Eddie would always turn up when he said the would and gave a good standard of workmanship.  He was very helpful with hints on what could be done on the project to improve on our original plan to either improve or make better value. I would be happy to recommend them.

We have used EPV Building on several occasions and found them very helpful.  Especially when we were broken into and they came out in the middle of the night to fix it. I would be happy to recommend them.

Front extension to house

This front extension was built quickly, effeciently and finnished to a high standard, incorporating our ideas such as a wonderful internal archway that links the new build with our existing building. Many thanks again to Edd and his hard working team. We are very pleased with the work.

Refurbishment of kitchen, stairs and landing

Overall we are pleased with the work that Edd and the team put in and the finished article. It could have been slightly better with some respects by clear articulation of what was required by ourselves or knowing what Edd would be doing that day in more detail. We are happy with the outcome.

Two storey extension, garage below, bed and bathroom above

Eddie and his team took on a fairly substantial two storey extension for us creating a large double garage and bedroom with ensuite above. A fairly considerable job by any standards, work progressed at a fantastic rate and was always left secure and tidy. A good standard of finishes with doors/windows throughout and a large hand cut roof with sturdy sized timbers over normal was built. Upon completion we had Eddie carry out landscaping and create a new driveway for us, all done to a good standard and on budget.

Replacement of various doors and windows

Having just moved into a house not touched for 30 years, I obviously have a lot of work ahead of me. I was looking for a local builder to carry out some initial works to improve security and aesthetics of the house. Mr Veck couldn't come recommended enough and a quick search on check a trade suggested he was right for me. Eddie initially replaced rotten windows and doors around the house with incredibly good quality upvc items and more recently we have had Eddie chop out two window openings to fit two pairs of patio doors. He is always punctual, always courteous and incredibly tidy both through work and upon completion. I have no hesitation at continuing to use Eddie when ever possible, he has some great ideas and is always flexible enough to fit in around my shift patterns.

Single storey rear extension and garage conversion

Edd was very helpful and made some really good suggestions throughout the project. His ideas helped us keep the costs down and we are so pleased with our new look house. Edd was in touch throughout and went out of his way to help with issues even those that fell outside of the contract. All the contractors were friendly, polite and trustworthy which was reassuring. The second part of the build was done quickly with Edd fitting us in between other work, as agreed. At the end of the project up to planning sign off Edd has been available to deal with final snagging points. We are really grateful to Edd that our house now has the wow factor we were looking for.

Repairs to window shed and fence

After the severe weather Friday night our shed had lost it's roof and damaged the fence and window. Eddie sent one of his lads round (because he was in France) on Saturday morning. We presumed he was just going to do a temporary weekend fix but in spite of the weather he managed to find and fit another double glazed unit, re-roofed the shed and fully repaired the fence. Eddie insisted it was done to help us out and I should just give the tradesman a "drink". Thank you Eddie.

Installation of down stairs toilet and sink in garage

Not turning up on the days promised and in my opinion the standard of some of work was poor and the cleaning up and protection of property was none existent. Also left all waste material behind
Customer in Eastleigh, 12 April 2011
Response from EPV Building:
This customer was advised we could not do the works until November 2010; however they were happy for us to do odd days to get the work completed for them. As always dust sheets and plastic covering was used and the works were carried out professionally. I did ask for an independent builder to inspect the work carried out but this was refused. This customer also had a reduction in cost as they were reluctant to pay.

Refurbishment of existing single storey extension, including new roof

We're really pleased with the finished product. The cost was more than quoted due to unexpected issues in the refurbishment and change of requirements. Very courteous, polite and professional. Plasterers did a fantastic job and kept the place clean. EPV were accommodating and fitted us in between jobs, with the weather, it meant a 3 weeks lasted about 7 weeks. However, they had stressed up front that we would be fitted in and around jobs, so the elapsed time could be longer. They kept us informed.
