A&L Building Services

Allen and Leon did a brilliant job for us - they kept me up to date at all times about how it was progressing, were polite and considerate, and did the work to a high standard. Would definitely recommend.

A & L have worked for me previously and, as on this occasion (painting indoors), they did a great job, were courteous and helpful, were quiet and pleasant to have around, cleared up properly.

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.

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
