Futureways Design and Build

We hired Glenn and his team at Futureways to carry out a complex build for us. We live in a semi-detached house with a garage on the side. We were bringing our garage forward making it a habitable utility room. We then joined the garage to our house by the use of an internal door between the two and also extended at the back of the house and removed a lot of internal load-bearing walls and a chimney breast. Glenn was so helpful on this project coming around regularly before even the planning was granted to help us with the possible design options to get the most from the space. All of this without charge. After about a year of planning regs and everything getting approved and several visit from Glenn, who came round whenever we asked, we chose him as the builder. He was brilliant on dealing with all the building regulations and structural engineers. As we were taking down most of the internal walls we had various large steels that had to go into the property and Glenn dealt with this amazingly and organised it all. He only asked for payment as and when he needed to buy the materials. If anything didn't work out or go to plan Glenn would always be able to come up with a workaround or a way to fix it and make it work, which I think you only get that sort of thing with very experienced builders with a lot of years behind them and when they have seen lots of builds in their time! I would highly recommend Futureways and Glenn for any of your building requirements, big or small.

After 27 years the old felt flat roof over the garage and porch started to leak and needed replacing before serious damage occurred. November/December is not the best time to remove and replace a flat roof considering the vagaries of the British climate. I had seen some other building and roofing work that Glen and Rheiner had accomplished and I was keen for them to do my roof. The quotation was competitive so they were engaged to carry out the work. At this point it was crucial that they worked with the weather and not against it. The job was accomplished in 2+ days at the very beginning of December. I am delighted with the result. During the replacement phase there were no leaks and to date the smart new roof has been perfect. The project was well organised with good communications and a prompt start every day. They even helped out my next door neighbour who had a roofing emergency. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Glen Masters and his Son Rheiner recently completed some damp proofing on our house. This was a long standing problem that I finally got around to sorting out. I'm so pleased that I did because once they started to get inside the brick walls they found there was no damp proof course on part of our conservatory wall . This was a defect on our house that went right back to when the original conservatory was built in 1927. Futureways Design and Build were the only builders that I would have trusted to undertake this technically complicated work which was completed on time , on budget , as per the price estimated and with no mess. They left the site clean , tidy and with no damage. They have previously replaced my whole tiled roof on my detached house, concrete lintels, wall ties and constructed drainage channels and soakaways in the back garden. All the work was done to perfection. They are experienced , very intelligent , and give a lot of thought and contribute freely and generously their own ideas to the design process. Above all they are an absolute pleasure to have in the house , great guys!
