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.

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.

Bedroom renovation - very pleased with the results
Customer Service

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.

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.

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.

Replacing problematic guttering. We have a conservatory, so they had to erect complicated scaffolding over this. They turned up when they said they were going to, work was carried out to a fantastic standard. They even did some extra work that wasn't initially agreed. Really felt they went above and beyond on our job

We have had various work done by Balance over the past year+ covering plastering, electrical, plumbing, decorating, fencing and decking. Nothing is ever a bother and Gary and all the team are professional, friendly and always punctual. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary and Balance & Co, and already have plans for the bathroom renovation next year. Gary provides detailed quotes and NEVER has tried to charge any extras despite changes along the way which can happen as projects progress. In Gary's words - "no worries".

I found Balance & Company via a Checkatrade leaflet posted through my door. By coincidence a neighbour had recently used them. They provided a prompt estimate, booked a date and carried out the work on schedule. Communication was excellent from beginning to end. The job site was kept tidy and cleaned before they left. The tradesman were polite and efficient and worked hard throughout the day. I am very happy with the standard of work and would not hesitate to use this company again. From my experience they can be thoroughly recommended.
