AW Building Services

AW Builders have done three jobs for us in March 2021: 1) fixed a leaky roof, 2) capped the chimneys, 3) cleared and fixed the gutters. All work was done as agreed. The guys were honest and provided a fair fee estimate. Adrian was also very good at communication - due to bad weather he needed to reschedule. Adrian has also provided the before and after photos of the work they did to the roof and the chimneys. There was a problem with one of the gutters after the work was completed (which was only evident after it rained). However, the guys came back the next day, on a Saturday to fix it. No fuss, good communication, honest. Would recommend them.

This is my first review on any builder whatsoever. The work of AW Services is fantastic and prompt. I have been in touch with at least 3 builders before contacting AW Services. 1 gave high price and said he didn't know what is the reason for this issue and didn't get back when I asked for photos of his previous work. Another one didn't turn up on time. 3rd came at a different appointment time but didn't even get back inspite of speaking promisingly. Now Adrian was prompt and infact finished the work on schedule. He was quite accomadative on payment schedule too. His men were wearing proper PPE onsite with the company name. Even after care, he was keen to help beyond his work, gave good suggestions on other repair work too. I would definitely use his skills in the future and recommend him 100%

Adrian's communication was excellent and he completed the work very quickly, and cheaper than expected.

This winter a leak appeared on our kitchen ceiling on a weekend and was getting worse by the hour. After a quick moment of panic we thought of Adrian and thank goodness we did. He immediately requested a couple pictures of the leak and he came to our rescue to stop it instantly. Furthermore, we always meant to insulate our kitchen roof, so we decided that this could have been the right time and so we instructed Adrian to take care of this work. It only took a couple of weeks and once again our request was fulfilled promptly, carefully and professionally. Adrian has done work for us on different occasions and he's always met our requests with professional and honest integrity. We have no hesitation to recommend Adrian to our friends.

Adrian and his team came to repair part of our roof and the ceiling in a bedroom as well as clearing the shutters and dealing the joints. They work extremely hard and are very diligent in cleaning up after they finish. We have used Adrian several times in the past and will be very happy to use him in future.

Adrian and his team completed a fair bit of work on the front of my Edwardian home - removing part of a heavy panel of plaster, fixing a large crack in the wall underneath, rendering and painting the whole area, filling the existing large bay window frames (which were in a pretty poor state) and fixing holes in the brickwork. Then they painted all of the woodwork on the windows and the front door and weatherproofed all of the walls. They were professional, thorough and amazingly fast at a reasonable cost. Real hard workers! And always open to answering any questions. They also used quality products. They were recommended by both of my neighbours and I am very happy that I can now wholeheartedly recommend them to other home owners. I am definitely going to use them again. Nice guys too.

I do not think this will be the last time I use Adrian`s services ,The job of fitting kitchen worktops and retiling is a bit much for this 75 year old, But for Adrian`s Brother no problem . Started on time 8 o`clock did no stop, cleaned up as he worked, workmanship excellent 2nd day just as the first not stopping at all , kept us informed all the way, all waste removed Just a good job by good trades people . Definitely Recommend.

Adrian and his team did a total refit on a house in Ilford for us. The guys were, by some distance, the most efficient team of builders that I have ever worked with. The job was completed on time and the quality of etc workmanship was excellent. Adrian communicated very well for the duration of the job and left us with an impressive standard of finish throughout the house. I would definitely recommend him for any job.

Adrian and his team painted the outside of our house did a great job. very Professional nothing was too much for them Highly recommend them.

This is the second time Adrian and his company have done work on our house. Three years ago they installed new ceilings in several rooms. The experience was so positive that I remained in touched with him and this year asked him to redecorate the windows at the front of the house which had badly deteriorated. The work was done to a high standard and in keeping with all the specifications that had been agreed. Like before I found Adrian and his team to be very experienced, reliable and polite. It is clear that they are motivated to do their utmost to satisfy their customers. They are a pleasure to deal with and I am bound to call on them again. After the windows were done Adrian even took the initiative to reduce my bill somewhat because the good weather had made it possible to complete the work faster than anticipated. This speaks volumes for his sense of fairness and honesty.

