The price agreed stayed the same. The completed work was completed as we agreed. Anything I checked or questions asked was explained to me. Workman was quick, efficient and all cleared away, left as tidy as before they stared work.

I used Balance & Company Essex Ltd to replace some fencing and supply a new front door and to carry out electrical, plastering, redecorating and flooring work plus fitting new skirting. I received a detailed quote for the work. Everything was completed to the agreed schedule and budget including some extra work I requested. The quality of the work is excellent. All the tradesmen were punctual, reliable, professional, clean and tidy and friendly. Ongoing communication was very good and we were kept notified about the dates works would be done throughout the process. When all the work had been completed we had a slight problem with the paint finish on one wall, which started to crack. I must stress this problem was not due to the workmanship. It was an issue with the wall itself. The problem was sorted out efficiently and very quickly (within a day of me reporting it). I certainly be plan to use this company again for future work and would happily recommend it to other people.

We had a number of smaller building jobs across the house an outside (summer house), but Gary was happy to accommodate some very specific requirements over an undefined time frame. All the work was done without fuss, to a highly professional standard and each location was left clean and tidy.

The first man came and gave me a quote, and a week later they turned up to do the job. Only complaint is that they left a gate open and our dog was able to get out. We didnt know that they were going to come on the day that the did, so didnt have a chance to prepare. Very pleasant people. I was happy with the work done, all this rain has tested it and its worked.
