We needed a repair to a rainwater gully and drain. We also required new garden fencing, including digging up existing bushes etc. We agreed the quote, the team arrived as scheduled, completed the work in 1 day, left the site clean and tidy. The materials used were good quality. Very pleased with the result. Would definitely use them again.

My wife and I have used Balance & Co before some ten years ago. We were very satisfied with their work then and have just had some work done on our stone kitchen floor. We find Balance & Co to be very helpful and professional, also giving us some very useful advice. We have booked Balance & Co to come and lay some flooring in the near future. They are very tidy and cleaned up removing all rubbish.

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.

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.

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.

Replacement Patio

We have just had our decrepit old patio replace by this company. This is the third time we have used them and find them reliable, honest, cost-effective and pleasant to deal with. When finding a good builder like this, why go elsewhere. He helped us chose the paving, surrounding wall materials and coping stones and his men completed the job efficiently and were more than helpful in shifting benches and pot plants to other locations whilst they carried out the work, clearing up perfectly after they finished each day ending in a perfect new patio.
