Another Quality Repair Professionally Completed

We have used Balance and Company twice previously and have been delighted with their work. This repair was quite extensive involving the exterior of our house including replacing rotten timber, render repairs, new guttering, roof repairs and and full exterior repaint. At the outset Gary provided us with a very detailed, itemised quote. As the house is old we expected further work to arise during the repairs which when it did Gary again provided us with very prompt quotes and a detailed explanation of what was needed to carry out the repairs. The builders always arrived early and worked to a very high and tidy standard. We are very pleased with the final result and would thoroughly recommend Balance and Company.

Gave emergency advice (and practical help) after neighbour had a water leak.

In December 2019, one of my neighbours had a water leak which had penetrated into the Freeholder's main exterior wall (and also into my bathroom). I thought that the fault was with Balance & Company's new bathroom window (which they had installed in June 2018). I was wrong. Called Gary Mitchell and explained the situation. After seeing the photographs of the damp, he said that the fault was with the neighbour's plumbing and visited my home to prove it. The Leaseholder of that (leaky) flat was informed and he arranged for a plumber to rectify the cause of the problem in his bathroom. Gary suggested removing the existing plastic beading surrounding the bathroom window to allow the water in the exterior wall (and surrounding the window) to dry out over a three month period. Today, three months later (11th March 2020), the neighbour's plumbing is fixed, the walls are dry and the plastic beading has been replaced by Balance and Company. Both visits (in December 2019 and in March 2020) were free. Thank you, Gary Mitchell and your team, for your advice, and for helping me out of a messy situation.

Efficient and reliable. They removed old bathroom and installed new one. This included new bath, shower, wash basin, toilet, ceiling, lighting and tiling to walls and floor. The work was done to schedule and in line with quote. They were helpful and cleared up after themselves.

I used Balance & Company Essex Ltd to replace some fencing and supply a new front door and to carry out electrical, plastering, redecorating and flooring work plus fitting new skirting. I received a detailed quote for the work. Everything was completed to the agreed schedule and budget including some extra work I requested. The quality of the work is excellent. All the tradesmen were punctual, reliable, professional, clean and tidy and friendly. Ongoing communication was very good and we were kept notified about the dates works would be done throughout the process. When all the work had been completed we had a slight problem with the paint finish on one wall, which started to crack. I must stress this problem was not due to the workmanship. It was an issue with the wall itself. The problem was sorted out efficiently and very quickly (within a day of me reporting it). I certainly be plan to use this company again for future work and would happily recommend it to other people.
