Bush Builders - Highly Recommended

Dave and the Bush Builders team did a great job of building our kitchen extension enabling us to transform our cooking and living space. The team are highly skilled with a wealth of experience. The construction and finishes are of a high standard and we are very pleased with the results. From our first interactions with Dave he instilled confidence in us that he understood what we were trying to achieve. Our plans changed several times through the COVID period meaning that the time from our initial contact to actually starting the work was extended beyond our original plans. Dave amended plans accordingly and we never felt rushed into making a decision. Work commenced on time and each of the trades people were respectful of our property and excellent on their field. I cannot speak highly enough of Dave and the team. Highly recommended.

House extension

Due to my wife suffering a spinal injury, we had to have our home extended to accommodate a wet room, and a dining room, as our existing dining room is now my wife's living room. We had no idea which builders to use in order get this work done, but after reading reviews on this site and also Redbridge Councils list of approved builders, we decided to go with Bush Builders. We are so happy that we chose Bush Builders. Dave and Ricky Bush were easy to deal with and the team they put together to do the work were excellent. They designed the work using their vast experience in the building trade which we appreciated very much. My wife's occupational therapist was impressed with the design of the wet room which meets all of my wife's needs. I would recommend Bush Builders to anyone we will be using them again for future projects.

Large house extension, perfect builders

We tasked Bush Builders to build our large extension and they done this perfectly, to budget and bascially to time as well, even through covid and material cost increases etc) The entire team are knowledgable, punctual and efficient and even changes made by us were no real problem and they are a great honest team who we have enjoyed to have around. We would have no problem recommending them for any works that you need doing, our project was a large one but they have the team in place to handle any job that you need completing with no problem at all.

Large house extension and complete renovation

We bought our new home with the plan to completely renovate it and do a large two storey side and large single storey rear extension. After getting the plans drawn up and planning permission granted we spoke with 6 builders and we quickly narrowed it down to Dave as the one we wanted to go with. We felt comfortable with him, he seemed honest, straight forward and easy to talk to. The major work started in December , they worked through the snow that Christmas navigated all the problems with covid and building supplies. It was pretty much finished in the summer of 2021. We couldn’t be happier with the way it finished and it was just what we wanted. Dave was able to solve quite a few problems along the way simply through his years of experience but always kept us informed. He even managed to save us several thousand pounds after speaking with the planning officer (in person) and agreeing to a minor change to the depth of the foundations. Top man. I would highly recommend him and all of the guys that work for him. Definite five stars

We needed help from Dave and his team following some issues we had with our local council and the building inspector we had engaged from Assent Building Control. Dave went above and beyond to help us - and all at his own expense and also while he was on holiday. We have only positive things to say about Bush Builders and we really couldn’t have negotiated with the council without his help.

Superb builders and incredible ongoing support 4 years on

You really cannot go wrong when choosing Bush Builders for your project. Quality, price, responsiveness, friendliness of the team and ability to deliver on schedule are all first class. It's nearly 4 years since Dave and his excellent team completed a 2 storey home extension for us but the ongoing support and help Dave has and continues to provide since completing the job is worthy of another review. The quality of Bush Builders work is top class and you can rest assured that once the job is completed Dave will not walk away. Having that comfort and support from knowing he is there on hand should you need anything related to the job, really is invaluable. During the job, Dave was the most responsive tradesperson I've ever dealt with and that has continued even now during COVID and incredibly busy periods. He always returns calls 4 years later even though he really has zero obligation to do so, which cannot be said for many builders. He often arranges for the original team to return should we need any additional work and it's always great to see old faces once again! We will continue to use Bush Builders for any work going forward and have strongly recommended Dave to friends and family.

I just completed a house renovation with Bush Builders. It included everything from kitchen to bathrooms, to removing walls, new flooring, painting, etc. Upfront, I was provided with an itemised budget for each piece of work we wanted completed. We were still on budget at the end of the project. The communication from the team was great. Throughout the process they called/messaged regularly with updates and to ask questions before completing work if they were unclear of what I wanted. Overall, it was a great experience, the house looks great, and I would recommend them.

Bush Builders have been a pleasure to work with and their work is outstanding. They managed our single story extension and fitted our new kitchen whilst re-decorating our home as well. Having building work on such a large scale was scary for me and my wife however Dave, Ricky, Dan, Julian, George, Vern, Sam and Phil (sure I am missing a lot of the team) made the experience effortless. They were always on hand to help and were very professional. With a 12month old son they also worked around our needs and made sure our day to day living was not impacted. The finishing on the work was fantastic and I could not highly recommend them enough. Truly an honest team that is rare to find.

Happy home renovation

Bush builders helped with our house renovation. We needed a new plumbing system, boiler and radiators, new electrics and electrical board, all walls and ceilings plastered, a new bathroom, kitchen, a hatch for our loft and all new carpentry. Bush builders were very reliable and easy to get hold of. They contacted us within a day when we enquired about the job and came to our house to give us a quote very quickly. Dave and his brother were very honest about what work was needed and what would be best for now and for the future as we would like to extend in a year or so. When they started the work, they were very quick and the work was completed in the time scale they told us. If anything needed to be changed during the work, the team were quick to change things for us to make sure we were happy. If decisions hadn’t been made by us, they checked with us before doing the job, which we really appreciated. The tiling, plastering and carpentry work has been done to a very high standard. We’re really pleased with how the house has come together. Definitely recommend them!

We are so pleased we chose Dave and his team to complete our work. We had an extension built to house a new kitchen and then our old kitchen was converted into a separate downstairs loo and utility room. From start to finish the team have been excellent and the quality of work is very high. We were quite apprehensive about starting the project but any concerns or questions we had were dealt with quickly and it has been very straightforward. The whole team are very skilled and take real care in what they doing. Special mention though to Dan, George & Julian who did the kitchen fitting and internal work - it looks so good. I would say also that the quote for the work we had was both competitive and clearly set out so we knew exactly what we were paying for. If we need a builder in the future we know where to come !
