AW Building Services

We had a leak in the roof. Adrian came to look, showed us the damage on his cell phone, submitted a reasonable estimate. He could not come immediately but when it started to rain he came and fitted a tarpaulin over the affected area. He checked by phone every day to make sure all was dry. When it stopped raining, he came promptly, fitted a new flat roof above the dormer window. The job was cheerfully and quickly done and we are delighted withe result. We highly recommend Adrian and intend to employ him again to fit a new kitchen floor!

The flat roof on our loft extension was worn and leaking.We contacted Adrian from the Which Site and he got back to us the same day. We had not had the roof repaired for over 18 years, so were not surprised to hear that both flat roofs required replacing. We also asked for the whole roof to be checked [some tiles were missing]. Adrian emailed us the estimate and we agreed a convenient date for the work to start. Adrian and his Team work very hard and were polite and professional. He communicates well and always came exactly when he said he would. It is a great relief to have all the necessary repairs done to the roof and to have confidence in a builder. We have already requested estimates for further work.

WE PHONED ADRIAN, PICKED FROM YOUR LISTING ON FRIDAY BECAUSE TILES WERE MISSING FROM THE ROOF. HE CAME, LOOKED AND QUOTED ON MONDAY AND ARRIVED TUESDAY AM WITH REPLACEMENT TILES. THE JOB WAS COMPLETED WITHOUT FUSS IN A COUPLE OF HOURS AND THE AGREED REASONABLE PRICE PAID. HE WAS HELPFUL AND POLITE AND EXPLAINED EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING AND TOOK BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS TO SHOW US. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK AND THE WAY IT WAS CARRIED OUT.

I recently had my house renovated, I was looking for a trustworthy builder who could take on the job. I came across AW Building Services via which local, I called Adrian and he came out to have a look and provide a quote. I did test Adrian when he came around to provide a quote such as getting him to replace things that did not really need replacing, this was to test his integrity and he passed with flying colours, he immediately challenged me and gave me good and impartial advice, he stood out and is a very likeable person, I could see myself working with Adrian from the offset and gave him the contract to refurbish my house. He was always available when I needed to talk to him, he is honest and a very hard working individual, there was no job too big for him and his team, they worked endlessly with many late nights to ensure the house was finished on time and on budget. I have no hesitation in recommending AW Building Services to others, Adrian's work speaks for itself and its been a pleasant surprise working with such a trustworthy individual whose attention to detail is immaculate, I already have Adrian lined up to refurbish another property this year.

We found Adrian to be professional, friendly and down to earth, as were his colleagues. He quoted quickly and was competitive. He always arrived on time and the job was finished on time. He repaired our roof and tiled our downstairs toilet. We would definitely recommend him.

I used Adrian and his team to remove old pebble dash, apply colour render and paint our end of terrace property and also lower two chimneys, I am very pleased with the work done. Adrain and his team have a good work ethic and always turned up on time and worked a full day. I found dealing with Adrian very straightforward since he took any unexpected difficulties or changes in his stride and he was reliable. The work was of a good standard and Adrain was always willing to fix any minor snags until I was satisfied, His prices were reasonable and he did little extras without charge such as fixing some leaking guttering. I am very happy to recommend Adrian and expect to use his services again.

I have a rental property which was run by a property management company. Last year they 'recommended' their roofer/general maintenance company who frankly overcharged me, rushed their work, and did a totally substandard job on flashing and ridge tile cementing. The repairs failed after 13 months. This Autumn/Winter we had leaks again....so I came to Which? Local and found Adrian Wator of AW Building Services. I chose him because of the glowing customer reports here and booked him in after his initial visit and quote. He came today and is a lovely chap, professional, communicative, and knows his stuff. He and his worker fixed lead flashings, re-lined certain sections of the roof below the cement tiling and cleaned the gutters for me, all whilst pointing out any areas that may need further work in the future. To say I am happy with his work is an understatement! He was very fair with pricing, excellent in his work, and indeed on time and efficient. He even did additional felting work on other roof areas without charging me extra. He is now in my address book for any future roofing work and I will recommend him to my friends and clients. I would also positively consider his business for general building works in the future.

I had water penetration in various areas on the walls in a top-floor room following sustained rainfall. After the external causes were remedied I hired Adrian in May 2015 to make good inside. He hacked away all the bad plaster to the brick in the affected areas, applied bonding and then re-plastered. The work was carried out over two non-consecutive partial days. Final re-decoration was done as a DIY job later and some persistent sanding was needed to level off the proud joints between the old and new plaster. Adrian is very easy to talk to, he explains things and is prepared to answer questions. Above all he gets on with the job efficiently.

I used Adrian's company to re-plaster three bedroom ceilings. His quote was very reasonable and I was very pleased with the end product. I would not hesitate in recommending him and will almost certainly be using him again for various other jobs.

This was a small job, repairing the brackets to a gutter. So far as I can judge, the work was done well. Adrian was helpful and prompt, and was especially good at keeping in touch when bad weather delayed the start. I would employ him again.
