Balance & Company (Essex) Limited

I have been a very satisfied customer of Balance and Company for a number of years. They have carried out a variety of jobs for me ranging from the small to the large. The last work they completed for me was to paint the outside of my house. They are always very knowledgeable and helpful, provide detailed estimates and the finished work meets a consistently high standard.

We hired this company to carry out repairs to our leaking roof. The workmen were punctual, efficient and friendly. They completed the job in hand to our entire satisfaction, leaving us with a water tight roof.

I found Balance and Co on Which after having a couple of builder horror stories. I have to say we were delighted with the high quality work in our spare room. We had to have a ceiling removed and replaced and all 4 walls had to cut back and replaced. Old windows removed and replaced. The guys were very friendly and punctual. They worked extremely hard. When we came across extra work to be done. Gary was very good at explaining what needed to be done and got our agreement before work went ahead. After the initial job we asked if they could decorate as well. Gary worked very hard to get the his team to do this especially as this job was not scheduled for. Definitely recommend them .

1 Apex wall externally repainted, 1 Chimney repointed, 1 small flat roof refelted including new decking , both chaps worked extremely hard on above jobs over approx 3 days, knew what they were doing, with Gary the owner as usual popping over to see that all was ok. No mess left once work completed. I have used this Company many times before and can definitely recommend this company for workmanship and customer care.

We had a house fire causing heat damage and a lot of smoke damage. Gary assessed the damage and provided a very clear explanation of the work that would be required, and produced a detailed and competitive quote for the proposed works that was accepted by the insurance company. Gary and the guys that did the work were very friendly and the work itself was completed to a high standard, and we were delighted with it. Best of all, the quote provided was very accurate, and the work was completed very swiftly. I would be very happy to use them again and recommend them to others!

We had the pleasure of working with Balance & Company Essex Limited in May for our bathroom renovation, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Garry, the owner, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He is a pleasant person to deal with, always approachable and ready to address any concerns or questions we had. What truly set Garry apart was his flexibility. Among all the builders we contacted, he was the only one who agreed to take on our project before the birth of our baby. Without his commitment and willingness to accommodate our timeline, we would still be without a proper bathroom. The team from Balance & Company demonstrated the utmost respect for our home. They worked diligently without causing any disruptions and ensured that they did not leave any mess behind. Their attention to detail extended to their cleanup efforts, leaving our home just as tidy as it was before they began. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Balance & Company was the accuracy of their invoicing. There were no unexpected charges or added extras; the final invoice was exactly as quoted. This transparency and honesty in their dealings are highly commendable and gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Balance & Company Essex Limited to anyone in need of a reliable and quality builder. Their professionalism, dedication, and quality of work are unmatched.

The work was to fill in the inspection pit that had partially collapsed. They professionally reviewed the damaged pit and detailed the required work (draining the pit, filling it with hardcore and topping with concrete). The work was carried out in a professional manner and the site was left tidy. The staff were amiable and fitted into our situation. This was the second time that we had used them and were not disappointed.

We were very pleased with the work carried out by Balance & Co. We had a detailed quote before the job commenced and once accepted the work started without delay. The work was carried out in a professional and efficient manner, the builders were competent and friendly, and the site was left in a tidy condition when the job was completed. Any small problems were dealt with immediately and satisfactorily.

I contacted Gary about a potentially tricky job of replacing a wooden wall plate above my kitchen window which was thoroughly rotten. Gary assessed the job and told me what to expect from the start. His team were polite and courteous, pin-pointed exactly what needed doing (we weren't 100% sure of what to expect until facia and tiles had been removed) and completed the job professionally (taking photo's from start to finish). Can highly recommend.
