Reliable, friendly and super skilled!
We have been using AP Ward since we moved into the area back in 2015. They are extremely skilled, personable and always willing to have a discussion to figure out what is best for us and the house. Being an old Victorian terraced there are always nuances to the work needing to be done. Tony and the team are always willing to have an initial conversation with us to understand the work, educate us, provide quotes and ensure that we get the right outcome. Recently we had a complete kitchen renovation carried out by them which required all floorboards to be removed, structural work and multiple tradespeople working together to deliver our vision for the kitchen. They helped ensure a smooth process throughout and when we had unforeseen circumstances are quick and easy to work with to resolve. In the past, we have used Tony and the team for a wide range of jobs including decorating, plumbing, bathroom refit, general support, and a boiler replacement. They can support across a wide range of work and I couldn’t recommend the team highly enough in terms of the support throughout the jobs and the finish we were left with!

Great service from AP Ward
Tony Ward and his team refurbished my conservatory and made it as good as new. I am delighted with the result and the cost to fix pipework, replastering and redecoration was reasonable. All work was completed promptly and cleanly and communications were excellent I have no hesitation in recommending his company.

Bathroom refurb
We used AP Ward to take on our bathroom refurbishment. Tony’s project management skills were outstanding, doing all the negotiations with a difficult supplier and making sure everything was within budget. We found him and his team very helpful. They are very hard working and meticulous on detail. Paul and Dave from his team were always on time, very hard working and cleared up after they’d finished. We now have a lovely new bathroom and we have no hesitation in recommending them. We’ve already used them again to replace some lights.

Very professional company
We decided to ask Tony Ward to take on our kitchen refurb this spring. I was initially unsure about he price he quoted, having received a couple of cheaper quotes elsewhere. However, it was really a case of coming to terms with the cost of professionals now to do the sort of work I'd previously done myself before old age defeated me. It is also clearly very much a case of you get what you pay for. His quote was very detailed and was updated as we made several modifications. Communication with Tony was really good. He has a large team to call on and the time and care attending to details before the job was finished was, I'm sure, second to none. He has my hearty endorsement.

Swift work professionally done
We needed a builder to get on with a number of tasks at my son's house in Beckenham for a job where time was really important as well as quality. A P Ward Building Services were able to quote and start work within a fortnight and they completed the job well within the estimated three weeks. It involved electrics, carpentry, tiling, interior wall repairs and decorating. It was difficult for quote for all of it so an hourly rate was agreed for some with an estimate. It came in pretty well bang on and the quality was good in all areas.

Outstanding Professionalism on a Difficult Project
Tony Ward of APWard Building Services Ltd undertook a difficult refurbishment - namely that of my late partner's house which I was project managing from a distance. His professional manner and integrity right from the start, was outstanding. His high standards, attention to detail, itemised quotations & invoices, patience, ability to problem solve, clear communication and helpful advice, were exceptional. His aesthetic sense, his and his team's practical skills and high standard of workmanship fully matched this. As a family, we are delighted with the transformation of what was an unsaleable wreck into something quite beautiful. It is now a lovely family home of which we can be proud. All this and coming in under budget, cleaning up as they went along and allowing us to add additional works as we went along, was not easy. We could not have managed without Tony's considerable experience and that of his team. I think it is fair to say that, after project managing 4 previous major house refurbishments, APWard Building Services are the best builders I have ever worked with.

Great response
We had a problem with our guttering, both at the front and the back. The front involved cleaning out the guttering and the back, where an extra section of pipework had to be installed to prevent rainwater running over the top of the guttering. We took advice from Tony who suggested the solution of the additional pipework. The first was done promptly and well and the second has worked well in channeling the rainwater away without any spillage and flooding, which was the problem to be solved. It needed some minor alteration, which was carried out promptly and well. It's a great improvement and once again, Tony has provided us with a high standard of service and expert advice. He is always helpful and responsive and takes time to explore and discuss the problem and possible solutions. The work was carried out to the agreed estimate. We would recommend Tony Ward and would certainly use his services again.

