Excellent
Steve was very friendly and extremely professional. He ascertained the problem immediately and sorted it out with no fuss at all, sticking to his initial estimate of cost. A great service. Thank you.

Trustworthy team with highest standards
Overall we think they did a very professional job, with everything finished to a very high standard. George is a perfectionist! He really wants the very best finish. I can live with imperfections in a flat like this - but he doesn't like to leave anything looking less than perfect. He and his team were polite and friendly, and very hardworking. Also - and this is important for us - they were clean and tidy. This was a really dirty job but they took great care to cover everything to limit the horrible black plaster dust getting in, and they did a great clean up job afterwards. They were so tidy, even the rubbish bags they put downstairs until they were collected were neatly stacked. And they are trustworthy. We were happy to leave George and his team to do this work while we were overseas.

All good!
From decorating works, shed building to re-fitting a bathroom, Bhakta Builders have done great work for us. Always punctual, efficient, neat and courteous, they are a pleasure to do business with. Very reasonable quotes and very knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend them for your building and re-decorating work.

Kitchen installation. We were let down by B&Q installation service very late in the day. George from Bhatka Builders came out that evening to discuss the job and give us a quote. He was able to start the job within two weeks, fitting the start around other jobs. He dropped in most days to check progress and the inevitable snags were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The whole experience has been a pleasure: a very thorough job, lots of attention to detail, his workmen polite, conscientious and cleaning up each night. Also worked long days over one of the hottest spells of the year! The price was very reasonable as well. I'd recommend this firm to anyone.

Great work!
Thank you George and Vladimir! We used Bhakta Builders for a complete refit of a bathroom 2 years ago and are still very pleased with the result. We have since called back and they are now refitting our other bathroom. George was able to recommend his supplier which worked out both cheaper and still to the same high quality we wanted. George was very good in managing our expectations as this was our first refit; communicating and keeping in touch throughout. When a waste pipe was found to run below the old bath George and his team were able to find a way to work around this and build a shelf, instead of running up costs drilling through the wall. His team made a real effort to keep the place tidy during the work and I had no problems leaving them to get on with the work. I would recommend you are sure of what you want and to make sure you get all the pieces required so that the work can proceed as quickly as possible.

Knowledgeable and trustworthy builders
I've hired Bhakta Builders to reposition and install a few pendant lights in my flat and I can say I'm extremely happy with their work. Both George and Stephen were proficient in their trade, very friendly and trustworthy. They had a lot of attention to detail and took pride in doing the job to the highest standards possible. I would surely recommend them to anyone and will be calling them again when I have more work to be done in my flat.

Brilliant
The trader is extremely courteous, knowledgeable and respectful. They repaired all the damaged caused by a poor job by a previous trader. They conducted the complete renovation of two bathrooms. They also redecorated 2 bedrooms and 5 floors of hallway and stairwell. I could not fault the work ethic and the drive of this business. They were fantastic.

Bhakta Builders our go to builders
I have been a customer of Bhakta Builders since 2009. They have tiled three bathrooms floors, one kitchen floor and have completely transformed two hallways with Victorian encaustic floor tiles. My hallway floor looks as if it has always been there. A small kitchen was also done from scratch, with workman customising units to fit a butler sink. I have also had both inside and outside painted including plastering. Recently I had a disaster with a cracked cistern. George was the first workman I called. Wooden floor and panelling were replaced within no time. Workmanship is always of the highest standards. Most importantly, George and his workers are hard working and completely trustworthy. I have recommended Bhakta Builders to numerous friends and acquaintances who have been just as happy with the company's high standard of workmanship.

We had a new kitchen fitted recently and needed to have an area of wall tiled and another prepared for a splash-back; the kitchen was also in need of complete redecoration. We are delighted with the results - the quality of the tiling and painting is of a very high standard; we had some ugly pipes under the boiler, which now have a removable, tiled box covering them up - it looks great. We agreed a price with George, which was good value considering the meticulous preparation, attention to detail and high standard of all the work. George and his team are extremely hard working, and George has given us great advice regarding sourcing of materials. We have another house project on the horizon, and will definitely be getting George and colleagues back to sort it out.

Polite and trustworthy
They were very polite and trustworthy, which I think is very important. The work was done at a fair price. They did our kitchen a few months before and it was amazing so we got them to do our bathroom as well. The work was completed in 3 days!

My lease states that I should paint the outside of the building every five years, so I hired Bhakta Builders to do a deep repair renovation of the exterior front wall and paint it afterwards. George arranged the scaffolding and once it was up, invited me up to have a look at my roof. Turns out there was a tree growing out of the side wall and the stonework looked awful. George offered to fix all this as well and together with his colleague worked very hard long hours each day to get everything done neatly and quickly. He kept me informed at all times with phone calls and photographs. I can now sleep better at night, knowing that the roof is fixed and my flat looks fabulous on the outside. A job well done and I can wholeheartedly recommend Bhakta Builders.

