A&L Building Services

Allen has just completed the refurbishment of my en suite bathroom (occasionally assisted by his brother Leon). He has done a superb job, and was a pleasure to have around, being skillful, thoughtful and reliable. I was sometimes rather anxious, and he was very good at allaying my fears, and remained cheerful throughout. I can thoroughly recommend this firm.

I’m delighted with both the work completed by Leon and Allen and with their professional and thoughtful approach. I don’t live in the house they’ve been working on so I have been dependent on their regular updates which have been very helpful and informative. They were able to identify a couple of issues - unrelated to the job in hand - which I would have known nothing about without their being considerate enough to advise. I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone looking for an excellent builder.

Allen and Leon repaired four different problems in my Victorian house, on different occasions, ranging from completely replacing a rotten flat roof above a bay window, to tracking down and filling cracks in chimneys and walls which were letting in damp. They are absolutely professional, very helpful and also extremely nice and great to have around! They are very considerate about the inevitable mess that goes with building work and left everything clean and tidy. Communication is always clear, and their estimates accurate and reasonable. I would re-employ them anytime - highly recommended! Absolutely the best builders ever.

Leon and Allen are very helpful,polite and considerate. We had found it difficult to find a contractor to fix our very noisy upstairs flooring. They had to work around a complex pipe layout under the floor. They carefully fixed the pipes in position and relaid the floor and the result is amazingly quiet. They also replaced the spindles on the staircase and it has transformed it into a much more modern look. The work was carried out on the agreed date and was actually slightly less than their quote as they managed to reuse the existing floorboards. They were clean and tidy and I would thoroughly recommend them and would use them again in the future.

Allen and Leon came to strip and replace the render on our house and garage. When they came to do a quote, they were very clear about what the job would involve so there weren't any surprises along the way. They quoted an amount and a timescale which were accurate. They kept regular hours but also stayed late on occasion to get the job done in the agreed timeframe. They were able to tackle unforeseen issues along the way and all their work was competed to a high standard. We were kept fully informed throughout. They always left the site clean and tidy at the end of each day and did a lovely clean up job once all the work was complete. Allen and Leon are very professional, helpful and a pleasure to have around. We will definitely use them for work again and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

We hired Leon and Allen after they were recommended by my daughter. They have gutted the bathroom and fitted a new bathroom. They are very customer focused and we were consulted at every step. The quality of work was excellent and completed in time and to the quote. They also knocked out a wall in preparation for French doors as well as blocking up a wall. On top of this, they plastered the whole room and our lounge. At the end of the day, they always tidied up after themselves. During the whole project, they were professional, hard-working and honest. I would recommend them and also employ them for other work.

We are delighted with the extension which was achieved on budget and to a high specification. Nothing was too much trouble, we had many additions as the project progressed and both Allen and Leon were respectful, professional and always left the site tidy. They have a very high work ethic, a good sense of humour and were a delight to have around. Highly recommend.

The work involved gutting our old bathroom and installing a new one. Wow, what a transformation!! From start to finish, Allen was a pleasure to have around. Every little detail was taken into account, asking us where we wanted things put. His workmanship is amazing. His manner is professional. When you find someone that good, there's no need to look elsewhere and definitely worth waiting for. Leon did the finishing touches on the carpentry which was first class. Both exceedingly hard working young men and really know their trade.

Allen and Leon did an outstanding job of re-plastering a large ceiling. They were very professional and friendly and went above and beyond to complete the work to an extremely high standard. The quote was very reasonable and the work was completed to the agreed schedule and budget. Nothing was too much trouble and I very highly recommend them.

Our house required significant external maintenance work and re-painting: the render had cracks in lots of areas; some of it was detached from the brickwork; the construction between the upper and lower bay windows needed renewing; and on several edges, the internal metal frame had rusted, leading to crumbling and brown stains. The paint on the house had also weathered badly and the render was bare in many places. In addition, the garage door and its frame had severe rusting and needed treatment and painting; corroded wooden frames around two patio doors needed stripping, filling and painting; and all the guttering needed cleaning and some leaks repaired. Allen and Leon impressed us with their professionalism, their attitude and with how they would perform the work and we are delighted that we chose to go with them. They did an outstanding job and were incredibly thorough, completing the work to the quote. The exterior of the house was power-washed twice, removing large quantities of old paint. The render was repaired and matched beautifully to the old and given two coats of high-quality paint. The house now looks brand new! Allen and Leon arrived to start the work on the day we had agreed. They also worked tidily and cleaned up the site at the end of each day. They are really nice guys who were a pleasure to work with, always cheerful and considerate, and with a pride in their work. We recommend A&L Building Services in the strongest terms.
