BHAKTA Builders Ltd

"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.

George and his excellent team have undertaken general building and decorating works for me on many occasions over the last eight years. They have renovated floors, including sanding and staining to a lovely dark finish, decorated internally to a very high standard, and five years ago externally painted our four storey Victorian semi - it's still looking good. Recently they have made an excellent and thorough job of tanking (damp proofing) our basement hallway. I have recommended him to many friends and neighbours who have been equally pleased with their work. Above all I have found him to be easily reachable by phone, conscientious and reliable. On top of all that, he and his team are also quiet, tidy and considerate, with all aspects of the job fully explained and carried out to a very high standard.

"George and Team did a great job in our house. They were reliable

"George of Bhakta Builders carried out repairs on my garage roof and filled and painted the facia board above the garage door. I am very pleased with his work and would highly recommend him to others.

George and his team of skilled tradesmen completed the renovations of my cloakroom. This included matching luxury patterned wallpaper on uneven walls, tiling a marble backsplash and fitting a new hand basin / taps /towel ring etc. The team worked long hours paying close attention to detail (George is clearly a perfectionist!) and finish and left everything clean and tidy every time they left. We are very pleased with end result and have no hesitation recommending them. Have also used George to sort a problem with the shower in a tenanted property, with quick and efficient results.

George came to see the space under my large kitchen and sitting room floor and organised two of his men to place insulation under the floor boards. This was an unpleasant job because of both the limited space and the insulation. However they did the job quickly and efficiently and cleaned up afterwards. George came back and took photos and inspected the work. I was very pleased with the result and will use them again for any future work I require. I felt they were very honest and sincere.

George and his team at Bhakta builders worked to completely refurbish a ground floor room (an old extension we had acquired) that had damp issues. They stripped the room bare, tanked the walls, layed a new timber sub floor with extra insulation ---removing and then refitting radiator---fitted a new ceiling as old one was badly damaged by water, re plastered all and finished the room with new floor, skirting board and painting and decorating. His team were extremely professional and efficient, all very pleasant to deal with and to have around. George is a very good manager and communicates with his clients very well, he was always ready to pop round and to discuss things in detail--- very hard working. The work they offered is of high standard with great attention given to details. I had a very positive experience with them and will hire them again for future home improvements, I would not hesitate to recommend them.

George and his team built a small but tricky extension for us. We live in a terraced house and they built effectively a landing extension on top of a mezzanine area to make an area for a study. This involved taking everything through our house and building scaffolding on a small back patio and back terrace and building the brickwork up from that. They didn't have much space to play with but they did everything so carefully and exceeded our expectations on that front. They built a small one story brick extension with a skylight and a big arched window. All the various people who worked on the job did a very good job - the bricklayer, the painter, the tiler, the main main who we saw almost every day for ten weeks and did all the pipework, electrics and building work. They did an excellent job, paid attention to detail, were very pleasant to have around and stuck to the brief 100%. Anything that wasn't completely right was redone or relooked at and we found George and his team to be reasonable on all fronts. At the same time, we converted a cloakroom into a shower room. This was challenging as it was not a big space. Once again, George and his team did this well, methodically, helped us find cheaper options where possible, advised us well on what to do and what not to do. (We had a detailed architect brief and drawings and they made sure to work to this closely). Overall I would say we were very happy with the quality of the workmanship on all fronts. Everyone in the team was very pleasant, had high standards and we have already recommended them to several people we know. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Their team did a number of home repairs, including putting a new roof on our garden shed, repaired our garden door, and misc painting. we were very pleased with the cost, quality of work, and the individuals who carried out the work on time.

I called George of Bhakta Builders after I was left with copious amounts of unfinished and poor quality work from previous builders. George provided me with decking, general building work and painting and decorating throughout the house. I have been very happy with the quality of work carried out, the level of communication from George and his staff and also the price. I have already called George back for some additional work and would not hesitate to recommend him!

Bhakta Builders did various work for me: re-doing all external paintwork (window surrounds and ledges, front & back doors, front porch); replacing rotten woodwork in the front porch; demolishing a brick garden shed and concrete coal bunker, and removing the rubble; repairing crumbling mortar and brickwork on rear chimney stack and around bathroom window. Also draft-proofing the front and back doors, installing a new back garden gate, installing curtain rails. George managed his team of different workers, including himself, for different tasks; they were all quietly polite, efficient and hard-working. George was very helpful in explaining options when alternative methods or materials might be cheaper or more expensive, higher or lower quality. He is keen to know what the customer wants and to ensure his team delivers quality results. He is a pleasant and friendly person to do business with and I would be happy to employ Bhakta on future work.

George and his team completed a painting and carpentry job for us. The painted bedroom looks fantastic and the four new doors and architrave were fitted very professionally. Since some of the frames were not exactly square it required a lot of hard work to fit the doors properly. I was very impressed with Baktha Builders. They are very hardworking and conscientious and even came over the weekend to complete the job. They are clean and tidy workers and I am very happy to recommend them. I shall certainly be using their servcies again.

George is a good and clean worker we would recommend him to anyone.

Very happy with the fantastic level of craftsmanship, their communication and work ethic. He was polite and always cleaned up after himself. I cannot fault him. We are very pleased with the work.

They have now completed two projects for me; one to replace a fallen ceiling and redecorate the room and the other to paint the outside of the house, including minor repairs. They are extremely thorough,keeping exactly to their proposed schedule and even returning to complete some details after the main cotract was completed.

Excellent all around builder, including plumbing & electrical. Flexible, reliable, polite & efficient. Tidy-up after each days work and final completion.
