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.

We needed somebody to re run the pipework on our central heating and hiding them from view by "chasing" them into our walls. From start to finish, Gary worked on what we needed, and came up with a solution which has totally transformed the inside of our house. We also asked to have some ceilings replastered to remove existing artex at the same time, which were all done to a very high standard. New skirting boards and coving fitted, again to a very high standard. Any small problems were dealt with effectively, and with no question. Highly recommend this company as an honest, reliable and work which is done to a high standard. Would have no hesitation to use them again.
