A&L Building Services

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.

Allen and Leon replaced and re-painted the rendering on the rear of our terraced house. They did the work within the agreed time and price. They were hard-working and efficient, keeping us informed of what they were doing. They worked long hours to ensure they made the most of the weather. They were good company - always pleasant, discreet and polite. After work they cleared up every day and left the place really tidy once the job was finished. We enjoyed having them here and would employ them again without hesitation. We recommend them wholeheartedly. It was great to see such positive young men working well together and taking pride in their work. Thank you Allen and Leon.

After deciding to replace an old bathroom with swollen floorboards, tiles hanging off, bamboo shoots coming through the floor, leaking pipes and a rotten door frame – I knew it would not be easy. Allen, a friendly young man, recommended to me, took on the project including the preparation work which would obviously be be significant. I received what I thought was a very reasonable quote. All the rendering fell off with the old tiles - the whole room had to be completely re-rendered and plastered, pipes / stop tap repaired, door frame replaced and floor leveled / replaced before he could start. What impressed me was the meticulous approach to ensuring all the preparatory work was completed to the highest standard with Allen never getting phased as each complication appeared. I was again impressed with Allen’s informative and conscientious approach as the installation work continued– Allen was supported in the work by his brother Leon who displayed the same friendly conscientious approach while sorting out all the woodwork issues - nothing was too much trouble. All aspects of the new bathroom was installed to the highest standard – wall units, bath / shower, meticulous tiling both wall and floor, every aspect completed with a very professional finish. I would thoroughly recommend A and L Building Services– They are very keen to ensure any job is completed to the highest standard combined with a determination to ensure the customer is fully satisfied with the end product.

Allen & Leon were excellent in both their work and their attitude, rendering an unusual design on a huge wall in central Bristol fir a mural. They also responded with patience & professionalism when we had to change our initial plans due to planning permission. They communicated well, were friendly, flexible and got the job done to a high standard. We would definitely recommend them & hire their services again.

Having been let down by other builders in the past, it was a refreshing change to have Allen and Leon to do our work. They stuck to the date they promised, were punctual, courteous and very accommodating with some last minute changes that we made. Great care was taken over the work, which was finished to a high standard, and at a reasonable cost. We would have Allen and Leon to work on our property again, and would recommend them to others.

We have had repair works to walls on the house and garage this week. Allen was tidy, courteous and most importantly the work was to a very high standard. We will use A&L Building services in the future!

We commissioned A&L to renovate a bathroom that hadn’t been touched since the 1960s. To make more space, this included knocking down a solid wall and replacing it with a new stud wall further into the next room through which new plumbing configuration would run. There was the remnants of an old ‘en suite’ in the adjacent room to contend with too. From the start, Allen took great interest in the plan and this meant he removed much of the burden of project management. He was full of ideas but listened to exactly what we wanted. As soon as he set to work: the demolition was quick; the new studwork high quality and solid; the re-plumbing was expert and stress tested; the re-plastering precise and comprehensive; the tiling (of small tiles) truly artisan and without any wastage. The final finish and sealing left a clean and neat professional job of which we are very pleased. We found A&L to be methodical, meticulous and proactive to problem solving. Allen worked long hours to get the job done, cleaning and tidying to a high standard each night which was a huge help with a curious toddler in the house. Allen’s interested and cheerful disposition capped a resoundingly positive experience for us and has left us with both a high-quality family bathroom we can enjoy for years and a neatly finished adjoining room for our child to make her own. We plan to use them again for future work. In summary: highly recommended.

These two very likeable men turned up on Monday morning and got stuck in dismantling the old kitchen. They were very professional, efficient and meticulous in everything they did. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They even tidied up after themselves at the end of each day. The new units were installed to our exact specifications and they did perfect job. It was completed on schedule and on budget. I would highly recommend these two lads to anyone who likes a good price and a professional job. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We had Allen from A and L to install our new fireplace as we had a old disconnected gas fire from the council in place from a previous tenant. we contacted A and L after seeing them in a local magazine and thought we should check them out on Which. After speaking to a member of staff regarding our job they suggested they should come around to see if they could complete the job required. After viewing the blanked gas pipe and made sure it was safe. They suggested they could fit us in next month as the job should not take more than 1 and half days to complete. All we can say is the plastering work that was needed was second to none and the install and finish was superb. They even cleaned up after leavening a perfect job for my wife to see. We would full endorse A and L and recommend them to anyone needing a job doing well..

Allen and Leon removed the wall between our kitchen and living room, put in a support beam, capped the existing electrics and gas and plastered the new opening. From their very first visit to our home, we had a good feeling about them but once they started working, they exceeded our expectations. They worked to an extremely high standard, keeping us well informed on their progress, were polite, courteous, professional and helpful. At the end of each day, they left the place tidy. We would recommend them to anybody and will definitely be using their services again
