Balance & Company (Essex) Limited

Excellent job providing professional advice to select and procure three new internal hardwood doors and fittings and then replace and dispose of three existing doors in a timely manner. On completion, Garry and his team left everything clean and tidy and I think were as pleased as us with the finished result.

After two months of knocking down walls & putting in doors, he did several remodeling jobs for me and catered to my demands every step of the way. Gary, Trev and the rest the team were very helpful and professional.

Gary and his team installed new quartz worktops to our existing kitchen, plus new sinks and jobs. Also fitted new back door. All the work was carried out to a high standard, the site was kept clean and tidy and everyone involved was polite and helpful. Delighted with the work carried out and it was reasonably priced too.

I wanted some kitchen cupboards replaced, electrical work and oven and dishwasher installed. It was all done to complete satisfaction and the contractors were polite and left everything clean. It was done within the quote supplied. I would recommend them.

All the work to install my downstairs toilet was carried out by polite, professional tradespeople who arrived when expected and left everything clean and tidy. Gary was contactable at any time and nothing was any trouble. I would recommend using Balance & Co.

Balance and co provided excellent service and customer care. The ceiling was repaired to a very high standard and within the agreed time and cost. I am completely satisfied with the result.

All the work was completed within the timeline. The men who carried out the work were very efficiant and made sure everything was cleaned before they departed. They were very helpfull to any questions I asked and I did add more work as they went on but they just took it in their stride. I had phoned other tradesmen and they either just ignored my phonecall or told me they would not be free untill March 2022. I cannot praise this company enough. They did a fantastic job and I would not hesitate to use them again. In fact I would not go to any other trader if they are able to the job for me.

We needed our living room, replastering and general updating. Gary from Balance and Company called we explained what we wanted and he said' no problem' we didn't realize quite what was involved but Gary talked us through our options and budget. It all turned out to be a much bigger job and I was quite concerned by the thought of plasterers, electricians, covering and painters but no need, all the trades were prompt, friendly, helpful and very tidy. There were a couple of slight delays but nothing serious. Gary checked in regularly and was always contactable. I would recommend Balance and Company and will happily use them again.

We had some re-rendering undertaken in an awkward to reach position. Gary Mitchell of Balance and Co has considerable experience of building trades and coordinated the scaffolding and rendering well and ensured that the workmen took care to protect other parts of the building and were respectful of our home. Gary was helpful and easily contactable throughout. We might have got a cheaper price to complete the work from elsewhere but I am pleased that we chose him for this work because of the knowledge, experience and integrity that he demonstrated.

Balance and Co quoted to totally re-plaster a bedroom, moving/replacing electrical sockets, boarding, plastering a new ceiling and securing and boarding over the old floorboards. They also replaced coving and skirting boards and fully painted the room. All work was carried out to a high spec. All trades turned up exactly as expected on time and worked straight through. As an example, when we were expecting the plasterer at 09:00, a plumber turned up 15 minutes earlier to disconnect the radiator. Very good project planning, especially as they had to work around a bedroom wardrobe fitting companies work schedule. Gary turned up regularly to inspect the work. It was good to have that point of contact. Gary would also respond promptly to any query we encountered - normally our decision to add to the initial project. We have several other projects planned and will definitely be using Balance and Co. Highly recommended.

Our front garden retaining wall had cracked and was starting to lean forward. When the company attended to give the estimate they advised us what needed to be done, and why, and answered any questions relating to this. Balance & Co took down the existing wall, removed bushes and excavated to below the existing foundation to provide room for another concrete block reinforcement wall. Then built new concrete block wall and rebuilt brick wall with drainage points. All this work was carried out to a high standard and every day all debris was taken away and the site left safe. We are very pleased with the finished result. The wall looks as good as new (in fact better) and the site was left clean and tidy. The final invoice was as per the written quote. All tradesmen involved were professional, polite and obviously experienced. I would definitely recommend this company.

An excellent service provided by Gary and his team. We could not be happier from the installation of the footings, building the wall, through to the final rendering all of which matches our neighbour's walls perfectly. We will definitely be contacting Balance & Company for any future work we may need and would highly recommend.

We have just had our old garage made into a utility room by BALANCE and Company. We couldn't be happier with the way the work was carried out. The price was agreed and stuck to. We had electricians, builders, heating engineers and plasterers attend and all were polite and very professional. They started on time at 8.30am and did a full days work, taking away all rubbish and leaving area tidy when leaving. The finished work was of a very high quality and we will be using this company for future works.

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.

This was the 4th time we have employed this company & as usual they have done a first class job, it is always a pleasure to have them at our property. This time it was to repair the roof & install new gutters & facias plus install a new step.

I highly recommend Balance and Co. and would happily use them in the future. Gary Miller has an exceptional team which he deploys so efficiently that no time is wasted and all aspects are dovetailed ; skip,electrics, gas,deliveries,plasterer,painter,aftercare ! Work is high quality and his team are friendly and professional. Each day they arrived on time and in good humour. They just got on with the job and worked extremely hard. Despite the tricky bits they never complained and used their expertise to resolve snags. They consult during the works and will go that extra to ensure customer satisfaction. My kitchen was finished on schedule and after each task along the way they tidied up ! I was most impressed.

Renovation of daughter's bedroom removing existing units, plasterboard to ceiling, plastering all walls and ceiling, painting, fitting of fanlight, and putting shelving in the cupboard. Also, removal of 4 doors and frames upstairs and refitting new doors and frameworks which were then painted. Work was carried out on schedule and at the agreed quote. All tradespersons were friendly with good communication and very efficient. and professional. All work was carried out and completed to our satisfaction as we envisaged it. We are planning for this company to undertake more work at our home once the current climate is under control. The company promised our daughter would be in her bedroom before Christmas, which promise was kept.

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.
