Balance & Company (Essex) Limited

Balance and Company did some fairly extensive renovations on my c19th house, replacing all front windows including bay, restoring cills and original cast iron columns, removing and replacing render to the front and gable wall of the house, installing several heli-bars in the brickwork, improving drainage around the front and side of the house, replacing plaster in exterior walls of an upstairs bedroom with drywall, and completing interior and exterior decorating. My experience with Gary was excellent from the start. Having worked for decades on houses like mine, he knew from a structural point of view what to expect when the plaster and render came off, so he was able to provide me with an extremely detailed quote that covered all of the possible problems we might encounter. This allowed me to cost various options sensibly, and the build came in precisely on budget! On a build this complex, invariably some issues will arise, but anything that did come up was dealt with swiftly and with no fuss. His team, many of whom have been with him for years, were cheerful, trustworthy, and respectful of my home. When a manufacturing defect caused a small problem with one of the upstairs windows months after the build was complete, Gary sent someone round to sort it out at no cost to me. The renovations have transformed the house. I'm delighted, and can't recommend Gary and his team highly enough.

I have just had my 2 bedroomed flat fully redecorated including en-suite, bathroom & long hall. Was totally impressed by everything - turning up on time to quote for job & quote by email received following day. The date was agreed & a very helpful decorator turned up to do the job & completed it in the time given - no mean feat as the building lift was out of order during the duration & as I am on 3rd floor meant a lot of carrying up & down. He was excellent all round moving furniture & taking curtains up & down as well as fixing two nasty cracks in the wall & doing an excellent job of the painting.

Repaired my chimney which had been damaged Fair price paid for work carried out Would recommend and use again

The whole team from start to finish were a joy to do business with. We knew exactly what we wanted and everything was agreed upfront before they started. Our bathroom my most houses it’s quiet small but we had big ideas to make this a luxury bathroom on a small budget. We were given alternative ideas and the fact we were ordering our suite from another supplier didn’t faze them at all, they just worked around the delivery times. Hayden arrived and although young in appearance worked like a steam train on full chat, he never stopped except to have the occasional drink. He was extremely respectful , helpful and a delight to have around what he did on any given day mattered. Tidiness was a key word for him. The plastering and pipe re-routing, and ceiling re-modelling was done by Haydon & Chas & Dave (gercha) yes I know but these guys were very entertaining and just so professional and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble they answered my questions and when I ordered the wrong toilet they explained why and help me obtain the wrong one which was cheaper than the one I had previously ordered. The whole job from start to finish was done in the most professional way extremely tidy and knowledgeable team. I recommend this company wholeheartedly.

Gary and Jason were very professional,polite and friendly. Pleased with the price quoted and agreed the job. Work carried out promptly by Dave,who was great. Job completed to a very high standard.Tidied up all the mess and left every thing clean.We would highly recommend Balance and Co.

We needed a repair to a rainwater gully and drain. We also required new garden fencing, including digging up existing bushes etc. We agreed the quote, the team arrived as scheduled, completed the work in 1 day, left the site clean and tidy. The materials used were good quality. Very pleased with the result. Would definitely use them again.

Gary was practical in his recommendation of the scope, professional teamwork coordinating e2e completion, transparent with pricing. Above all his team cut no corners in providing me the Electrical and Construction certification after completion. We are very pleased and satisfied with the newly fitted bathroom. Thank you Gary and Team.
