Hodgson And Sons Ltd

Aaron’s team did a great job on our loft conversion and bathroom refit. The tradespeople did high quality work (particularly impressed with the bathroom tiling) and the job ran to schedule. What was also great was the way I was consulted throughout the project and also received various good suggestions to improve on the architect’s plans. While the job was finished on time, there were of course various snags and the team dealt with them well. Aaron also got involved at the end to make sure everything was up to standards. There were a few issues with work being needed on our downstairs neighbours ceiling etc as a result of damage but it was all dealt with well. Overall, a great job and would recommend.

This was a major renovation of our flat, which took place while we were overseas. Hodgson's did a fantastic job from the very beginning of the process, their quote was clear and comprehensive, they identified potential issues and discussed them with us well in advance, worked quickly and kept us informed. We would strongly recommend them both for the quality of their work and their customer service.

Aaron Hodgson and his company completed a project for us last year (Kitchen/bathroom refurbishment). He and his team impressed us with their professional and courteous approach to the work. When we suffered a burst pipe over the week end that emergency plumbers were unable to help due to having to remove a fitted cupboard we approached Aaron for urgent assistance. He couldn't have been more helpful and despite being on holiday contacted us on a number of occasions to reassure us and organised a team for first thing on Monday. They arrived early and removed the cupboard and fixed the issue within two hours. Both persons were courteous and committed to completing the repair in a timely manner. They cleaned up and removed all signs of the work. Highly Recommended!

Aaron and his team renovated my three bedroom flat which included: the removal of two internal walls; fitting a new kitchen and bathroom; re-wiring; new skirting boards, doors and window sills; plastering and decoration throughout. The work was done to the agreed budget and within the time schedule. Any additional work was costed and agreed before it was carried out. A schedule was agreed beforehand and once the job was underway there were weekly meetings & reports. The communication was good and the WhatsApp group particularly effective. Once the work was completed the flat was left to settle for a few weeks and then they came back for a couple of days to complete the snagging, fill in cracks etc. I had never had any building work done in the flat and was apprehensive about the upheaval, things I hadn’t anticipated and how my vision of the flat would translate. Aaron oversaw the project and was a reassuring & supportive presence throughout the process, committed to my vision but also providing constructive suggestions to enhance it. The work is of a high standard, the team conscientious and the approach to unexpected challenges is to find the solution rather than dwelling on the problem. I love my ‘new’ flat and would not hesitate to recommend the company.

A retaining garden wall needed to be rebuilt, following surveyor's instructions. The work was complex as it involved laying foundations under an existing patio using a particular method. I was impressed by how Aaron Hodgson and his team approached the task - from communicating with the surveyor who had originally provided the diagram to ensuring that the rest of the property was kept clean. Aaron maintained oversight of the work at all times and kept in communication with myself. The original quote was very reasonable. When the task involved some extra work and increase in cost, this was negotiated and discussed at every stage with options provided. The finished quality of the work is of a very high quality and I would definitely recommend.

Following detailed design by architect and a tender exercise, Hodgson Construction was appointed by competitive tender from 3 contractors. Key considerations were: ability to carry out major structural work including installation of steel ring beam to support rear of house; ability to minimise disruption to remaining occupied areas of house; continuous working and commitment to the agreed programme and budget. From the outset Hodgson impressed, first by partitioning and sealing off the area of work from the rest of the house and installing a temporary fully functioning kitchen. This meant that the occupied areas of the house were kept free of disruption and remained largely dust free for the majority of the programme. Secondly, by the ability to manage the co-ordination of all subcontractors including those appointed directly by the client for windows, roof lights and flooring. Thirdly by working through or around delays caused by others, thus ensuring the overall programme did not slip significantly. The payment plan stages were clear and applied without resort to claims for extra payment. Any additional payments were agreed before the work commenced and were entirely for works not included in the original specification, such as installation of the kitchen directly purchased by the client. Snagging was thorough and remedial aftercare agreed without fuss. Hodgson Construction have an excellent workforce including direct sub-contractors. Highly recommended.

We had a full bathroom refurb done and Aaron and his team were personable, prompt and did the work to a decent standard at the time. They had to return a couple of months later to rectify a couple of small issues the tenant subsequently noticed and they did this with no charge which we appreciated. They also communicated well with us while we were overseas when the work was done, and the work was done on budget. Disappointed though that, less than three years later, both the bath and sink taps need to be replaced. When I contacted Hodgsons, Aaron said that the work only had a 1 year guarantee. I think if you trust your own workmanship, that's a very short guarantee. I didn't realise it was that limited as I forgot to ask at the time, and nowhere is a guarantee mentioned on the quote that I originally got. Despite me asking if he had time to go round and see what the problem was, he didn't offer to even do that. It seems standard that taps should have at least a five year guarantee. We're now going to have to refit those, and it seems a shame they haven't lasted.

Hodgson Construction led by Managing Director Aaron Hodgson and his exceptional team of true craftsmen have built a bespoke aluminium porch and introduced a stream of light into our hall by opening out the long house wall into the adjoining garage, thus creating a spacious entrance hall. Throughout the eight-week long project, the attention paid to detail was exceptional in every aspect, from the groundsmen, to the carpenters, bricklayers to name just a few. The weekly meetings with Aaron were always a pleasure and in getting to know him, we regard him as an exceptional leader. His idea of perfection completely coincided with our expectations, and exceeded them. Aaron's ideas at every stage were highly intuitive as were the valuable suggestions made by all of his team all with unfailing courtesy and regard for us. We highly recommend the pleasure of working with Aaron Hodgson and his wonderful team. We know that should any aftercare be necessary it will be dealt with immediately.

Not a huge job, but its visibility made it important to get right. Aaron was fully engaged in the project and listened to ours thoughts and contributed hs own. Hodgson's worked and communicated extremely efficiently with both us and the company we used to install the door and windows. Aaron was meticulous in ensuring that any inevitable snagging was dealt with at the end. He genuinely gives one a sense that attention to detail and our happiness with the outcome was important to him. And the result - a porch that fits in seamlessly with the rest of the front of the house.

Hodgson & Sons team were approachable, knowledgeable, courteous and understanding. They consulted us when necessary and were skilled at their crafts. They were punctual, committed and worked with the quality, accommodating change as required and got the job done ahead of time. When issues arose affecting neighbours they were considerate and took them in hand and dealt with them. We knew that Hodgson & Sons would be there for us post-build as any settlement occurs. They provided a true end to end service.
