Refit bathroom

We have used this builder before so were confident work would be completed on schedule, within budget and to a high standard. We were not disappointed despite extra work being evident once old tiles were removed and existing floor needed replacement. We were kept informed on exactly what work was being completed each day and great care was taken to ensure our instructions were followed. The resultant bathroom is exactly what we wanted and we are thrilled with the result.

Very professional and great patio

As a Which? member myself, I originally found Charleswood through the Trusted Trader site and I’m extremely pleased that I did. We just had an extensive patio installed across the back of the house and Mark, Paul and the team did a really great job - real attention to detail, friendly team who always advised us on progress and options and very well organised to minimise disruption. Can’t recommend highly enough as we’ve had some pretty poor experiences with other companies in the past - shown us what a professional company can achieve. Very happy to leave this review. Thank you.

Installation of a steel lintel.

The work involved the installation of a steel lintel above an existing window to enable a new window to be fitted. I was really pleased with the work carried out by the company. Rob and Dave were a great team to have working for us. They arrived when arranged, completed the work in the timescale indicated and just got on with the job, no problems at all. They both had a great knowledge and took pride in what they were doing. The work was also completed for the fee quoted. I would certainly recommend this company. From the initial site visit by Paul, to the issuing of the contract by Mark and the actual site work this company has worked to a very high standard throughout.

Garage conversion to a wet-room and a utility area.

The project was professionally planned and executed from the beginning. A site meeting prior to commencement allowed us to meet the team and we were able to discuss our requirements and preferences as well as identify potential problems. This allowed the project to progress smoothly. Excellent site management which co-ordinated the different trades and dealt with any issues promptly and efficiently. The workmanship throughout was of a very high standard and were delighted with the finished project. The work was completed within the projected time frame and budget. We have no hesitation in recommending Mark and the team of CWP.

Kitchen diner project- fantastic!

I recently worked with mark and the team on my kitchen diner. This required knocking down the existing structural wall, bricking up doors, making good etc. I had been let down by a previous builder so it was great to meet mark and have such a professional service from day 1. Everything was clear and concise, all the building regs were taken care of- the whole process was very efficient. The work began on time and was finished as scheduled. The whole team were really nice, respectful and most importantly the end result was fantastic. I would highly recommend this company (and have done already!)

Mark and Paul visited our house to discuss the work, and they were a pleasure to deal with. We went through the plans and we had already decided, before they left, that they would be the builders for us. They arrived on the first day (not long before Christmas) and the whole team was delightful - if you're going to have people in your house for six months (and continue to live in it) you really do have to like them. They left the house in a liveable condition over Christmas and were back in the new year. The work progressed as planned, and when it didn't (our house as opposed to them) they took everything in their stride and even fitted in an unforeseen bathroom re-fit at the same time. I was poorly throughout the build (hence the very late review) and the guys on site were so unbelievably kind, I cannot thank them enough. Paul is fantastic at communication. I don't think there's a time of night when he doesn't answer his emails! Great craftsmanship and two very happy customers.

Impressive Renovation

We can highly recommend Charleswood Property Developments. They recently completed a beautiful renovation of our property, which involved the creation of a through kitchen/diner/living space from three different rooms involving the removal of two internal walls. Our bathroom, ensuite and downstairs cloakroom were also completely renewed. They were efficient, thorough and very competent. The most impressive feature of the team's work is the ease with which we could contact them and talk through ideas and issues. They explained any difficulties as the work progressed and any problems were sorted out quickly. Their work was even more impressive given the issues with Covid and the difficulties that this has presented with the supply of materials. We especially appreciated the tireless work and skill of Paul and Oliver, to mention just two of the marvellous team.

Amazing project management

Charleswood Property Development delivered exactly what was promised in the time frame agreed. This was a six to eight week job with only seven weeks until Christmas! By 8am on the first day it was obvious that this was a very professional building team. There were roofers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and general builders all over my house. They at all times treated me and my property with respect.They also made sure not to unnecessarily disturb my neighbours. On Christmas day I was able to welcome my family into my newly renovated and refurbished home. Thank you Mark, Paul and the rest of the team.

Despite one or two minor issues with communications, the Charleswood Team delivered. A failed window lintel turned out to be due to water ingress above the window, but this was quickly resolved and a new lintel installed. Internal cracking within our property was also dealt with in a very professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to others.

Mark and his company did some repair work on my house back in 2016 which included fixing the roof. In September 2019 I noticed that a small area of the ridge tiles needed attention. Within a couple of days of emailing Mark, he had dispatched his site foreman to have a look who fixed the problem there and then. Bearing in mind they were busy with bigger jobs and that this was over 3 years after completing the work on my house, I consider the service I have received to be extremely professional. I would not hesitate to have Mark and his company complete work on my house again. Nor would I hesitate to recommend him to anybody I knew who needed a builder.