Very reliable building services
We had an emergency at our home in London. Water poured from our main shower into the light fixing in the dining room ceiling below; and from our ensuite bathroom, water ran down the walls in the hallway. From Somerset, we called Tony and explained the situation. He and his team went straight to the house, took photos of the damage done; suggested what needed to be done to put it right; and got to work sorting it out. They completely replaced the shower; repaired the dining room ceiling; and fixed the ensuite shower. They kept us informed every step of the way and did an exceptional job – as we knew they would. They always do. The team also undertook some smaller, property management works for us at a later date - fixing roof flashings; fixing internal doors; and jet washing patio stones. Tony and his team are the most professional, helpful, trustworthy and reliable tradespeople we have ever known. Nothing is too small and they will do everything to help. We cannot praise him and his team highly enough. Carol & Tom – London & Somerset

We had been in touch with Tony throughout the process of purchasing our house asking his advice about possible future building plans. Even before taking him on for the jobs he was so helpful, knowledgeable and generous with his time and expertise. Once we met Tony and discussed the project (turning a two-bedroom back into a three-bedroom along with installing a fitted wardrobe and all associated decorating and electrical works) we were in no doubt his company was the best in the business and we were so delighted with the works once completed. Tony, Paul and David were extremely courteous and professional and took great care of our home whilst we were away and works were conducted. We would recommend AP Ward to anyone and everyone!

Installation of patio (drainage, dampproof course, substrata and tiling works)
Tony made a very good impression at the first meeting. He listened carefully to my requirements, which required special handling of the tiling in particular. Unglazed terracotta is very porous and needs special, longwinded, applications for grouting and protection. The old patio had to be removed, damp proof course installed, hardcore reinstalled, some drainage replaced and the manhole repaired. The concrete was reinforced with metal mesh and metal fibres to provide a long-lasting base for tiling that should avoid water ingress from the ground as much as possible. There was a lag between base installation and tiling because of the approaching winter and then rain, but also because I became ill and cancelled twice at very short notice. The latter should ideally not be done because it will likely be a serious inconvenience for the builder's planning. Tony was very understanding and helpful, and we managed to get the job done eventually. The tiling itself was complicated because the tiles were of a different hue, and needed extra care with placing. They were also 2 cm thick and required several applications of protector with extra drying time in between. Tony and his team, Karl, Martin and Kieron are very pleasant people. Even hitches were easy to resolve. They have been absolutely reliable. I was impressed with how tidy they left the place, not just at the end but in between. A.P. Ward is definitely the go to builder in my address book.

Excellent work and highly professional.
Very happy to recommend Tony Ward. This was my first ever property purchase and never used a building contractor before. Mine is a Victorian terraced house and work included a knock-through between living and dining rooms; almost whole house being re-plastered; rewiring most rooms; new radiators, architrave, coving, skirting boards, painting ceilings and so on. An intimidating prospect for a first timer like me (and someone who can't put up a shelf). As a member, found Tony's details and previous recommendations on Which? and very glad too. Tony and his first class team did a fantastic job with lots of high quality work. He's also very good and patient about adjusting the job if I changed my mind about my initial ideas, which I did occasionally. And most helpfully, he ensured I was regularly kept fully briefed about running costs and budget so there were no unexpected surprises at the end. A very professional job all round. And a great team of guys to work with.

A tricky job delivered very professionally by a very reliable team
A waste pipe leaking from our upstairs bathroom was in a difficult position to access for repair - so much so that we had been let down by several contractors including one recommended by our Insurance company! After many months we began to wonder if it would ever be fixed. Then I finally found Tony's company via Which Trusted Traders - he came round, assessed what had to be done and within a week had arranged for scaffold to be set up along the side of the house and had the necessary repair done to a very high standard. Then other members of his team completed the redecorating work required inside the house due to the original water damage - again to a very high standard and our agreed specification. Tony would visit during the work and on completion of each phase to ensure everything was going to plan and to our satisfaction. Price was as agreed in advance and the work was done with as little disruption as possible, very clean and tidy. We would recommend him for any general building/maintenance work and will certainly be using him again.

honest, reliable and highly capable.
I contacted Tony after discovering his high reviews on Google, to help with a flooring issue that had arisen in a tenanted property of mine. On initial consultation it was clear that Tony held the client's needs as a top priority of his when considering budget and solution to the problem, and he gave me great comfort that the work was going to be done to the standard required. Tony tasked one of his team members, Kieran, to perform the work just two days later. Kieran arrived on time and worked quickly and with high professionalism to resolve the issue. I cannot recommend A P Ward building services enough.

Minor guttering repairs done promptly to a high standard
The guttering at the front of my house was overflowing and causing penetrating damp. AP Ward came out quickly to survey the problem and replaced the gutter, whilst also attending to some timber work in the eves and minor repointing of a small section of brickwork. The work was done promptly in less than a day, to a high standard and the site left clear of rubbish or debris. Price was exactly as quoted. Highly recommended and would definitely AP Ward for any future work on my home.

