C L Developments

Charlie recently rebuilt our outdoor decking, with lighting and railings. Redid our fencing, painting the panels black, added festoon lighting fitting outdoor sockets to run these off from our outhouse and finally built us an outdoor kitchen with storage. Not only is Charlie detail orientated, organised, knowledgeable, he’s efficient. All of the above tasks were completed in 3 weeks, a few requests changed throughout the project and Charlie was very accommodating. Couldn’t recommend CL Developments more - a pleasure to work with.

Charlie did several jobs at our home, our downstairs toilet, a plastered hallway with re-modelled staircase and a complete re-insulation of a bedroom above a garage, which required a new floor and ceiling with hard foam insulation installed. This work was done on time and to the agreed schedule. Charlie's work was done to a very high standard and the finished rooms looked fantastic. The work on the staircase needed a really high skill level and attention to detail and it looks brilliant. Charlie was very polite and offered lots of suggestions before the work started which was really helpful in helping us decide how we wanted the work to proceed. We would highly recommend Charlie to anyone that needs a builder.

Charlie, of CL Developments, did a cracking job at replacing our terribly sad garden decking. It wasn’t the easiest ground profile to work with, however he did just that and we now have a lovely new Deck. Thank you Charlie.

My wife and I wanted a media wall built and general freshen up of the living room in general. Charlie’s work exceeded all expectations. His attention to detail and general thoroughness was surprising having had other tradesmen in the past not work at this standard. Couldn’t recommend enough.

After the excellent work completed earlier this year we asked Charlie to decorate our house from top to bottom, inside and out. This also included some repair to window surrounds, bamboo flooring, thresholds, bathroom cabinet replacement and boxing in, paving slab refitting, lead flashing, tile vent installation and liaison with building control to finish off work started by another builder who let us down. All of this done with the utmost professionalism, cheerful outlook and no problem is too big attitude. Whilst we considerably added to the initial task list, Charlie was always fair and transparent with costing We would have no hesitation in recommending Charlie as a professional honest builder.

Charlie completely renovated two of our bedrooms and a living room, including skimming the walls, replacing all woodwork, rewiring and decorating. He did a great job - the finish is excellent and he was very obliging and accommodating of shifting requirements. He always arrived when he said he would and was a pleasure to have around. Highly recommend.

Charlie completely refurbished our bathroom, taking out all the old fittings and tiles and replacing the floor and redecorating. We also asked him to do a few extra bits and pieces in the bedroom next door which he was happy to do. Charlie is a methodical and organised builder who tells you what he is going to do, what it is going to cost and how long it is going to take, and then sticks to it. Can't recommend him highly enough. His work is of a high quality and we certainly intend to use him again.

Charlie re-plastered my kitchen ceiling due to a water leak, and redecorated my hall. Charlie worked in my house three years ago due to substantial damage caused by an underfloor water leak. I therefore had no hesitation in asking him back as that job was done to very high standards. Charlie also identified a further growing small crack in the plaster which he ensured would not return with additional securing. He also found other small faults which he undertook within the original quote. Charlie is a consummate professional. His work is to a very high standard, and he is clearly an expert in his field. He makes every effort to clear up after the working day - apart from the impact of seeing what he has achieved, you would not know he has been in the house at all. Charlie is pleasant, trustworthy (I left him my key as was away for a few days when the work was carried out) and flexible to the needs of the client. I would have no hesitation in asking him back when further work is required and recommend him highly.

Charlie helped us renovate our master bedroom which involved: - removing and remodeling a stud wall large cupboard/wardrobe - moving and adding power sockets and light switches - wiring in new wall lights - moving ceiling light - full room plaster including smoothing off an artex ceiling and deep cracks in the old plaster We are so pleased with the work that Charlie has done. He started on schedule (as we booked him in a few months in advance) and kept us updated in the run up to the works beginning. He is very knowledgeable about what would work best and asked questions about things we hadn't considered. He worked really quickly and just got on with it, tidied up nicely at the end of each day, and the finished product was perfect. Having renovation work done can be really stressful; especially dusty plastering and electrics, but we never felt like we were living in a building site with mess left everywhere. It was all really tidy and stress-free. Great finish, all turned out exactly how we wanted. We wouldnt hesitate to use Charlie again.

I am so pleased with the workmanship and creativity. Charlie could have just replaced the cladding in the same way it had been put up before; but he took extra time and trouble. The result looks so much better than it did before. His attention to detail, workmanship, and professionalism was very much appreciated. He tidied everything at the end of each day. He has worked on my house before plastering internally and rendering external walls and completely replacing my patio. I cannot recommend him highly enough and l will be asking to complete further work next year.
