Balance & Company (Essex) Limited

This company can be summed up in three words. Polite, Professional, Punctual. Not only do they do the work but they also advise along the way and I would say to anybody using them to listen to what they say as in my case the end result is fantastic. I highly recommend this company and I would not hesitate to use them again.

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.

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.

vanity unit fitted with new basin & taps. Thermostatic shower mixer replaced. Bath taps replaced. Toilet siphon replaced. Work carried out to a very high standard and to the agreed schedule and budget. Requested quote for kitchen refurbishment and I gratefully received excellent advice and options which will best suit my requirements regarding this.

Serious water leak in our kitchen - we had managed to guesstimate its approximate location before I called Balance, but really had little idea of what we were dealing with. Gary got his team out very very quickly, recognising the urgency, and I have nothing but the highest praise for the work that Dave and Charlie did. They established where the leak was and whilst I had had visions of half my kitchen and flooring being removed to fix the leak, with potentially thousands of pounds of damage being caused, these absolute magicians managed to reach and fix the leak with minimal damage - just one shelf inside a cupboard unit needs replacing. Incredible! They worked so hard, and I am so grateful to them and Gary for their help. They have totally restored my faith in tradesmen, having being on the receiving end of some very dodgy workmanship a few years ago elsewhere in the property. Thank you thank you!

I had a new facia, main door and surround re-painted and the side garage door replaced with a UPVC one. Work was carried out to the specifications, and everything left clean and tidy. All workers were very polite and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend this company.

We have used this Company from approx 2018 initially 1 new floor (I could see the air bricks from inside, as floor had dropped ). His knowledge and straight talking put my mind at rest now recently 2 x New Floors, Electrical works, Room decoration, External work to house and just recently 1 x large flat roof re felted. This company has never let us down. All of his workmen very polite, know their stuff. Are on time. Always tidy up after works completed. We have never had any issues with work carried out. After using him for first time, he said any problems after work carried out, is his problem not ours!! Would definitely recommend his Company. Brilliant.

I wanted to replace an all-glass rear extension wall+sliding door with a more conventional wall/picture windows and patio doors. Balance was very helpful in suggesting best way to achieve this and produced a very smart result. Happy to recommend them and have already booked for additional works.

We had the pleasure of working with Balance & Company Essex Limited in May for our bathroom renovation, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Garry, the owner, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He is a pleasant person to deal with, always approachable and ready to address any concerns or questions we had. What truly set Garry apart was his flexibility. Among all the builders we contacted, he was the only one who agreed to take on our project before the birth of our baby. Without his commitment and willingness to accommodate our timeline, we would still be without a proper bathroom. The team from Balance & Company demonstrated the utmost respect for our home. They worked diligently without causing any disruptions and ensured that they did not leave any mess behind. Their attention to detail extended to their cleanup efforts, leaving our home just as tidy as it was before they began. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Balance & Company was the accuracy of their invoicing. There were no unexpected charges or added extras; the final invoice was exactly as quoted. This transparency and honesty in their dealings are highly commendable and gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Balance & Company Essex Limited to anyone in need of a reliable and quality builder. Their professionalism, dedication, and quality of work are unmatched.

We hired this company to carry out repairs to our leaking roof. The workmen were punctual, efficient and friendly. They completed the job in hand to our entire satisfaction, leaving us with a water tight roof.

Really pleased with the team during the process and the final result. Highly recommend the service, thank you!

Balance and Company did some fairly extensive renovations on my c19th house, replacing all front windows including bay, restoring cills and original cast iron columns, removing and replacing render to the front and gable wall of the house, installing several heli-bars in the brickwork, improving drainage around the front and side of the house, replacing plaster in exterior walls of an upstairs bedroom with drywall, and completing interior and exterior decorating. My experience with Gary was excellent from the start. Having worked for decades on houses like mine, he knew from a structural point of view what to expect when the plaster and render came off, so he was able to provide me with an extremely detailed quote that covered all of the possible problems we might encounter. This allowed me to cost various options sensibly, and the build came in precisely on budget! On a build this complex, invariably some issues will arise, but anything that did come up was dealt with swiftly and with no fuss. His team, many of whom have been with him for years, were cheerful, trustworthy, and respectful of my home. When a manufacturing defect caused a small problem with one of the upstairs windows months after the build was complete, Gary sent someone round to sort it out at no cost to me. The renovations have transformed the house. I'm delighted, and can't recommend Gary and his team highly enough.