Bhakta Builders are Great!
George and his team repainted, re-pointed and repaired our 4 story Victorian House comprised of 4 flats. It had not been done in many years and was in desperate need. George and his team were friendly, helpful, organised, reliable and did a fantastic job within the time-frame and costing they estimated. Their attention to detail was impressive and they consulted with us at every step about even the smallest changes and were always ensured we were happy with the work they were doing. Myself and the other freeholders were extremely impressed and pleased with the final result and I cannot recommend Bhakta Builders highly enough - they do a thoroughly professional job and are very nice people to work with.

We have had problems with damp in our house - George carefully considered the work that would be required to solve the damp problem - his team removed the plaster on two walls and applied several layers of tanking and plasterboard followed by skimming, they also skimmed around three windows that needed a tidy-up, and finished off by decorating the room with the skimmed windows/re-plastered wall. We have been so impressed by the professionalism of George and his team - the work has been completed to a very high standard and we're delighted with the results. George and his team worked over the bank holiday weekend to speed things up, and George always kept us informed as to when they would be returning and what the next steps would be - we have had some bad luck with previous builders, so it was extremely refreshing to find someone who is reliable, honest, trustworthy and hard-working. We would highly recommend Bhakta Builders to anyone, and will definitely look to use them again in the future. Thank you, George!

We were very pleased to find this firm who were prepared, unlike other local traders, to do a small fiddly decorating job for us, papering one wall and painting and renovating some ancient kitchen cabinets. The work was done to a perfectionist standard and very tidily. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and with a firm like this you can turn to them for small jobs as well as for large.

We had a particularly unpleasant building job which was providing underfloor insulation underneath our kitchen. This meant the builders climbing through a small hole and crawling through rubble and insulating under our kitchen and dining room. George and co did a great job, no grumbling, left our living space clean and tidy, and worked quickly. The insulation made a huge difference to the warmth of our kitchen so we are very appreciative of the work they did. They did a great job!

We contacted Bhakta Builders for some maintenance work on our house. This included painting, putting up shelves, cleaning tiles in the bathroom and some other minor repairs. George and his team did an excellent job, they were quick, efficient, punctual and polite. I would certainly consider hiring them for the the major renovation work we are planning in the next year or so.

George and his colleagues renovated my mother's bathroom and my lounge. Both were to a high standard and where follow up was required, they willingly came back. They were clean and tidy and generally helpful. We reviewed the costings in both cases. George kept me updated throughout.

We were very pleased with George and his team. Our house required completely new plumbing and new electrics together with a 3m ground floor extension along with a first storey half-width extension. In addition, they removed four fireplaces and re-positioned windows. They also installed our kitchen and island. Also installed two bathrooms and a WC including tiling.They removed floorboards from the first floor, then relaid them on the ground floor, sanded and varnished them. All of this work was completed to a very high standard and we are thrilled with the end result. George and his team are conscientious and trustworthy and we formed a good working relationship during this very large project.

I don't usually write reviews but I am so thrilled at the work that George and his team have done for me that I feel compelled to write a review. In this day and age it is imperative to find an excellent builder in which you can place your trust. I can wholeheartedly say that George and his team are trustworthy, reliable, polite and professional. No job seems to be too big or too small. The team are fully experienced and able to tackle any job. I have just had a kitchen, extension and downstairs cloakroom & utility room refurbishment, the list of works carried out by George and his team are just too large for me recount here but to name a few - new ceilings, new electrics inc fitting of spotlights, new electrical junction box, tiling (floors & walls), painting, plastering, plumbing, insulating floors, levelling floors & walls (my floors and walls were far from level so this took a lot of work), building a new wall, sourcing and fitting a lintel to a load bearing wall, internal to external ducting for my kitchen extractor fan and the list goes on. All work carried out by George and his team was/is to a very high standard, George's communication was fantastic he kept me informed at all times and gave me options as the job went along. I really can't praise George and his team highly enough and would be happy to recommend them and I will most certainly be using Bhakta Builders again.

George and his team renovated the inside of my flat, putting in a new bathroom, guest toilet and kitchen. This involved knocking down walls, including a supporting wall, building new stud walls and redoing the plumbing so it was an extensive job. They helped me rebuild my new bathroom the way I wanted, despite a tough technical challenge, and found an innovative solution that worked. George and his team were easy going, friendly, clean and helpful throughout. They worked well with the independent contractors (structural surveyor, electrician and building inspector). George was really good at thinking of extra details, in particular, he made some useful suggestions that significantly improved my kitchen layout. Overall, they did a great job - I've recommended them to several people as a result and will invite them back to do more work in 2016.

"We used Bhakta Builders for a 'back to brick' renovation on our Victorian Terrace in Stoke Newington. Our project included: full re-plumb, full re-wire, new kitchen, new bathroom, chimney removal, structural work, repointing, new ceilings, plastering of all walls, installation of restored radiators, floorboard sanding and restoration, new skirting throughout and painting. Rubbish removal was regular and the house was kept clean and tidy. George and Vladimir (Managing Directors) managed our expectations well throughout the project. Without a doubt, they are the most hard working, honest, reliable builders we have ever come across. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bhakta Builders.
