Charles Henderson Construction

I would strongly recommend Charles Henderson Construction for any building work because they have demonstrated that no job is too small or too big. Communication and transparency from the start of the work was outstanding. Regular updates and improvement suggestions by the company, created an amazing transformation of an outhouse. I will use them again for honesty and trustworthy.

We contracted Charles Henderson Construction (CHC) to build our single storey rear extension in 2023. From the very beginning, we were extremely impressed by the quality of service, attention to detail, organisation and communication we got from CHC, and in particular from its Director Henderson, before, during and after the project. Henderson was great at listening to what we wanted and making suggestions as to how to make it work whilst staying within budget. CHC’s pricing was transparent and we didn’t get any unexpected bills. The two things that impressed us most were the amount of time that Henderson spent on site keeping a very close eye on progress, and his willingness to discuss our requirements in detail and adapt the work accordingly. The extension was completed nearly a year ago and we are very pleased with the end result and the quality of the finish. We would definitely use CHC again for any future building work and are very happy to recommend the company to others.

I am writing to recommend the services of Charles Henderson Construction, who recently completed a large extension to our home. I am thoroughly satisfied with the work they have done and have been impressed by their professionalism, quality of work, and attention to detail. From the outset, Henderson demonstrated clear communication, providing us with a comprehensive and detailed quote and keeping us informed throughout the project. The team was punctual, respectful of our property, and always left the site clean and organised at the end of each workday. All aspects of the work where completed to a high standard. Henderson showed great problem-solving skills and a commitment to ensuring the final result met our expectations. Additionally Henderson always had time to talk with us about the project and discuss any issues in great detail, a trait that most builders lack. I would highly recommend CHC to anyone considering a home renovation or extension. Henderson’s dedication to his work is evident in the finished product, and we are extremely happy with the large addition to our home, almost doubling our space downstairs.

I engaged Charles Henderson Construction to rebuild my garage. They were not the cheapest quote I received but I was taken with the proprietor, – Henderson’s commitment to recycling where possible. The garage was in a terrible state of disrepair with a leaking roof, crumbling walls, and rotting wooden doors. Henderson and his team have completely transformed the garage with a total rebuild, retaining, and reusing original parts wherever possible. Henderson leads from the front and expects his team to follow that lead in putting the customer needs front and centre. He discussed all aspects of the build with me as we went along, providing technical advice to facilitate decisions. He looks for problems before they arise and uses his expertise and creativity to address them in advance. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charles Henderson Construction for your building projects. You will get a professional team full of technical and practical expertise led by Henderson. He will ensure you are kept fully informed as the work progresses and support your decision-making with advice and guidance as necessary. The building trade needs more Hendersons!!

05 February 2024 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Letter of Commendation for Charles Henderson Construction CHC House, 292 North Circular Road, London, NW10 0JR I am very pleased to highly recommend Charles Henderson Construction who built an extension to my property. My property when I bought it was a four-bedroom house which had had a ground floor extension previously to make the tiny kitchen more usable. That initial extension left a flat roof with all the problems that are often associated with it. I therefore applied to the council to have the property extended after living there for some time to eliminate the flat roof. I received several quotes and Henderson Construction was very competitive even though it was by no means the cheapest. I therefore decided to choose them even though I had no foreknowledge of them from the professional point of view. I was not disappointed. The team was very professional and gave my wife and I excellent service. They completed the work in a timely manner and their efficiency as well as the looks of my property at the end of their work left nothing to be desired. Indeed, the neighbours were keen to have their contact just in case they needed to carry out similar work. I am therefore happy to recommend them very highly and would not hesitate to use them again should I have any further need for such services. Yours Sincerely,

I engaged CHC to undertake the complete renovation of a severly neglected flat - including new kitchen and bathroom, new windows, new central heating system, replastering and painting walls and ceilings and installing new flooring throughout. CHC's quote included full project management of the renovation, which in my view was definitely worth paying for. I have a full-time job so the fact Henderson and his team were able to co-ordinate the works with minimal involvement from me was invaluable. At the initial site visit for the quotation, Henderson offered useful advice and recommendations, and this continued throughout the process. Communication throughout the renovation was quick and clear, and problems were raised promptly with reasonable solutions proposed. Any questions were answered properly, and photo updates were provided when requested. Big thanks to Chantelle who put up with lots of silly questions from me with professionalism and most importantly in this industry - complete honesty! I was very nervous about finding the right firm to do this work, but I am so thankful I chose CHC. The finished standard was exactly what I hoped for and the aftercare has been excellent too.

The building work which Charles Henderson Construction (CHC) was employed to convert a Garage which was attached to a semi-detached house to an Ensuite Bedroom, this included separate Toilet and Shower facilities and complete a New Fibreglass roof covering the existing Kitchen and Ensuite /Garage roofs and the tiling of the Toilet & Shower, the whole floor area. CHC teams were very considerate with facilities at the home in maintain the home by laying the necessary protection covering the carpets, and in front of the home laid boards to prevent any damage to the outside driveway before skips arrived. The Budgeted amount agreed for the work which was quoted did not change from start to completion. During the build Invoicing was done after completion of each stage of the work, and the final amount was presented after all the different agencies after completion. I had no concerns, and in all that time work was going to plan. The whole experience of employing CHC was very good with only one or two issues, and whenever this was brought to the attention of CHC, these were fixed without any fuss or problem. I can certainly recommend CHC as a builder who respect the Customer property and working areas, ensuring that the build was made on time and to Budget. After each day’s work, the team ensured that the building was secure on completion of each working day. On completion of the conversion a beautiful new room(s) was created by CHC and his staff. Thank you,CHC.

New open plan kitchen Henderson came highly recommended to me, and I can highly recommend his company to you. I wanted my ground floor (small kitchen, hallway, living room) opened up to give us more space. I relied on Henderson’s advice for a new open plan kitchen and living area. He advised us on the best use of the space we had available, and his advice was spot on. The CHC team are highly skilled professionals. They worked extremely hard for us and to a very high standard. Their attention to detail was excellent. They were always punctual and polite, and were fun to have around. Any unforeseen obstacles were swiftly figured out and sorted. Henderson visited our house throughout this project, he was easily contactable, and was always on top of the project. The finished work was perfect. I want to give a big thank you to the fantastic CHC team.

CHC did the rebuilding work in our kitchen and made a small utility room and ground floor toilet for us in our home in West Ealing. between April 2023 and June 2023. The owner of the company, Henderson, project managed the works. He made frequent visits to the site ensuring that the work was completed correctly. As a project manager Henderson was extremely personable, caring and understanding. Early on in the work there was a possible structural difficulty. Henderson took the issue extremely seriously, was very careful to sort it out and he sought advice from his structural engineer before taking any action. He kept us informed about all of this process. We really appreciated his careful, considered and calm approach to this issue. All the team working for the company were quiet, respectful and efficient, producing work of very good quality. We are happy to recommend CHC and will use them again if need be in the future. Sincerely Martin and C.F. Jarvis.
