    Cavity trays fitted

    I would highly recommend this Ron and his team. Came out and quoted when they said they would. Kept me informed of what time they were turning up to carry out the work when the previous job had overrun a little. Job carried out and the area left clean and tidy, I couldn’t ask for more. Will certainly be using them again for any future jobs I need doing.

    Property Maintenance / Repair

    Posted 20 May

    Excellent work.

    This is the third piece of work carried out on our house by Ron Squibb and his workers. Each job has been carried out with full information about how and when the work would be done along with the estimate for the work. The work has all been done to a very high standard, carefully and on time. The lads doing the work have been cheerful and (for builders) quiet and careful, cleaning up at the end of every day. Many thanks to Ron and his team. I would certainly recommend them and have them again should further work be required.

    Chimney stack repairs.

    Earlier this my chimney stack lost some rendering; Mr Squibb visited very soon after being contacted and assessed the nature of the problem. This was followed by receipt of a very clear statement of what the remedial work would consist of and its estimated cost. He cautioned that the work should not be done until weather conditions had improved and in due course the work was executed to my entire satisfaction and, as always, Mr Squibb's team (who were their usual polite and friendly selves) cleared away all debris and associated rubbish. Total satisfaction in all respects, thanks Mr Squibb!

    Another great job done by Squibbs

    I was initially recommended to Squibbs by my neigbours and have previously had them work on my house, so I went straight to them to refurbish my conservatory and render my outside walls. They don't just do a great job, they're a pleasure to have around, always cleared up at the end of each day and I was happy to leave them to it when I had to go out to work or for any other reason. I was especially grateful that they alerted me to a gable end that was clearly in need of attention and was impressed with how quickly the necessary work was carried out.

    Old school and very helpful!

    R Squibb and his team are a great old school type builder that can be trusted to do a great job. I have used them before for work on our current house which they did a fantastic job of. So they where my 1st call when I needed work on a new project they we are going to live in. They did a large garage extension among many other major bits of work. and when ever I have a new idea they worked with me to understand what I was trying to do and priced the work prompt. The advice for all of the ream was good and helpful. but in particular From Chris (Rons Son) and Adam (Rons Brother).
