Adrian done an excellent job fixing a leak in my roof. He explained exactly what he was doing and double checked all his work. Like most builders, I did not get the impression he was trying to rip me off and took pride is his work. I will be using him again for other jobs.

A W Building Services painted the outside of the house, installed new facia and soffit board and did some plastering inside the house. They worked efficiently in a friendly manner and at a good price.

This is the third time we have used Adrian, this time to fix taps in a shower room. Two weeks ago, he fitted new tiles on the kitchen floor, preparing the base with care (it had been badly set before). We were delighted with the quality of the work and love the finished floor. Yesterday, we asked him to mend the bathroom taps. He decided they needed to be replaced, went to buy new taps, returned and fitted them within two hours. He is cheerful, careful and never overcharges. We rate him very highly and would not hesitate to ask him to do any job in the house. He is definitely our go-to man!

Adrian and his Team replaced some guttering and painted the outside of our house. They also replaced some broken tiles on our porch roof. This is the second piece of work they have done for us. As before, they were punctual, worked hard and were very pleasant to have around.

I have had a problem with the wall of the kitchen extension since it was built 10 years ago. No one was able to identify the real cause , neither the original builder nor an insurance assessor. Adrian came along and was able to identify the cause, fix it for a reasonable price and give a 10 year guarrantee. When he discovered an additional problem, he fixed it without requesting additional payment. I will be employing him again soon, to replace a 20 year old flat roof. Highly recommended.

Adrian repaired a part of the roof which was leaking and sorted the problem out without any fuss at all. Really pleased with his service and I will definitely call him again for any other work I need doing on my house.

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.

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.

I recently had my roof re-tiled and two flat roofs recovered by AW building services and was very happy with the work and the outcome. Adrian is a charming man who was always true to his word and very good at communicating when there were any changes or issues with the weather or the schedule. All the men who worked at my home (including the scaffolders) were polite, tidy and respectful at all times. Adrian is very professional in his manner and was keen to ensure that I was happy with the work throughout and I would not hesitate to recommend him. I will be using his services again shortly for some general decoration work.

I used Adrian and his team to put a new flat roof on our garage, insulate and plasterboard the walls, replace the garage door and reposition a downpipe. They worked extremely hard and were very careful to clean up afterwards. We were very pleased with the overall quality, attention to detail and speed with which they worked. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adrian for all round building works and think he offers very good value for money. We will certainly use his services again in the future.

Due to rain consistently penetrating the front wall of my house, resulting in internal leaks over the lintels, and having tried several waterproofing coatings without any improvement, I sought quotes for the ultimate solution, rendering. Adrian's was the most competitive and he was able to explain the whole process in detail, which inspired confidence. He kept me posted before and during the work, which had to be delayed due to bad weather. Once started, he and his team worked rapidly, efficiently and effectively, completing the job, including painting, in 3 days and to a high standard. Furthermore, he ensured the site was kept clean throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending him... and I'm now looking to engage him in creating a kitchen/diner for me.

Over the past 6 months we have used Adrian for a number of jobs inside and outside the house: oiling wooden floors, painting, repairing cracks, damp, roof, guttering, handmade garage doors and side gate, drainage channel, to name but a few things. Adrian has been extremely reliable and very trustworthy each time. He and his team are hard working and the work is to a very high standard indeed. Adrian is extremely flexible and accommodating. We are delighted to have found Adrian, and we will definately call upon him when needed in the future. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

We had an urgent problem at a rental property and a very short time to sort it in before new tenants moved in. Another builder was supposed to do it but just disappeared. Adrian came to our rescue and worked long hours to be able to sort out everything. He did everything efficiently and proved to be very reliable. He kept in regular contact to inform us of his progress and was very helpful. He and his team did a good job and always cleaned up after they finished. I would use him again and would certainly recommend him.

Adrian is friendly and helpful. He phoned to postpone the date for the work when he had problems with the scaffolders and turned up OK on the rescheduled date and did the work. He checked carefully to make sure he was doing the work as I wanted.The gutters he fitted look fine and only time will tell but I feel confident. Clean and tidy.
