Everything from start to finish e.g. Quote, price, service, was carried out to a very high professional standard. When we had a new fence for our garden. Highly recommend for this trader!

This is the third time we have used Balance and once again are very pleased with the work. They were always on time, courteous and cleaned up after themselves. We would not hesitate to use them again and would definitely recommend them.

I have used this company many times over the years. The work undertaken on this occasion was moving a light switch which required the wall and ceiling being re-plastered before the decorator could paint and paper the landing, hall and staircase. They were clean and tidy workers and the work completed to an excellent standard. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I wanted to get our chimney stack re-pointed and rendered, the access to get up to the chimney is extremely tight and above the very narrow alley between two houses. In all, I contacted five building companies for a quote, I explained the situation to all of them, out of the five, only two came out to look at the job, one of them I haven’t heard from since, despite several calls to him. Gary from Balance & Co came straight out the next day, he looked at the job in the morning and I had the quotation by 5pm the same day. He gave me a start date and time, Lee was there on the dot on the day promised. Incidentally, I had already sorted out the scaffolding and it was there ready for him to start the job. His workmanship is second to none and he kept all areas spotlessly clean. Lee also took photographs at every stage of the works, to be honest, the chimney stack was in such a mess but you should see it now, it’s unrecognisable, absolutely superb. I am happy to be contacted and will show people the result of the finished job. Les Johnson Leigh-on-Sea.

Employed to remove blown plaster in kitchen. Sheeted up all cupboards, work surfaces etc. and installed mesh, plaster band and float set areas. They were exceptionally clean, tidy, professional & communication was good. Final cost as estimated.

Have uses Balance & Company on many occasions and have always been satisfied with the work carried out. On this occasion I was without of power to my electric sockets and within an hour of phoning the electricians came out and within a further hour solved the problem.
