  Replace damaged kitchen ceiling

  As soon as we met David we knew that we could work with him. All dates were met and work was carried out expediently and very professionally. In practise the kitchen was cleaner after the work was completed than before.

  2 storey rear extension, side extension and alterations

  Hired David based on reviews.First day David informed that Joseph would be working and he would oversee! Shell built quickly but everything went downhill after that.Joseph has neither experience nor knowlede/skill and there were multiple instances of rework(BRegs unhappy).Money was paid as agreed but progress was painfully slow as either nobody turned up at work nor working the full day.By the 9th month, entire money of the initial quote was paid but majority of internal work pending.Electric,plumbing first fix started in April and yet not done.Stressed,incurred loss and fired Joseph

  Replaster ceilings and downlights fitted.

  We were very impressed with David and his team. They were able to do the job within a short time frame and completed an excellent job in two days.

  Erect a single storey extension to the rear of our property, providing a new kitchen and cloakroom.

  David has been brilliant. We first spoke to David, after getting our building plans passed by the local authority, in October 2020. He explained that he was very busy, and we pencilled in a start date of May 2021, and he explained that when he starts a job, he will stay with it until it is finished, and the customer is totally happy. He has been a man of his words. This has been achieved during very difficult times, with the covid lockdowns, shortage of materials in the building trade, and rising prices on all materials. I can thoroughly vouch for the standard of his work.

  Disappointing

  Spoke to David Bateman and asked him to provide a quote for some rebuild of walls and railings, he came out and looked at works. After a couple of days chased for quote, he said he would get it to me, chased again a week later, again he said would get it to me, after another week, chased again said he would email Monday night, still not received even after chasing him several times since. Feel very let down and my time has been wasted.

  Response from D Bateman General Building Services

  I was called out to look at the work which I did look at I spent a few hours pricing the work and writing a quote but before I had a chance to send the email I was confronted with a very abusive phone call from the client to which I decided these where not the kind of people I wished to work for you only have to look at the other feedbacks to see the level of my professionalism some people can’t be pleased.

  Rear Extension and Patio

  David and his team were a delight and polite. Always willing to answer any problems and came up with solutions, all areas kept tidy. They treated our home with the care and concern as if it was their own, everything was completed to a high standard. The price matched the quote, any extras we requested were explained/costed prior to start. Daily communication of what was being done, if items were required or expected to be delivered. For a stressful event – the team removed a lot of concerns with both their attitude and competency. We would recommend them and would immediately use them again.
