own plumber for various bits. Where we hit unexpected problems, Darren explained the issue and how the problems could be resolved. Darren takes pride in the quality of the finished job and doesn't like to cut corners. He is possibly the tidiest builder ever - the way the skips were filled fascinated the whole street! We will use DW Builders again for other jobs in the future.

Single storey front and side extension; kitchen skylights

We were very pleased with the service provided by Darren, Matt and all of their sub-contractors. The work was finished ahead of schedule and to a high standard, and all for a very fair price. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Single story garage extension and work to flat roof.

From day one, I have been impressed with the work ethic of Darren, his employee and the various sub contractors engaged on this project. The work has been completed at the estimated quote level and to a standard, I was hoping for. I am not disappointed. It is testament to say that I have engaged Darren to carry out further work. Which must be the best recommendation.

Removing old extension and building a new one

I have had a lot of experience with builders over the years and can simply say that Darren and his team are the best. The quote was extremely good and the work was finished on time, on budget and to such a high standard. I nearly didn't use Darren because of having to wait before he could start, but am so glad I did - well worth waiting for. In fact I have asked him to give me a quote for turning a downstairs cupboard into a cloakroom and now wouldn't use any other builder.

Reconfigured ground floor room layout

If you are like me and have been putting off a building project because you are worried about being able to find a quality, reliable builder then delay no more. I found Darren and everyone he engaged in the project to be polite, professional and committed to delivering a quality result. The work was completed on time and at a price that I consider to be great value for money. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending DW Builders and will certainly be contacting them again for any further building work in the future.

We would definitely use this company again as they were friendly and efficient as well as doing our extension to a high standard. They were also flexible to our changing specifications.

Tiles on church roof, guttering and down pipe, hinges to trap door

Varies jobs needed doing, which had to be carried out sensitively to our church, which were all done with great care. The door and the lychgate were rubbed down and treated and brought back to their former glory. Would always ask them back
