Classic Construction Limited T/A BAR Preservation

We needed a new lintel above an unusual window arrangement. A site survey was carried out on the date and time specified. A price and date for the work were agreed. Due to no fault of their own, the work was delayed. We were kept informed and up to date with everything. The work was carried out in a professional way. The workmen cleaned up brilliantly and left things tidy

BAR recently completed a program of work for me on a tenanted property. They gave a very clear survey, reassured the tenant about the work they would be undertaking, covered surrounding areas with sheeting and cleaned up after the job. They were easy to get hold of to ask questions, communicated clearly about timeframes and their correspondence was clear and easy to understand. I’d have no hesitation using them again or recommending them. 5*

Bar Preservation were helpful and informative at every stage of the job, which was to resolve a small amount of rising damp. The work was done on time, neatly and efficiently, at a reasonable price, and backed up by a 10-year guarantee. I could not have been happier to find a trustworthy and professional firm in the building trade. Customer in Sale, Cheshire

Installation of Cintec ties and installation of steel beams to secure inner and outer leaves of the stonework. Very professional service throughout. We required a quick repair to assist with the sale of our property, BAR Preservation were so helpful and quick to get the work done at a reasonable price. All the staff have been really helpful and James and Dave who worked onsite, kept us updated on progress. Due to a hitch the scaffolding was delayed by a few days, James and Dave did the work they could without the scaffold, then worked over the weekend once the scaffold was up to complete the job for us. Extremely tidy workers, always left everything clean and tidy. I would certainly recommend this company for structural work. Thank you.

Replaced joists, floor and skirting boards, removed old fireplace, re-plastered. Very good experience from start to finish from initial survey report to invoicing. All done promptly. Work completed to time, punctual arrival, trustworthy and hard working - left them the run of the house all week - and they cleaned up the mess daily. Workmanship at a high level. Would recommend.

Asked them for a survey, carried out the survey and quickly quoted. Price was reasonable and booked in and carried out correctly with great communication throughout, would definitely recommend.

BAR Preservation were efficient in terms of both review of the work, assessment of the work to be undertaken and then completion of the work. The operatives showed up on time, were very efficient in the works that they completed and were very tidy in cleaning up afterwards. During the completion of the work, I felt confident of their skills in completing the works. All in all, a good job done.

Bar Preservation completed our damp course on 25/3/22. The two workmen were very professional. They kept me updated with everything they were doing and were very pleasant. They left the property tidy each day. They were at my property for 5 days. They replastered the walls, refitted the radiators. Put a channel in all around the property for drainage. The outside looked neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend Bar Preservation.

The company communicated well responding to emails etc promptly. I was able to get the Job booked in quickly and they actually reduced the quote when they realised it would not take as long as first anticipated. The 2 workers who came to do the job arrived on time and were pleasant and hard-working, completing the work quickly and to a high standard. Really pleased with what they did.

This company was recommended to me. They came to assess the property promptly and their assessor was very professional and helpful. The information prior to the work being done was clear and well structured. The team that came to do the work arrived on time and were quiet and efficient. The two days they were here they left the room very clean and tidy, being particularly careful of the carpet. They were helpful and considerate and very polite. The work was completed to a very high standard and the final cost was as quoted and I felt value for money. I would have no hesitation in using them again.

The DPC was completed on time and on budget. Workers arrived on time on the date agreed to commence the job and completed work to our satisfaction. They were professional and considerate and made sure the site was clean and tidy on completion. As a result we are happy to recommend Bar Preservation.

Bar Preservation replaced numerous rotten timbers in my old terraced house. The jobs was large and complex but they handled it extremely well. Communication was perfect at all times, workers were honest and hard working and would highly recommend the company! Not a bad word to say about them.

They came, they quoted, they did the job, they left. Couldn't fault them, kept me informed all the time, turned up when they said they would and finished the botch jobs that the previous owner had left. Would recommend.

Bar Preservation carried out a survey on a basement. They itemised the works well and gave options that could be carried out. The works were completed in a timely manner and kept me informed of any variations or issues that they came across during the works.

We had a damp and timber survey carried out. Very professional company and good communication. Very helpful surveyor who gave lots of advice. Damp works completed on time and to a high standard. Many thanks

We were so pleased with Paul Dave and Gaz with how they completed the work.Hardly any mess considering it was dampproof in 2 rooms. They cleaned everything after them. Even to the point of getting on their hands and knees cleaning the tiles on the kitchen floor. The only thing you can tell we have had a damp course is there is no wallpaper on. Will recommend these guys to anyone

I used this company to install a new Damp proof course and wall ties. They turned up as scheduled and carried out the work to a high standard . They kept the disruption to a minimum and were very clean for such a messy job. The lads who carried out the work, Leon, Wayne and Reece, explained the process to us and we’re very efficient in their work . All work was completed on time . I would definitely recommend this company for their high standards of workmanship which all come with a guarantee. And I will definitely be getting more work done from Bar Preservation.

I would 100% recommend this services. Job done on time Good communication Really quick providing reports and invoices

The experience with BAR Preservation has been seamless from start to finish. Each aspect of the job from survey to completion happened on time and with the minimum of fuss. The workmen were friendly, tidy and trustworthy and explained everything they had done upon completion. The house was left beautifully clean and tidy.

"My son had two areas damp proofing work done on his house, a number off years ago. He is now selling and the survey found issues why the work had been done. My son asked them to check under guarantee which they asked for £100 deposit which would be refunded if an issue was found. I thought was a bit high. I was there when John Longdin from this company came. He took some damp measurements which showed a high reading in some off the areas they had done. He blamed on salts in the plaster because my son had not had the wall re plastered. The area under the stairs had no plaster and was also showing damp readings. He did not actually inspect the work. The deposit was not refunded! I asked a local experienced plasterer to redo the plaster where the damp course had been done. On removing the old plaster he found no holes in the mortar in which J Longdin had said the work would have been done. He felt that no work had been carried out there and that was possibly why there were still issues. I informed Bar preservation, and they denied this but did offer to redo the work. I thought it would not be unreasonable for their operative to re-examine the work and if agreed that it had not been done they should give my son his deposit back. They flatly refused to give any monies back and also flatly refused to let the tradesman comment on their previous work to the point of it being a condition of them redoing the work that I did not ask their tradesman to make any comment. Very disappointed.

I have used Bar Preservation several times. This job involved renewing rotten floor joists and treating the total area. From the initial examination and quote to the completion of the job, they explained what the problem was, the extent, the work required and kept me informed throughout. The work was done to schedule and all was made neat and tidy. The floor is now solid and I can move on with other repairs.

I choose this company on the basis of reading previous reviews and the range of specialist work they carry out. So thought I would leave a review of my own experience. Everyone I came into contact with was a credit to the company, from John the surveyor who explained everything and promptly answered follow up emails to May and Reece who were the lead contractors on site for a week's work replacing floor joists and timbers following wet rot, injection of dpc and replastering. Nothing phased them. They were pleasant, thorough, efficient and cleaned up each day. From our point of view things went as smoothly as possible considering the scale of the work. I would highly recommend this company.