Great building team
Tony and his team of workers were reliable, contactable and competitive. Really couldn’t ask for more. They renovated a whole house for us after a rewire, removed old cupboards, wallpaper, plastered all rooms and changed radiators. I liked that Tony was on top of his team and was always contactable on his phone and e-mail. Highly recommended! Stavros

Skilled and helpful
My first floor flat and the neighbouring flat are reached by outside steps. Bricks in the walls on the outside of these steps had crumbled and become loose and there were gaps between the walls and the steps. Having been let down by another builder, we instructed A P Ward in winter, and work was delayed by rain, but we were kept informed. Walls were repaired by a craftsman bricklayer to a high standard. We accepted his advice to change the original plan for the gaps between walls and the steps and again the work was completed to a high standard. We found Mr Ward easy to deal with.

Fast and effective. Overflowing guttering fixed
The Problem. The back of our 1st floor flat had guttering flooded during heavy rain. The result was damp and rotting window frames. Tony came in and identified the problem. Changed the guttering and added an extra down pipe. He quoted 2 days but his guys got it done in a single day. Tony also smoothed potential problems with neighbours about access with a patient and polite approach

Quality building work with excellent service...
I had an urgent plastering job to do and A. P. Ward attended promptly and gave me a quote the same day. Tony managed to schedule the work at short notice and on the day, Kieron attended on time and reassured me that the job would be no problem. He was very cheerful, polite and professional - a pleasure to deal with. I was delighted when I saw the finished result - he also managed to do a smaller job in the kitchen which saved another visit. The work carried out was to a very high standard and I have asked the company to look into further renovations in the house. Highly recommended !

Maintence work
A P Ward did a great job for me. I needed to do a number of small jobs including replacing a radiator for my rented out property in Bromley. They were really quick, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them for my future jobs.

Fantastic service, great team!
A.P. Ward Building Services Ltd recently refurbished my bathroom, kitchen, utility and cloakroom. The work has been done to a very high specification and I could not be happier with the results. The various jobs were scheduled to ensure that members of the team were on-site every day so that the job could be completed on time. I have no hesitation in recommending this company to prospective clients.

Great work and professional
I had a leak in kitchen roof caused by leak from shower. I had thought it was a problem with shower piping but it was in fact sealant pulling away from shower tray. A P Ward assessed the situation, repaired the shower tray, then repaired kitchen roof. And repainted kitchen walls as well as ceiling. A pleasure to deal with. Will use again.

Very reliable and professional
We have used A P Ward multiple times in recent years for both small and large jobs, and, to be honest, I cannot remember ever having to complain, or remind them, about anything. The team is very professional from beginning to end and you get the feeling that they all care about what they are doing and that they want to keep you as a customer. I have recommended them to friends and would do so again at the drop of a hat.

Excellent customer service and workmanship
Having had several bad experiences with trades people, I was so impressed by Karl and his team. They were professional and courteous . The workmanship was superior and they explained everything they were doing. Estimates and updates were provided promptly. I worked from home during the works and they were so quiet and mindful of noise that I sometimes forgot that they were even there, even though they were ripping up floors, sawing and nailing! I will be using them again in the future for a bigger job if they can fit me in!

Good work, professional, prompt, courteous and no hidden surprises
Tony, Karl and his team sorted out a damp problem, electrics job, redecorated & new carpet. They were prompt, courteous and professional. Everything as estimated, no hidden surprises! But above all they were very patient and kind to my elderly mum - going beyond the call of duty. Will definitely call them if needed in the future.

Went the extra mile
Really good work installing some periscope vents into our external air bricks. The builder even did extra work to set them deeper so they would look neater because he wasn't happy to leave them sticking out further. Highly recommended.

Tony was great at giving us all the time we needed to explain everything we needed doing in the house and got back to us very promptly about fixing the shower leak which was the first thing we needed done. Trevor subsequently came and fixed the shower very quickly and efficiently which meant we only needed 1 hour of labour. We look forward to working with Tony on other projects.

New Banister
Having fallen down the stairs in our house partly due to not having a banister rail to hold on to, we contacted AP Ward who came promptly and gave us a quotation which we accepted. They then fixed an appointment for the work to be done and in the event was able to fit us in much earlier. The work was done very efficiently, professionally and courteously and we are very pleased with the result.

Very impressed
I had three rooms plastered - including repair of existing plaster, going back to the brickwork in some places. Also a picture rail fitted in two rooms. Karl, Mark and the team were very professional, punctual and did a great job. Plastering is top-notch. There was a bit of mess from the plaster (which is usual, I'm sure), but it was cleaned up. AP Ward aren't the cheapest around, but you get what you pay for. I'll be using them again for sure.

