Gary came to give us advice on what could be done to repair a flat lead covered roof. He took us through some options, told us what would be done and what might have to be done. Also explained that we would need scaffolding erected before the work could be done. There was a slight delay due to the current situation causing problems but two days after the scaffolding was erected, the work on the roof was started and completed. The work was done efficiently and professionally, the two chaps who came were polite, punctual, obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. (They also repined flashing on neighbours roof.) They cleared up and left the garden tidy. Viewed from above the new roof covering looks very neat, more importantly it's watertight. Gary called by a couple of days later to ensure the work had been done to his (and our) satisfaction and was very clear that if we should have any concerns with this roof in the future to call them and they would sort it. He arranged for the scaffolding to be collected which it was two days later. We would have no hesitation in recommending the company.

This company can be summed up in three words. Polite, Professional, Punctual. Not only do they do the work but they also advise along the way and I would say to anybody using them to listen to what they say as in my case the end result is fantastic. I highly recommend this company and I would not hesitate to use them again.

The first man came and gave me a quote, and a week later they turned up to do the job. Only complaint is that they left a gate open and our dog was able to get out. We didnt know that they were going to come on the day that the did, so didnt have a chance to prepare. Very pleasant people. I was happy with the work done, all this rain has tested it and its worked.

We were given a quote by this very knowledgable builder and the work started promptly to remove our fireplace and make good. Everything was done beautifully and they came on time, cleared up well and took everything away. We were really pleased with the result and price and felt confident about contacting them if there were any problems. (There were none) I have no hesitation in recommending this company and have already to several of my friends.

I’d approached a couple of companies who didn’t want to quote. Then I saw Balance & Co in a trustedtraders leaflet so called them. Gary said he’d quote and came out the next day. He booked me in for 6 weeks time but then had a window straightaway. Job done well. No fuss. Exactly what I wanted. Really happy. Good to know they do all types of building works. Would use again.

We have used this company before and the quality of work is excellent.This time it was to demolish and replace 10 fence panels with concrete posts and gravel boards. Work was completed to very high standard, on time and on budget. Would not hessitate to recommend company to others and we will be using again when occasion arises.

Contacted Ray at Balance via email to ask for a quote for some electrical sockets to be supplied and installed in our garage. Got a quote the same day and the work was completed in a socially distanced, safe way two days later. The electrician was friendly, considerate, efficient and left no mess. Ray was happy to invoice for the work following completion, and made sure that we had contact details and a clear invitation to get in touch if there were any problems with the work at any future time. Balance will definitely get a call from us for any future projects, big or small that we need taken care of at home

I called in Balance and co for an emergency repair to my main roof, which they promptly made safe. Gary then took me through my options and I decided the best option was a complete new roof. The work was carried out very professionally and the workmanship was of excellent quality. Because of this I then asked Gary to quote for a tiled roof over my porch, garage & utility room which was also completed with the same quality as the main house roof. The guys were excellent turned up when they said & always tidied up before they left. All in all I can highly recommend Balance & co.
