Tony and his team built a large extension to the side of our bungalow, with a vaulted ceiling, space for kitchen, and en suite bathroom. The entire property was re-roofed with a retaining wall, path and soakaway built in the garden.

Tony and his team are good guys; reliable, hard-working, punctual, respectful, caring blokes who listen to what you want. We never had any of the 'what you want, love, is...' In Tony's terms, a job 'evolves' and that is the point, you set out with a plan and circumstances change and Tony's team work WITH that....brilliant. Tony always kept in touch, by email, by phone, by text......all the time letting us know what was going on. We left him with the keys and the work was done as we asked, cleaned up with our home in tact, not treated as a building site (which it was!) Big 'thank you' to Tony and his sons, plus Jim and Ben and the others.... we are delighted with the end result. We would have them back anytime and whole heartedly recommend them to others

Following initial contact with Tony I had a gut feeling he was the man for the job. I was right. Tony came to assess works for quote bang on time, punctuality continued throughout the job. He listened, understood requirements and made excellent alternative suggestions. Very knowledgeable in construction. Our detailed and concise estimate arrived within 2 days. His friendly and courteous team arrived when they said they would and work was carried out without drama. Tony managed to source a door to match existing which was much appreciated. We left them the house keys with no worries. Any queries were replied to and dealt with quickly - great communication. Stuck to price with NO hidden extras. Good honest friendly builders whom I would recommend to anyone. Get loads of coffee in and bake plenty of cakes!

We found Tony via Checkatrade. He quoted fastest with immaculate detail. He and his sons work hard and very professionally. We will be using him again, which says it all! He was not the cheapest price, but we found you get what you pay for!

Tony did a lovely job, my bathroom walls are transformed. The new window looks great. I will definitely use Tony again for any work on the house, and I will be recommending him to a friend who needs work doing too. His sons also did a great job of laying the floor in the sitting and dining rooms. Good work done, quickly and cleanly. He was there when he said he would be, and completed the job in good time.

Extremely pleased with works carried out for a new roof with what proved to be a very complex job in the end due to the lack of access. This did not phase any of the guys and they did not complain at any time. I would most definitely recommend as I found them to be excellent. Great communication throughout, kept to promised deadlines and very honest. Tony was considerate, helpful and very pleasant to deal with at all times. Thank you very much an excellent job well done.

When Tony carried out the initial survey I was impressed by his desire to establish exactly what we wanted the project to achieve, and for taking time to explain the technicalities and head-off any difficulties well in advance. We obtained three competitive quotes and Tony won, not purely on cost alone, but because he showed interest, knowledge and was absolutely straight with us. His quote was detailed and informative, and his outline programme accurate and adhered to. As a building project manager, I know that the only other variable was "Quality" and Tony and his sons made sure that the targets for this were spot on too. We went to work every day, handed the house over to them, and always felt they could be trusted. I feel absolutely confident in recommending Tony to everyone, (a rare treat) and I'm sure that you will find Tony, his sons, and subbies absolutely brilliant. I can't praise them enough!

We couldn't have asked for a nicer person to build our new kitchen. Tony and his team were always honest, polite, reliable, on time, hard working. In fact, it was actually a pleasure and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing some kind of building work. The finish is amazing! Not only did Tony build a fabulous extension but he also guided us in finding some great people to help finish the kitchen to the highest standard. He certainly deserves praise for everything he did and if I could I would make him so many more blueberry muffins to say thank you, thank you, thank you!