Saved Christmas!
Our cooker broke on 23 December - disaster. After sourcing a replacement that day we discovered the existing gas pipes would not allow the new model to slot into position. Following a call out for help via social media Tony contacted me and offered for one of his team to fix it. This was on 23 December - total panic! Tony arranged for his certified gas engineer to come out on Christmas eve morning. He turned up on time, did the perfect job moving the gas pipes and enabled us to have a lovely Christmas. The workmanship was professional and the engineer courteous, especially given the date and short notice. We were extremely grateful and I would not hesitate to use A P Ward again. I am very happy to recommend Tony's company.

They took the stress away
I saw the "trusted service" banner and also needed 1 company that could co-ordinate various trades so I thought I'd check them out, and I am very glad I did. I was getting my house ready to move out and for it to become BTL and they did all the bits that needed to be done, which were the various certificates, changing a couple bits and pieces so that it adheres to guidelines etc, which involved at least three different trades. I gave them a key and let them get on with it and they came and went as they needed. Sometimes the only way I knew they had been, was because something had been changed. It was reassuring that they cared about the property and cleaned up after themselves and that that was only less thing for me to worry about, when I myself am trying to move and all that that entails. As I am moving out of the area, it also leaves me secure in the knowledge that I can just give them a call if I need to and they can just go in and sort it out...like ninja builders! :-)

A P Ward to the Rescue (again...)
Following the heavy winds in January we were left with a fence at 45 Degrees and in bad need of some professional attention. We contacted the team at A P Ward as we have used them previously without issue and they promptly surveyed, a price was agreed and we just needed to wait for some better weather. Well, I am pleased to report that the better weather has arrived and the team have now completed their works to a professional standard. We are now looking at some additional works inside the house with A P Ward in the not too distant future - well done and thank you to all at A P Ward!

Used A P Ward on several occasions
We have used Tony and his team on several occasions and will continue to do so. The jobs have ranged from converting a garage space to an office, internal and external decorating and tidying the tarmac at the end of the drive. On all occasions we were advised when the work would start and how long it would take and, sure enough, the personnel used always turned up at the appointed hour, did a full days' work and cleaned up each day before leaving. Excellent service.

Chimney repairs in Beckenham
What a great company. Well organised, speedy, sensible, experienced, very approachable and helpful. Good detailed schedule of work and a comforting quote. Kept to their promises, always on time, worked flexibly on this tricky job despite frequent weather interruptions. On site - polite, tidy, worked thoughtfully around us. Thanks to Tony, Sarah, Karl, Kieren and I'm really sorry but I've forgotten your name (Kieren's colleague). Wonderful. If Heineken did Building Services.........

Bathroom and toilet
AP Ward have recently decorated my bathroom and toilet - what a brilliant team! Their work is to the highest standard, all that came to the house were polite, punctual, professional and tidy. Tony Ward introduced himself on the first day and kept in touch. Lovely Sarah in the office kept me informed of progress and what would be happening next. Very fair pricing of jobs, cannot recommend this company highly enough.

REPAIR AND RENEWAL AFTER WATER INGRESS
I had a long standing leak underneath a bath which eventually damaged the lounge ceiling below. Tony and his team carefully replaced rotten timbers in the bathroom and also rot that had travelled to a bedroom . All work was carefully carried out and photgraphic evidence produced for an insurance claim. The work included plumbing , plastering , joinery and tiling. This was all excellent work at a price that satisfied the insurers

Outstanding
Myself and my family have used A P Ward for many years now for small minor decoration & repairs to complete bathroom & kitchen re-fits. Tony and his team have always been very professional and are always happy to give advice if needed. It is nice know that I can go to work knowing that I can leave polite, clean & trustworthy people working in my house and also in my elderly mum's house. Nothing is too big or too small for this amazing building company. I highly recommend them. I wouldn't want to use anyone else again. Why look for better when you've already found the best!

House Overhaul
Tony and team redecorated my house from top to bottom as well as fitting a new bathroom and performing structural work to the outer walls of the house. I have used many builders across London over the years and the standard of work on this project was of the highest standard. Mark ( the decorator) finish was impeccable. The bathroom you can see pictures of above and the structual work uncovered during the build was dealt with brilliantly. Through the works Tony's customer service was great and he was always available on the phone. I would thoroughly recommend him and his team and will be using them again in the future.

Impressed!
We had AP ward in to decorate the outside of our house? It was a big job which involved scaffolding, chimney work, removing render, painting and woodwork repairs. They were brilliant! Everything was completely organised without us having to do anything. Scaffolding, painters, renderers, carpenters all turned up at the right times and all worked so hard and with great skill and thoroughness. They were polite and thoughtful. Their work was regularly checked over to ensure it was completed to a high standard. All in all, we can't fault this company. They weren't cheap but they were very good. We have recommended them to friends and would definitely use them again.
