Oxon Construction & Renovation

The first thing to say about using Chris and his team is that they are exceptional! The quality of the work and the finish is first class. But the way they communicate, talk and show you through every aspect of the job, listen to your needs is very different from any other builders. Chris's knowledge is brilliant and his attitude to issues that arise during the build leave you reassured and confident that you are getting the best service. It feels like his team are putting in the same effort they would on their own home. They are honest, reliable, approachable, extremely considerate and here is the ringing endorsement - we were sorry when they left!!! What other builder can you say that about - ever? I was standing next to a very experienced building inspector who came to do a site visit for the steels and he said to me "Look at that workmanship, that has to fill you with confidence, it does me." You wont be disappointed if you use Chris for an any aspect of a build and he will exceed your expectations.

My wife and I had talked about having a ground floor extension built onto the back of our house for a number of years. To be honest we were both a bit nervous about doing so! Enter Oxon Ltd: Chris, Ricky and Liam. What a great team. They talked us through the build, making recommendations along the way that significantly improved on the architects design. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and their attention to detail was second to none. If we want more work done on the house, Oxon Ltd would be our first choice of tradesmen. We cannot recommend them highly enough; we are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen/dinner.

Chris and his team were tasked with building a 2 storey extension on the side of our house. He initially came into difficulties with the drainage but worked through the problem excellently. The build was completed to an exceptional standard and has always been on hand to ask questions and resolve teething issues since. I can’t recommend him and his team enough.

I selected Oxon Ltd to cut a new opening and fit an access door to the side of my garage. I have to say that it was an absolute pleasure to deal with Chris and his team from start to finish. They were informative, punctual, concise, efficient, take pride in their work and are altogether good guys. The materials supplied and workmanship is of excellent quality and the finished job looks much better than I originally thought it would. This is my first experience of having this sort of work carried out on my property and I would have no hesitations using Chris and his team in the future. Thoroughly recommended!

Chris and his crew were very professional and turned around a project that a previous builder had made a right pickle of. We received very clear advice, and Chris gave excellent attention to detail. It was a challenge for the team to know what they would find when they started, but they were flexible and kept up the pace despite the obstacles that beset them! The whole team was friendly and nice to have around - good with pets and kids! It has all turned out very well.

Super professional and friendly team. Great communication leading up to the work and gave terrific advice before and during the job. Not phased by a number of challenges we threw at them and helped to keep costs down where appropriate. Excellent attention to detail, including keeping the site clean. Turned up when they said they would and completed within quoted time.

Chris and his team are knowledgeable, friendly, professional, have an amazing attention to detail and take huge pride in their work. They updated our downstairs cloakroom and knocked through a wall to make the en-suite bigger. Chris guided us through any queries with his knowledge and his team were a pleasure to have around while the work was completed.

Chris and the team changed our flat roof and added a skylight for us. Chris visited us before the work started to talk us through it and the team were brilliant at talking us through each step as the work progressed. Even when something didn't go to plan (particularly the weather!), they remained positive and upbeat. They also ensured we were safe whilst the roof was exposed. They also provide supporting information on various other things around the house (when we chose to pick their brains!). Time frame and costs were as expected, are always great. They were very clean and tidy, even insisting on cleaning when I offered to tidy after them in 32C heat. The finished (plastered walls and roof and rubber roof/skylight) is superb. I would recommend Chris and the team to anyone having building work.

Chris listened to my needs regarding refitting a bathroom and put together a proposal that matched all my requirements. He ensured all the fittings were specified correctly to ensure we were both on the same wavelength. Ricky did an excellent job fitting the bath, sinks and loo together with tiling. He worked very efficiently with their electrical contractor. I was pleased that this job received 100% effort and I never felt that we were being slotted in amongst other projects. All communications were efficient and timely sorting out any minor issues that needed resolving along the way. They were very helpful sorting out another separate plumbing issue that arose in the house whilst on the project. There was a small increase to the budget but this was highlighted when the electricians found they had to do some extra work. I would definitely recommend Oxon Ltd.

My wife and I are very pleased to provide this reference for Chris and his team at Oxon Builders. I first met Chris Smith in September 2020. At the time we were dealing with a firm more focused on their processes than our needs. Our feelings about our renovation were at a low point. Chris changed that. He listened to our concerns. I say our concerns, because unlike so many others in the building profession Chris addressed my wife and I equally (instinctively, he recognised that my wife had concerns and reservations that needed to be addressed). He made us see that there was a different way of approaching the renovation. He connected us with a similarly minded architect and made some valuable practical suggestions. The work his team have done so far (fixing roofing leaks and tiling around a fireplace) has been excellent. The three different team members have been clear and straightforward with me and my wife. They worked efficiently and to a very high standard. They were pleasant. Invoicing was straightforward, very reasonable and consistent with existing estimates. We will be recommending Chris to any and all friends and family contemplating building projects. We will happily answer any questions you may have. I found Chris because of this site. In our experience, the glowing reviews are true. Chris Botsman
