Total upgrade
Total exterior upgrade to the house including gutters and fascias. Also replaced and modernised our last century kitchen to an up-to-date gem. Commissioned work done across the summer. High-quality workmanship by experts. Costs are always managed and discussed. Gary has an eye for evaluating just what will provide the best value and that is something special. The new porcelain floor in the kitchen spotlights to the ceiling and exterior night lights are all pleasing to the eye and add value. Couldn't be happier with the work done and the transformation of a shabby property into something I feel prouder to exhibit.

Gary and his team repaired an outbuilding for myself. Their work was of a great standard, was done in good time. I would recommend Balance & Co to anyone as they are very trustworthy. They were so helpful and reassuring and professional. Many thanks.

Excellent Job
Had them out before and they put in a window previously which was excellent. This time round was to put some wallpaper in for me in a real tight spot in the downstairs toilet, and also did the bedroom wall which was completed fantastically. Not an easy job and other traders didn't want to do it but they completed to satisfaction.

Repairing Garage Inspection Pit
The work was to fill in the inspection pit that had partially collapsed. They professionally reviewed the damaged pit and detailed the required work (draining the pit, filling it with hardcore and topping with concrete). The work was carried out in a professional manner and the site was left tidy. The staff were amiable and fitted into our situation. This was the second time that we had used them and were not disappointed.

Renovation following a house fire
We had a house fire causing heat damage and a lot of smoke damage. Gary assessed the damage and provided a very clear explanation of the work that would be required, and produced a detailed and competitive quote for the proposed works that was accepted by the insurance company. Gary and the guys that did the work were very friendly and the work itself was completed to a high standard, and we were delighted with it. Best of all, the quote provided was very accurate, and the work was completed very swiftly. I would be very happy to use them again and recommend them to others!

Professional and clean, tidy, helpful
The whole team from start to finish were a joy to do business with. We knew exactly what we wanted and everything was agreed upfront before they started. Our bathroom my most houses it’s quiet small but we had big ideas to make this a luxury bathroom on a small budget. We were given alternative ideas and the fact we were ordering our suite from another supplier didn’t faze them at all, they just worked around the delivery times. Hayden arrived and although young in appearance worked like a steam train on full chat, he never stopped except to have the occasional drink. He was extremely respectful , helpful and a delight to have around what he did on any given day mattered. Tidiness was a key word for him. The plastering and pipe re-routing, and ceiling re-modelling was done by Haydon & Chas & Dave (gercha) yes I know but these guys were very entertaining and just so professional and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble they answered my questions and when I ordered the wrong toilet they explained why and help me obtain the wrong one which was cheaper than the one I had previously ordered. The whole job from start to finish was done in the most professional way extremely tidy and knowledgeable team. I recommend this company wholeheartedly.

Efficient & Professional
I have just had my 2 bedroomed flat fully redecorated including en-suite, bathroom & long hall. Was totally impressed by everything - turning up on time to quote for job & quote by email received following day. The date was agreed & a very helpful decorator turned up to do the job & completed it in the time given - no mean feat as the building lift was out of order during the duration & as I am on 3rd floor meant a lot of carrying up & down. He was excellent all round moving furniture & taking curtains up & down as well as fixing two nasty cracks in the wall & doing an excellent job of the painting.

Very satisfactory experience
We were very pleased with the work carried out by Balance & Co. We had a detailed quote before the job commenced and once accepted the work started without delay. The work was carried out in a professional and efficient manner, the builders were competent and friendly, and the site was left in a tidy condition when the job was completed. Any small problems were dealt with immediately and satisfactorily.

Great company, Great work and Great people!
I’ve had Balance & co to do work twice now and cannot fault them in any way. Everything is explained clearly, nothing is too much trouble for them and the work completed is brilliant. The people who work for them are great, friendly and take great pride in their work which shows. I have another project and will definately be using Balance, they’ll have pretty much done my whole house, and I couldn’t be happier I had them complete the work. Would absolutely recommend them to everyone for anything they need doing.

Garden improvements
Balance & Company executed several building projects in my garden. They included: creating a large patio; making (bespoke) and hanging traditional style timber doors; outside electrical power and lighting installations; and foundations for a shade sail. All aspects of the work were efficiently planned and executed. I am delighted with the results. Customer care featured throughout. I was kept well informed and the person having overall responsibility was always easy to contact. The completed projects were handed over to me with the words "If you find any problems with what we have done just call me and I'll be back to put things right". The entire process, from initial site meeting to handover, left me feeling that this company can be trusted.
