M Collins Builders Ltd

M Collins Builders Ltd. did various work on the front of the house including repointing, painting, resealing windows and replacement of tiles. And inside the house the entrance to the loft was enlarged and a loft ladder installed and new insulation and boards put down in the loft. There was very quick and good communication with Michael from the quote through till the end of the job. All the work was done to a very high standard and the team on site were always friendly and professional. We are particularly pleased with the front of the house where we feel the team went above and beyond and it now looks brilliant.

Michael’s team rebuilt a garden wall that had collapsed. The work was on budget and Lee, who did the bricklaying, was an absolute pleasure to have own site; courteous, punctual and tidy. We’re very pleased with the end result and would recommend.

M Collins building Ltd team repaired the brickwork and woodwork including the sash window frames on the front of the house, stripped and repainted the exterior including the front door where new secure glass panels were fitted to the door and above it. Internally, he replaced/repaired the top hall floorboards and some of the joists in the bathroom and re tiled where necessary. In the kitchen he replastered damaged walls and completely replaced the ceiling. They installed sunken spotlights and repaired and strengthened the wood flooring. The work was carried out to a very high standard and the team were really helpful and communicative every step of the way; any unexpected finds while carrying out repairs (especially the house exterior) was communicated to us immediately and options given as how to move forward. Due to unforeseen issues discovered with sections of the external brickwork, the work took slightly longer than anticipated, but not unduly and it went forward by mutual agreement resulting in an excellent, robust quality finish. We were consulted at every stage of the building work, and the guys were really knowledgeable, very experienced, professional and really helpful. Michael was very approachable, and communication was excellent throughout. I would fully recommend this building company, and will use again in the future.

With Mike and Greg, you will get an excellent job, expertly finished and attention to detail. It seems they can do anything and in a timely manner. Really nice, respectful guys too.

M Collins Builders Ltd. removed an old fireplace at our flat and fitted a new one (including widening the chimney, plastering, fitting a hearth etc.). We had a great experience from start to finish. Michael was responsive and came out quickly to provide a quote. He was also helpful in advising on where to source the hearth and collecting it for us. Greg was also a pleasure to have around - we're delighted with the result and his attention to detail, as well as how clean he left everything after each day of work. The quote was also accurate. Cannot recommend enough!

Michael undertook a major renovation of our kitchen and we have nothing but good things to say about his work, and that of Greg, his foreman. They were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Greg is a really talented, methodical and painstaking builder who took enormous care with the work and was so nice that we still miss seeing him every day! The quality of their work is so good that people are amazed to hear that our kitchen is from Ikea - it looks far more high-end and that's because of their attention to detail and their skill. They are highly experienced, really trustworthy and always left the house in as immaculate state as it could be given the disruption of the build. We're really delighted with the work and can't recommend them more highly.

Michael helped us with several repair works around our flat when we first moved in. He was very helpful and didn't let us down even when more issues surfaced.

I needed repair to an external wall of my Victorian house. I contacted Michael in May and he got back to me quickly to arrange visit to view, and followed up with a reasonable quote. Understandably he had other jobs on so it was not possible to start the work for a few months. Michael's bricky Lee came to look at the wall on 1st September, and was able to start work that same day, and sourced similar bricks locally. Lee was clearly experienced and was a considerate worker, and interesting to talk to. He did a great job making good the damaged area, lining up the bricks better than the wonky original and finished off the work the following day, leaving the area clean and tidy.

Michael is a lovely professional man, he came round with one of his team Lee and quoted to fix/rebuild our outside steps and clear the area. I have been burned before and so was not the easiest of customers but Lee and Michael's son weren't phased, did a terrific job, were friendly, informative and worked very hard. The space looks beautiful now. Would recommend this company, they're highly skilled, reliable and trustworthy.

Michael's son took care of this project and worked with a small team to completely renovate our one-bedroom flat. He was helpful throughout and provided recommendations and guidance on best practice using his experience and where the designs we had were not necessarily correct - e.g. height of the new shower head. He was also accommodating of extra requests such as replacing skirting where not initially planned. The quote was accurate and there were no hidden costs when we received the invoices. Michael even checked that his remaining costs were aligned with ours before sending his final bill. We did have a couple of issues during the project but these were resolved quickly with Michael's help at no extra cost. After completion of the project and during snagging, we noticed some damage caused on the inside of new cabinets (e.g. where the washing machine had not been installed correctly and had to be pulled back out). The dishwasher had also not been installed correctly and an engineer from the manufacturer had to fix this. The project overran on initial estimates by 4 weeks. This was partly due to additional tasks we requested and but delays were not always communicated properly and with sufficient notice.
