I have used this company on two separate occasions and was happy with both jobs that were done, friendly bunch of workers and they cleaned up really good afterwards, would definitely recommend them and I would also use them again.Verified reviewerJob location: RM1010 Excellent work at a competative price
Posted 07 August
Back to Bases constructed a base for our log cabin and replaced several fence panels. They attended quickly to quote the work and were able to carry the work out soon after. They were very efficient, the three men worked very hard and got everything done in a day and a half. The guys were friendly and professional (although Im slightly miffed no one wanted a cup of tea!) And considering the nature of the work they had to do, not very noisyVerified reviewerJob location: CM1410 Excellent value for money

Job location: IG8Arrived early and got straight into it. The job was completed efficiently and all the old debris cleared, including huge broken metal gates. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Explained everything thoroughly. Competitively priced..10 Front drive repair job - that involved:- (1)Brick wall removal (2)Replaced with fencing
Posted 15 July
The work required involved the removal of 2 brick walls in the front drive - replacing 1 wall with wooden fencing and gravel boards. The removal of the 2nd wall did not require replacement - but did involve a considerable amount cementing and making good to the street end of the driveway. The work also involved filling in 4 reasonably large holes with crazy paving- where plant displays once were . Numerous employees from Back to Bases were involved for different activities throughout the 2 days the job took to complete. All people involved were very professional and customer service focused.Verified reviewerJob location: RM210 Fencing and Repointing

Excellent team, highly recommend. They refitted a fence with one new fence post and some awkward sized panels and repointed parts of the rear of our house. Great quality of work, tidied up after themselves as they went and proved communication throughout from quoting to post works undertaken.Verified reviewerJob location: E1710 Fencing and brickwork

The team replaced a fence post and fencing, including two awkward sections needing to be cut to size, and they also did some repointing work to the house. Very efficient, great communication, fully tidied up the areas once complete and talked through work they had completed. Highly recommend this team!Verified reviewerJob location: E17
