Serious water leak in our kitchen - we had managed to guesstimate its approximate location before I called Balance, but really had little idea of what we were dealing with. Gary got his team out very very quickly, recognising the urgency, and I have nothing but the highest praise for the work that Dave and Charlie did. They established where the leak was and whilst I had had visions of half my kitchen and flooring being removed to fix the leak, with potentially thousands of pounds of damage being caused, these absolute magicians managed to reach and fix the leak with minimal damage - just one shelf inside a cupboard unit needs replacing. Incredible! They worked so hard, and I am so grateful to them and Gary for their help. They have totally restored my faith in tradesmen, having being on the receiving end of some very dodgy workmanship a few years ago elsewhere in the property. Thank you thank you!

Total upgrade

Total exterior upgrade to the house including gutters and fascias. Also replaced and modernised our last century kitchen to an up-to-date gem. Commissioned work done across the summer. High-quality workmanship by experts. Costs are always managed and discussed. Gary has an eye for evaluating just what will provide the best value and that is something special. The new porcelain floor in the kitchen spotlights to the ceiling and exterior night lights are all pleasing to the eye and add value. Couldn't be happier with the work done and the transformation of a shabby property into something I feel prouder to exhibit.

I had a new facia, main door and surround re-painted and the side garage door replaced with a UPVC one. Work was carried out to the specifications, and everything left clean and tidy. All workers were very polite and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend this company.

I would certainly recommend Gary Mitchell of Balance and Company Builders. He organised the refurbishment of a flat we purchased and got the work done promptly, taking only a few weeks from start to finish. Installation of kitchen we had purchased, painting and decorating, fibreglass insulation in loft, organising electrical system upgrade. A very good service.

We have had various work done by Balance over the past year+ covering plastering, electrical, plumbing, decorating, fencing and decking. Nothing is ever a bother and Gary and all the team are professional, friendly and always punctual. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary and Balance & Co, and already have plans for the bathroom renovation next year. Gary provides detailed quotes and NEVER has tried to charge any extras despite changes along the way which can happen as projects progress. In Gary's words - "no worries".