This is the second job Adrian and his team have done for me in the last few months. It was a major project for me and took me some time to decide on a trader. I'm glad I turned to Which? The work included painting and decorating two bedrooms, my lounge and hallway, replacing the skirting in two rooms, changing all the light fittings and relocating a radiator from a closet to the landing. Adrian's communication was great throughout the 3 weeks it took to complete the job. He was there on day 1, visited at least once a week to check on progress and called regularly to make sure I was happy with the way things were shaping up. His team was prompt, hardworking, polite and good-natured, answering all my questions and meeting the many little demands I had. They willingly took on a number of smaller jobs that I hadn't anticipated at the start but which to me were necessary to achieve the look I wanted and they finished it all on time and within budget. My home looks much more modern now and I'm really pleased with the care, attention and detail that's been taken with it. I'd have no hesitation recommending Adrian and may well call on him again for other work.

I called Adrian for a quote after my roof started leaking. I'd researched what the cost might be beforehand so had an idea of what would be reasonable. He came round, took pictures of the roof and sent them to me so I could see what work needed doing and gave me a price that was within the range I'd expected. He arrived on time on the date agreed and remained on site to supervise his team over the two days the work was carried out. He kept me informed as things progressed so I knew what was happening and when. The work was completed on time and on budget and they left the area clean and tidy. The aftercare was great too. When I had a concern he popped round to take care of it the next day. I'm pleased with my new roof and would have no hesitation recommending Adrian.

Adrian and his team recently did some renovation work for me on the upstairs of my house and I cannot recommend Adrian and his team highly enough. Polite, courteous, hard working, clean and trustworthy. I have no doubt I'll be using them again - highly recommended.

Once again, Adrian and his team have completed another fantastic job at my rental property in East London (5th time over the past 2 years). The latest work involved re-laying a very old and uneven patio and path area, plus clearing a big patch of brambles at the bottom of the garden, killing the roots, laying a membrane in the soil to prevent further growth and finishing the works off with a layer of decorative stones. He also purchased and delivered a new lawnmower to my tenant. Adrian had provided me with a very competitive quote last year, and the job was booked for May 2020. But 2 weeks before the work was to be done, my tenant experienced a blocked toilet which Adrian kindly dealt with, even though busy with other work, and went to the property to conduct a power flush. He said the manhole also needed to be checked/unblocked to prevent further problems but he could not find the manhole. During the patio work, he located the manhole under the old patio, unblocked it and raised it up so that it’s now accessible. Furthermore, he did not invoice me for this additional work, which was extremely kind and generous of him. Through-out the process, he communicated exceptionally well, provided good advice, kept me informed of progress and sent me photos of the finished jobs by WhatsApp. Adrian and his team are professional, reliable and provide a high level of service at competitive rates. I would definitely recommend them and will be using him again for any future work.

Adrian and his team recently renovated our living room, getting rid of some terrible artex on the ceiling and re-skimming the whole room. They also moved and installed a new radiator, fitted a new door and laid new flooring. They also have prepared an archway for some french doors, unfortunately the doors haven't arrived yet but Adrian has been very flexible agreeing to come back later when they do. They were very reliable and polite when carrying out the work. They have done a fantastic job especially given how bad the artex was. We are really happy with the results and would recommend Adrian for any project.

Adrian and his team did a fantastic job redoing our skirtings, architraves and coving, painting the walls, building a cupboard unit from scratch and fitting carpets. They took great care to make sure we were happy with every detail. Even though our wonky old house made fitting it all a lot less straightforwad, they honoured their original quote for the basic works and were flexible enough to accommodate additional requests we had during the job. The team were prompt, hard working and always in great spirit. The house at the end has been completely transformed and we're delighted with the job they did.

I can't recommend Adrian and his team highly enough. They just completed a multiple bathroom job for us including putting in a steam room. They have been consistently professional and extremely painstaking in getting everything done to an optimal level of quality. A pleasure to have around the house.

Adrian and his team have just completed renovation work on my small balcony and I couldn't be happier with the quality of their work. The team is really big on customising and they have been very professional, patient, reliable and very accommodating throughout. The finishing touches are of high standard and Adrian is a great communicator. He is incredibly knowledgeable, honest and has a lot of great advice and flexibility when it comes to what can be achieved. It has been a great pleasure working with the team and I would gladly recommend AW Building Services to anyone interested.

