BHAKTA Builders Ltd

After reading positive reviews we contacted Bhakta Builders who were able to provide a free quote for extensive refurbishment and repairs to a building exterior- guttering, window frames, re-pointing and roof of a residential and commercial property. George was able to provide a reasonable quote, whilst also alerting us to the likelihood of further work necessary than we had anticipated. As the job evolved, George was able to keep us informed of works necessary with pictures and communication via WhatsApp and phone calls. He was extremely dedicated in his approach to the job, which was complicated as it involved him liaising with our surveyor and tenants and providing required paperwork in a timely fashion, as well as managing the changing work on site. The quality of the work is excellent, as is George’s ability to manage his business whilst thinking of our interests and seeking to save us money where possible. We highly recommend him and his helpful team.

Bhakta Builders removed old aluminium sash window that was 30 years old and replaced them with new bespoke wood sash windows in a bedroom and bathroom. They were excellent and did a very high-quality job. We had other quotes that were cheaper but George (the business owner) and his team were by far better value overall. The windows were beautifully crafted and finished, and the sash mechanisms very smooth with high-quality brass fittings. His team are very skilled, work to high standards, and were very hard working. The windows were very well fitted and installed. George was very clear about what we could expect particularly working on a 100-year-old Edwardian house and needing to cut into bathroom tiles, alerting us to potential problems in advance, and promptly attended to and resolved our concerns. The results were great and I would highly recommend Bhakta Builders.

We worked with Bhakta Builders and an independent structural engineer to remove an internal wall on the ground floor. Vladimir coordinated the original work and helped confirm that the wall was non-load bearing. Once that was confirmed, George finalised the scope of work and provided us with the fee quote. Bhakta then removed the wall, painted and redecorated to leave the ground floor looking in excellent condition. We felt the price was reasonable, the work was carried out as swiftly as possible (given the circumstances) and we felt at each stage as though they really listened to us and helped us achieve the best outcome. We would highly recommend their service.

We needed to have the wall at the front of our property rebuilt after a bad experience with a previous builder left us with our wall demolished and no wall between our property and the pavement. Bhakta Builders were willing to help quickly, however, due to my ill-health the work was postponed till I had recovered. We asked them to build a brick wall topped with our original coping stones, which they agreed to clean, fill and paint. The work was done professionally and we are very happy with the completed work. There was no overrun on the budget, and the price was reasonable. The pavement was always left clean and tidy after each working day. Bhakta Builders were polite, helpful and professional. Communication has been by WhatsApp, email and phone and we have always been kept fully informed, as well as regularly consulted as to whether the work is proceeding satisfactorily. We are happy to recommend Bhakta Builders.

After reading excellent reviews about the Bhakta Builders, we were pleased to receive a favourable estimate for some exterior renovation works to our building. The work started and completed within the agreed timeline. His team were polite, thorough and even managed a difficult neighbour to get the work done. They arrived promptly at 8 am and did not leave until the work finished to their satisfaction. George was with them most of the time and provided detailed information about any issues identified with photographic evidence - for example cracks on the roof that we could not see prior to works starting. He provided detailed suggestions and associated costs for such essential repair, and came up with excellent, cost effective solutions to some other remedial work. We are most happy with the quality work. We would wholeheartedly recommend Bhakta Builders.

Once again George and his hard working team undertook high quality exterior work on our Victorian house involving exterior renovation, repairs and decorating, replacement of all gutters and fascia, chimney repointing, roof repairing, cleaning and sealing. His team were unfailingly tidy and polite with Richard the painter being a pleasure to have working round the house. We were kept constantly informed of progress and of any unexpected additions to the schedule and of unforeseen costs. We have used Bhakta on quite a few occasions over the last 12 years and would recommend them highly for any job.

George and his team are a lovely bunch of guys. Friendly, generous, hardworking and trustworthy. George was always available for us to ask questions and was great at finding affordable solutions to the inevitable unforeseen issues with Victorian properties! They did a great job at our flat - we had a new kitchen, bathroom and full rewire. We will be getting back in touch when we are ready to refurbish our living room and hallway!

We had our bathroom rennovated by Marek, from George's team, and he transformed it from a tired, jaded bathroom from the past, to a beautiful modern room. Marek did the impossible, by re-plumbing all the pipes so that they were all concealed, either under the floorboards or in the walls and the final look is sleek and modern. George sent me lots of different websites for fixtures and fittings which were reasonably priced, and suggested reconfiguring the position of the fixtures, which we hadn't even thought was possible, considering the room is quite small. This required some exterior work which resulted in George having to source bricks which were in keeping with the existing brickwork, and the result is great. Marek worked incredibly hard for two weeks solid, and we are thankful to him for all his hard work, the bathroom has exceeded all expectations. We have used Bhakta builders before and would highly recommend them - they are professional, highly skilled, friendly, very hard working and do jobs to a very high standard.

Recreated a bathroom by ripping out all the existing fittings and framework and putting in new walls, floor and bathroom fittings. On the whole the work was done to agreed schedules and budget. When unforeseen problems arose, as is inevitable with old houses, we were given sound advice about the options and costs. The workmanship and professionalism were outstanding. There was regular communication and advice about fittings, accessories and different options. The work included electrical work and painting and decorating. George was always accessible and willing to discuss any issues that concerned us. We are very happy with out new bathroom.

We engaged Bhakta builders to refurbish our kitchen/dining area. We were apprehensive as we knew the building work would be disruptive and messy and it was! Although the job grew as more repairs were identified, it was reassuring knowing the builders were able to address these. All things considered, we couldn’t have wished to meet nicer guys who work for Bhakta builders -they are courteous, considerate and intelligent. They made the whole experience as tolerable as possible. Vladimir & George are very knowledgeable and experienced and a great source of information, especially when decisions need to be instant. We would use this professional company again.
