AW Building Services

On contacting Adrian to request a quote to fix a failing/unsupported ceiling created by a previous builder, I went ahead and employed his services after reading his many positive reviews. Although, arguably, not the cheapest on the market, sometimes you just get what you pay for. In my case this was punctuality, attention to detail, reliability, knowledge, and the actual skills and ability to do the work to a satisfactory standard, within budget and on time. And that`s my high standards, not what some other builders feel is a high standard. The end product was a job very well done with the personal assurance from Adrian that if anything goes wrong (which I doubt) just to give him a call and he`ll put it right. He has since quoted me on quite a large extension (for a friend of 30 years) such is my confidence in his work. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending him to a family member let alone a close friend.

This is the third time Adrian Wator and his extremely pleasant team have done building and decorating work on our premises. As before, they have been punctual, reliable, and well organised. They are fast, efficient and clearly take pride in the quality of their work. They give close attention to detail and are ready to accommodate minor additional requirements without quibbling over the cost. Once the work is complete they clean up thoroughly and leave the premises in top shape. I could not recommend them more highly.

The team worked very hard and completed the work (both inside and outside) quicker than I expected. They kept me closely informed and managed my expectations very well. The work was done to a high standard and they were very thorough - if I raised a query they dealt with it immediately. Work was carried out to the agreed budget, including some small extras that I asked for as the work progressed.

Adrian and his team did exactly what they said they would do. We could talk to Adrian at any time and he kept us informed about the order of work and what he and his team were doing. They were all approachable, polite and good time keepers. Their attention to detail and the quality of the materials they used blew us away. Nothing fazed them or was too much trouble. They left us feeling delighted and cared for and we feel they wouldn’t have done anything differently had they been doing this work for themselves. Over the years we’ve used numerous builders and AW Builders are head and shoulders above the rest. They are the ones we’ll be returning to.

Contacted Adrian for a quote for exterior paintwork. Very good price and suitable date agreed. The date was shifted a few days because of the weather but was all completed within the time agreed. Adrian and his team work hard and finished the job all as agreed with tidy working, clearing up and leaving all work areas tidy each evening. He was easy to contact with a prompt reply to any query. Will use AW again!!

Adrian and his team did 4 jobs for me including installing a new cloakroom toilet and sink, replacing a fluorescent light in the kitchen, repairing a leaking gutter and fixing 2 power sockets which had come loose. All work was completed successfully, no mess, guys very pleasant to deal with.

I contacted Adrian in May about the work needed. Adrian came to see what needed to be done and set a date when he was available. He and his team completed the repair to my porch in August. The job involved replacing some of the main wooden posts that had gone rotten, making good and preparing and painting the new posts. I found Adrian responded very promptly to my initial email requesting the service and was similarly prompt in all communications thereafter, keeping to dates and times and the initial quote as well. The team was polite and they tidied up well at the end of the job.

AW Building Services completed a full kitchen refurbishment for us in August 2021. This included taking the (very) old kitchen out, putting new lights in, installing a new kitchen, tiling, and painting the walls. We compared a couple of traders found on Which, and AW Building Services stood out from the start with quick and efficient communication. This proved the case throughout. Adrian was quick to respond to any queries or questions, before, during, and after the job. We had a clear plan, agreed timings, and agreed costings before the job. The work itself was done very efficiently and to a high standard. Throughout we were kept informed of progress, and any issues. But because Adrian and his team are so knowledgeable and experienced, we discussed everything beforehand, and we had no issues at all! (The only issue was with the kitchen manufacturer, but that's a whole different conversation) This was our very first renovation project, and after such a positive experience we are already planning the next one!

I phoned Adrian on a Friday morning in the hope of getting a continuous dripping leak from a toilet cistern repaired as soon as possible. One plumber I had used in the past could not help me on this occasion. Adrian phoned me back in the morning and arranged to look at the problem later in the day. His colleagues arrived at the end of the afternoon and solved the problem. Leak was repaired. Excellent service for what some would regard as a small job and on a Friday afternoon!

We engaged AW Building Services for this big extension project. Having previously used them to convert a room into a nice open bathroom and had a very good experience, especially with their aftercare support, we decided to engage AW services again for this project. We have been extremely pleased with the work done. Our extension consisted of a four meter high ceiling inclined roof with subsequent internal work, including extending our kitchen and reception, and an understairs cloakroom. AW Building services delivered a high quality work that very well aligned with the way we had visualised our project. Thanks to them we eventually got exactly what we wanted. Adrian and his team were all very polite, pleasant, jovial and very conscientious to make sure that everything was done according to what we needed. Everything was well communicated and discussed when needed. Not only Adrian, but each of his team would go out of their way to make sure we were happy with what they made. As with any big project, there were challenges which were sometimes out of their control - however they showed flexibility and good project management skills to ensure things progressed. In some instances, they would not hesitate to redo part of the work or do additional work (sometimes without any cost) to make sure things looked right. They took pride in what they do and that's a very good mark of a good builder. We've been getting compliments from visitors and we've already been recommending them.
