Charleswood Property Developments Ltd

Mark as Project Manager and Paul as lead craftsman recently finished a complete renovation of our home. I highly recommend them for their outstanding work. They were always professional, efficient and paid meticulous attention to detail. The quality of their craftsmanship exceeded our expectations, and they consistently communicated throughout the process. We had a high degree of trust in them and were able to spend four months overseas whilst they completed the job. It was a real pleasure working with a team that takes pride in delivering exceptional results.

This work on two large reception rooms involved builders, plasterers, a joiner, a plumber and an electrician. Everything was flawlessly coordinated by Paul, and unlike other builders I'd better not mention, there were no days when nobody turned up. All aspects of the work was completed efficiently and to a very high standard. New radiators were quickly sourced and fitted; a timber frame with insulation was built in a bay window; and bespoke plaster coving was fitted and meticulously sanded. Although the work unavoidably created dust, each day the team were careful to vacuum clean and make good. Everyone was cheery, helpful and keen to do a good job. We can't recommend Charleswood enough!

Mark leads a team of outstanding skilled craftsmen who cover all the basics, from plumbing, through electrical, boiler installation, tiling, bricklaying, joinery etc. This is the third time in twelve years that my wife and I have used his teams skills and expertise, and on each occasion we have been totally satisfied. His team complete on time, and to budget, and always go the extra mile to please the customer. What particularly impressed us is the way they could solve different problems, in our case poor insulation, promptly, and to budget. There was the added bonus that the team were always friendly, and considerate of our needs, and went the extra mile to clear up any inevitable mess on a daily basis. As an added, and unforseen, bonus, Mark responded to a crisis we faced one weekend in the middle of renovation, and was able to call out members of his team to help and support us at a moments notice. We have no reservations in recommending Mark Wood and Charleswood Propertes, and his excellent team. A brilliant local builder8

Asked for a door to be cut in and fitted between our hallway and garage, work was completed within a single day and everything made good to a very high standard. Very happy with the work, would recommend to anyone. Thanks very much.

Charlswood Property Development has recently completed extensive renovation works, including structural repairs, to my property in Bishophill Senior, over a 6 month period. The team at Charleswood have been responsive from day one and professional at all times, delivering quality workmanship, fairly priced, despite having a busy order book like most building firms. I would be perfectly happy to use Mark and the team again on future project work.

We are very pleased with all the work done by Charleswood Property Developments to make our bungalow our forever home. From start to finish Mark and his team were helpful and informative letting us know what was happening at all times during the work. All the work was completed to a high standard and we would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to others.

Loft purlin installed. Upper floor joists strengthened and levelled; original floor relaid along with a new timber floor. Kitchen ceiling removed to enable access to the bathroom and rear bedroom joists, which were strengthened. Ceiling re-boarded and plastered. Liased with Building Control as required. Charleswood are a genuine, legitimate company who are current members of their listed accreditations. They deliver the works as discussed to a high standard. Response to communication is always very prompt. The tradespeople are knowledgeable, skilled, polite and respectful. Nothing is too much trouble and at the end of each day, everything is tidy. I was kept informed throughout. Mark and Paul are lovely, trustworthy and approachable and I highly recommend this company. You are worth every penny for peace of mind for a job well done. Thank you Sue

Building works to create open plan kitchen, utility and dining room plus bathroom refit. Planning any alterations to your home is a major undertaking and you put yourselves very much into the hands of the company you employ. From the moment we met with Mark, and in the subsequent planning meetings we had with his team, we knew that we had made the right choice, and so it proved. We always felt that we were in safe hands, as any questions were answered quickly and problems dealt with in a positive no-nonsense way. His whole team were approachable and excellent professionals. We would have no hesitation in using Mark again and recommending Charleswood Property Developments to others. Thank you Mark

We are really delighted with the work that’s been done by Charleswood Property Developments Ltd. Ours was a relatively small project for the company but the various alterations (removal of an internal wall, insertion of patio doors plus various changes to doors, heating, electric cables and storage) are enabling us to use the house as we want and we are immediately feeling the benefit. From the start with an exchange of emails and a bar of chocolate, it was obvious that I had chosen well in asking Mark to quote for the job. Throughout, his communication with me was excellent: clear, knowledgeable and patient in responding to my endless questions! His approach in giving a fixed price is very reassuring to the customer; the price was fair and it was good to know that costs would not escalate out of control. Everyone who worked here was polite, considerate and did all he could to help in any way possible. Respect was shown to us and our home; areas were screened off to minimise movement of dust; there were no blaring radios to upset neighbours; the working areas were left clean and tidy at the end of each day; the schedule was managed well. We felt totally confident in Paul’s oversight and Mal, too, took time to explain what he was doing and clearly wanted us to be pleased with his excellent joinery. The guys were easy to have around and made the process run as smoothly as possible. So, put simply, we couldn't have done any better. Thank you Mark, Paul, Mal and the team.

I had been recommended Charleswood Property Developments Limited by a friend. We are having some major renovation work done on our period property and needed a reliable builder to remove the old tiles in the hallway and the wooden flooring in the kitchen. I met Mark on-site and was immediately impressed by his professional, friendly demeanor and knowledge of what needed doing. I later met Mark and Paul, who was to be our "foreman", on-site and found Paul equally helpful. We discussed what was required and Mark prepared a detailed, careful quote. Once the work started, I found all the team friendly, polite, and hard-working. As is often the way, having taken up the floors, it then transpired that much more work was required than anticipated, including pulling up the original, old floorboards, strengthening the ceiling joists, and relaying the floor. This was by no means an easy task and required more manpower and more time than anyone could have anticipated. Despite this, Mark worked very hard to ensure that more men were brought on-site and, against all the odds, the work was completed on time and to a high standard. I have had previous experience with builders and could not recommend a single one of them. However, Mark and his team exceeded all my expectations. They were a pleasure to have in the house, they worked hard, they were tidy and helpful and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
