Building works.
Frosty's have done work inside and outside my house. They are versatile, reliable and enthusiastic. They helped me decide what I needed and did a great job throughout. No job was too complicated for them. I would be happy to recommend them.

Single storey ground floor kitchen-diner extension

We were delighted to have found Frosty' s and we were very pleased at their approach, manner and professionalism. A great job very well done. Initial site and verbal quote offered which was backed up by written estimate which was further updated with a detailed quote when the plans were all agreed. Particularly liked the way that they worked as a team and provided the best solutions to queries which inevitably arose. Would happily recommend Mike and his team to anyone.

Reigate - Single story extension with roof terrace, external and internal works and landscaping

We appointed Frosty’s to carry out extensive work on our property including the erection of a large single story extension with roof terrace, the creation of a large internal living space with the removal of external and internal walls, alterations to the hallway, rendering and painting of the exterior front and rear of the property, installation of a new front door and extensive landscaping to the rear. In mid-2010 we contacted six local building companies for quotations. Michael Frost’s approach was by far the most professional and their quotation was the most detailed and accurate. Our project had many challenges, including deep excavations, elaborate ironwork and the installation of large sliding glass door panels purchased from Sweden. Michael and his team adapted to the challenges with a patient and professionally attitude, even when things did not go according to plan. At one point during the snow of December 2010, Michael and his team carried their tools almost a mile on foot and worked for several days in sub-zero temperatures to completed the installation of steelwork, which would have been difficult enough in normal conditions! The quality of Frosty’s work is excellent and the Frosty’s team are a hard-working and friendly bunch. They are tidy, conscientious and respectful. Michael in particular is diligent and quality-conscious and it is clear that he takes pride in his work and the reputation of his team. Although the project scope grew over time, Michael always discussed additions with us before committing us to additional cost. The original quotation was honoured through to completion and there were no unexpected extras. Frosty’s was not the cheapest quotation we received but I am convinced they provided us with the best possible value for money given the commitment shown to the project, their reliability and the overall quality of the finished project.

Extension

Although very well recommended, we seemed to have difficulties from the start with running over schedule. We felt that this was due to another job they were running which was taking the traders focus. Unfortunately, they left our project in its early stages (at damp proof course) with no notice, with the inconvenience of needing to find another builder.
Customer in Redhill, 1 June 2011
Response from Frosty's Building Contractors:
In my opinion the project ran over schedule due to an inexperienced architect who continued to revise plans weekly altering measurements and materials. There was also the unforeseen problem of having to break up previously laid concrete (which I agreed to dig out Free of Charge!) before we could even commence the scheduled work. We always carry out more than one project at a time and this has never been an issue for any of my other clients in the past. I felt that my workforce were continually being patronised and spoken to in a rude manner by the customer and their architect and brought this to their attention long before leaving site. The customer did not keep to the contract regarding payment terms. Before leaving site I handed over a letter explaining my concerns and offered to continue work but I was not asked to return.

Removal of internal wall and fitting of new open plan kitchen

Would happily recommend Frosty' s Building Contractors. We are very pleased with our new kitchen. Although we ended up paying more for work in the end, this was due to problems which were discovered during the process and the choices we made to have them resolved. We were kept well informed before decisions were made. All the guys were friendly and were clean and tidy in their work.

Landscaping: front garden path, back garden patio.

Frosty's task was to replace our front garden path and create a large patio area in the back garden.  The latter entailed an enormous amount of ground clearance before the patio could be laid. All employees and contractors were hard working and conscientious, very courteous at all times and kept the area tidy.  The final results are spectacular as is the infamous rustic garden bench. Special thanks go to Michael and Lee for their vision which enhanced our original ideas.

Two bathroom renovations

Excellent finish - we could use the bathrooms as soon as they left. They were able to adapt as issues arose regarding previous badly completed work and all the workmen were polite, friendly and efficient.

New front and rear porches, new cloakroom, structural changes to lounge/hall, kitchen re-built and totally re-fitted, etc

Selected from 3 builders for detail of quotation, value and committing to schedule and cleanliness.  The work, starting mid-January and ending mid-May, has been at the core of the household. Excellent communication about what and when, workforce scheduling and activities pre-advised, Sub-contractors well managed. Mess and inconvenience kept to minimum by daily cleaning and control. Discussed and agreed variations through the job, and at the end we know the changes to the quote. Excellent quality of workmanship, and helpful suggestions to the detail on the way. Happy to allow potential clients visit and look at the wide range of work involved in our house.

Renovation of hall and creation of guest bedroom and en-suite.

We were delighted with Michael and his team's work.  They were a pleasure to have on site and nothing was too much trouble. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail was excellent and we are thrilled with the end result. The costing was exactly as expected from the original quote. We would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them.
