    Large home extension with considerable groundworks and demanding building regs requirement.

    Posted 17 November 2024

    The team were excellent from start to finish. They visited the site a number of occasions before starting & positively contributed advice which helped with cost and planning. The project came in on time and on budget. They are all very courteous, professional and really easy to work with. Their work is very good, they turned-up on time put in a good days work. The team gave us lots of confidence through their ability and quality of workmanship. We would recommend using this team who communicate well & are very respectful towards the client. But overall it was a good build - Thanks Guys

    The work was carried out to an excellent standard. Workmen turned up on time as and when they said they would, they were polite and professional. I will be using them in the future and would recommend them to anyone.

    Convert rear spare loo and cloakroom

    Posted 18 June 2024

    Terry and his team worked wonders with knocking out two walls and old downstairs toilets to open up space to expose our lovely garden. Fitted French doors and make perfect all plaster work. Definitely recommend Tatum Builders.

    Repairing guttering

    Posted 12 March 2024

    Terry kept me in the loop from the minute I first contacted Tatum Builders by arranging an inspection of the job and agreeing a date and time for the repair work to be carried out. He was courteous and friendly at all times and the work was carried out promptly to my satisfaction.

    Kitchen extension

    Posted 06 March 2024

    This is a small family business who take pride in what they do. The whole process from design through building the extension and fitting out the new kitchen has been smooth. The team worked hard, were always polite, were very tidy (even to the extent of putting down chipboard with a raised edge to stop soil/sand/skip rubbish going onto next door's drive). The quality of the end result is excellent, and there have been no surprise extra charges. I've been badly let down by tradespeople in the past, but I would happily use Tatum Builders again and recommend to others.

    General building work

    Posted 31 August 2023

    Terry from Tatum builders contacted us to say he would be able to give us a quote for the work. He made three separate appointments to visit us and didn’t turn up for any of them. We wouldn’t use any company who is so unreliable. One rescheduled appointment is acceptable, two is unfortunate but three is unacceptable.

    Response from Tatum Builders

    I have apologised to the potential customer and he was given notice in good time so as not to be inconvenienced for his free quote we had had a death in the family and other issues beyond our control after all we are only human we have had no negative feedback for our quality of work and service to all of our customers as anyone can see from our feedback over the last few years

    New Single Storey Home Extension - Absolutely The Best Experience.

    Posted 03 August 2023

    I have been in the building industry as a client for over 50 years and heard every excuse for being late, over budget and poor quality. With some trepidation we bought a property which needed extending. We considered a recommendation, a medium sized specialist and local firms, settling on Tatum Builders. The design was agreed with Terry and Matt then work commenced. I cannot speak highly enough of Alex; Cane; Matt and Terry. On time, on budget, excellent quality and total respect for our home, neighbors and neighborhood. A real pleasure to have them around and a very good looking extension.

    Upgraded a lean-to conservatory into a new solid roof with tiles.

    Posted 26 June 2023

    Second time using Tatum Builders now, generally a lovely family run business with a ton of experience. The project was completed efficiently and on schedule, with minimal disruption. The new tiled roof looks lovely and they were even more helpful in letting me know that I had some damage to another part of my roof which they kindly sorted for me. All in all, great prices, and fantastic work. Highly recommended!
