BHAKTA Builders Ltd

Bhakta Builders completed an extensive ground floor side/rear kitchen extension project and the creation of an ensuite bathroom to master suite. The project took 5 months, we lived on site during this time. Bhakta built to a high eco spec, involving the formation of structural opening, external groundwork, foundations, all steels, timbers and lintels, an insulated concrete floor, building a timber pitched roof including fitting timber composite, triple glazed windows, a flat roof to hold a lantern rooflight, fitting triple glazed French doors and a feature picture window, all drainage, plumbing, electrics, UFH, tiling, decorating and fitting a made-to-measure wooden kitchen. The ensuite included stud walls, pocket door systems, plumbing, electrics, fitting of bathroom shower suite, tiling, and decorating. We were very impressed with the site team. They were punctual, polite, respectful, and conscientious, and worked hard every day, in all weathers. We saw the trades at work, it was evident that they were skilled professionals who took pride in their work. The site was tidied/secured every day, and they did their best to work around us discreetly. Whilst the job was complex and some issues did arise, Bhakta team always worked hard to find solutions. There was regular communication with the management, we spoke to them daily, and they were quick to respond to queries. The build is finished to a high standard; we are very pleased, and happy to recommend Bhakta Builders.

We had a very positive experience with Bhakta Builders (management and on-site builders) from the initial consultation through to the snagging at the end of the job. Our job lasted around one year and we found Bhakta very easy to work with and also very responsive to our calls, emails and texts. We found them to be honest and direct about costs and options so no hidden surprises at the end of the job. The quality of the workmanship was very good and we are very pleased with the outcome, it's not cheap but the work is of a high standard and carried out in accordance with the relevant building regulations. We would recommend Bhakta Builders, and are happy with what they have done for us so far. We would not hesitate to contact them again for future work. The project consisted of the following work: Single story rear extension, garage conversion, new plumbing, new electrics, underfloor heating, insulation of parquet floor, external groundwork (3 metres deep), kitchen and bathroom fittings, painting and decorating, all fittings and fixtures, carpentry, internal bi-fold door fitting, fence posts and fencing, patio, as well as insulation of sky lights. Thank you Bhatka :-)

We asked Bhakta to redo the kitchen, bathroom and flooring. Due to material related delays, the schedule was pushed out, but I was very impressed with the efficiency and quality of the work. They are an honest group of builders and put quality first. They gave their advice, what can and can’t be done in their experience and I appreciated this. Where there were some areas of the flat that could be improved like where the sink plug wasn’t working or silicon added to the edges of the worktop they came back to the site to fix this in a timely manner. I would recommend Bhakta for their emphasis on quality craftsmanship.

We had a list of remedial work from roof to basement and redecorating before putting our house on the market. All in all it took the best part of a year, with breaks in between. The quality of the work done was good and the crews who came in were pleasant to have in the house. I would recommend these builders, although they won’t be your cheapest quote.

George and his team work hard for you. He works hard for his people as well and it shows in the work that they do. The company cares about more than just getting the work done, but rather in how the work is done. Things did not always go according to plan but a quick, open, chat with George would resolve the matter quickly. They are not afraid to admit a mistake and to resolve it. More than that, they often go above and beyond what was asked. For example, they installed a bath under our shower free of charge as a present to our new baby. The only real negative was that the cost of the materials wasn't clear at the start and it was more than I had anticipated. If you can define this up front so you can have a full picture and you're happy with the price then you should definitely hire them. I have had a few builders on various houses over the years and George and his team have definitely been great builders. When people ask you "can you recommend a good builder?", I can confidently say "Yes, Bhakta Builders, talk to George."

Bhakta Builders managed and oversaw new double glazing for 2 non-standard fit wooden sash windows, decorating and painting as well as building new shelf unit. This is the 2nd project they have finished for me, and I can really recommend their worksmanship and professionalism. Work has been completed to a very high standard within budget, with George keeping me up to date on any issues and challenges on the way. I also really appreciated the honest review of the budget. I always knew where i was in terms of budget and timeline. I found Bhakta Builders offer polite and considerate service, and expert workmanship.

We fully renovated our flat in Kensington from October 21' to February 22'. Bhakta did an spectacular job, in an incredibly tight timeframe of only 5 months. Both Vlad and George were extremely dedicated, and we really weren't the easiest clients. Our flat is on the 3rd floor of the building, we were particularly picky about all finishes and we often changed our minds throughout the project about all sorts of elements (e.g. layout of the bathroom) - a nightmare for any project manager. The Bhakta team managed to not only accommodate it all, do an incredible job and finish it on time but they also gave us so many thoughtful inputs and helped us make all the right decisions when we were confronted with surprises (typical London Victorian building). Our family is so grateful for the dream home they helped us build and for all the hard work, attention to detail, and good vibes that they brought to the project. They are our forever go-to builders in London! --- The project included: full renovation of the kitchen (cupboards installation included) and bathroom, painting and decoration of the whole flat, removal + installation + levelling of the entire floor of the flat, wall tanking, removal of a wall, installation of wardrobes and storage, changing of all pipes, full rewiring of the flat, full lighting project, changing of all doors and doorframes, relocation of doors, and more.

Had George and his team fully refurbish my elderly parent's main bathroom in their old victorian house back in April. Excellent service and perfect communication from start to finish. Being an old house the project threw up many changes and extra work which George and his team handled effectively and efficiently no matter how big or small, no problem! someone was on site every single day and worked according to my parents' requirements and needs. Everything was completed in good time and to a very high standard. Quality finish. Cannot recommend them enough. Would not hesitate to use them again! In fact, I have some projects pencilled in for next year! Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5.

George, Vlad and the team from Bhakta Builders were brilliant when we were renovating our Victorian London home. They always gave great advice, and the work they completed was to a high standard and to the agreed budget set at the beginning. There were ongoing communications with them throughout the works, always letting us know where they had got to that day, along with photos. You can tell they are genuinely proud of the work they do and I would use them again. On top of this, they were always willing to give experienced advice when we had any DIY questions - even a month after they had completed their work. Highly recommended.

I had worked with George and his team helping to manage a larger project and was impressed by the standard of their work in difficult circumstances, the company's attention to detail and George's willingness to communicate. When I had a smaller project of my own, I knew that I could trust that the work would be done properly and to my satisfaction and that any unexpected problems would be managed carefully. I am now considering further work and very much value George's opinion and input on what is needed.