Aw building services have just completed converting my unused garage into a laundry room and small room Very professional job worked every day all day from 8 am non stop Nice people reliable trustworthy did extra small jobs without charge Would defiantly use again

Adrian has done more work in our house at the end of last year as it was planned. He also managed to accommodate some extra unplanned work. His standards of work have remained very high. We are so glad he did all the work we needed done which was all around the house, it included garden walls rendering, fencing, outside walls insulation, paving, indoor flooring replacement, new kitchen etc. Basically Adrian, and of course his team, have now done a lot of work for us and we have been extremely pleased with the results. We will undoubtedly call on Adrian again when the need arises and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our friends. Thank you very much Adrian and please thank your team for accommodating all our detailed requests during the work.

I needed trader to finish off my bathroom renovation after very bad experience with cowboy builders. I found Adrian on Trusted Traders and was amazed with amount of positive feedback he received from previous customers. I was living on building site with my 2 children and heavily pregnant wife after dumping cowboys builders and I needed to get the job done before new baby arrives. Adrian had no any dates available before April 2020, but he decided to help us due to difficult situation we were in. He went above and beyond to finish off our bathroom before baby arrival. His team was working overtime and weekends to get the job done for us. Adrian’s customer service is amazing. He always keeps in touch and informs you about progress of the job and difficulties arising. Nobody likes to correct someone’s poor workmanship and Adrian did not like it also, but he decided to help us because he is such a good person. There were few minor quality issues after work completion, but Adrian was always more than happy to come back and rectify everything. Thank to Adrian we had our bathroom ready on time. Thank you very much!!! I will be hiring Adrian to decorate my flat in very near future and I can highly recommend his services to anybody. Keep it up Adrian!

Adrian and his team carried out a full kitchen renovation, full bathroom renovation and plastered and replaced the ceilings in the hallway and landing of my 3 bed house. This included installing a new boiler, rearranging the bathroom layout, laying wooden flooring and tiling. They also installed three new door frames and doors. The work was carried out to a high standard and at a fair price compared to other quotes we’d received. Adrian was communicative, responsive and extremely helpful when it came to finding solutions to issues that arose along the way. When small jobs were not quite done to our spec, the work was redone without any question and Adrian made sure we were always 100% happy with the work carried out. His team were friendly and likeable (not always important but helpful when dealing with people for 8 weeks!). I would definitely recommend Adrian and his team. I’ve already booked them in to carry out some more work.

Adrian and team have finished a full internal renovation for my house - new electrics, new bathrooms including titling, kitchen installation, small extension, new doors, pipe work, boiler installation, flooring, plastering and decorating. A hidden leak was identified underfloor - spread to 3 rooms and corroded all the pipes in the kitchen and dinning and dampen walls that were concealed by silk paint. The team painstakingly worked hard in identifying the source of the leak and throughout were very helpful, explaining what needs to be done and why, giving me options and ideas on how to fix/design. They removed all the corroded pipes and reinstalled new pipes along with a new boiler /radiators. Completely fixed the dampen walls by rendering and re plastering. Crocked walls were all straightened with joints and plaster boards prior to plastering. Damp flooring was ripped to the concrete to dry first and relayed with joints, insulation and membrane to future proof with water proof boards before underlay and the flooring was laid. Adrian was also very sharp in identifying an future issues that may crop up and providing advise if on how these could be addressed now to prevent unrequited future costs/works. It was tough going at times, due to the number of issues, however Adrian dealt with all issues with perseverance and patience ensuring that the quality is maintained with completion with within the stated timelines and costs as agreed. It was a pleasure working with Adrian.

We employed Adrian and his firm to add a small wc upstairs along with several other smaller jobs. It was done to budget and ahead of schedule. All the men were friendly and conscientious. Communication was very good; Adrian always made it clear what they were doing or were going to do.

I one of the freeholders of a small block of flats in Islington. We accepted a quote from Adrian to undertake a range of exterior works including repairing and painting walls, fixing a metal gate post, preparing and painting metal railings and a walkway, recovering a flat roof, removing overhanging branches from a neighboring property and replacing damaged gas meter covers. The work also included repairing interior walls damaged by damp, applying sealant to prevent future water damage, redecorating, fitting and replacing door fixtures. Adrian and his team began work promptly on the agreed date and, despite problems with the weather, completed the work on schedule. The other freeholders and myself were very pleased with the quality of the work. We found Adrian and his team friendly and their work is certainly of a very high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
