Peter Edwards Builders Ltd

After two in-person meetings and viewing a previous job, we engaged Peter and Nye to complete extensive renovations of our ground floor and patio areas. It involved knocking two rooms together, raising ceiling height, levelling floor to remove internal steps, removal of large chimney breast, installation of new external doors and windows, installation of new kitchen units and appliances, creation of new boiler/utility room, creation of understairs cloakroom and storage area, replacing a ceiling and coving in a second room, replastering walls and fitting new skirting boards in a third room, creating a new raised patio and replacing two existing areas of flagstones, providing external powerpoints and power for future garden shed. All work was completed to a good standard, and very well project managed by Peter/Nye. We were always kept informed of progress and consulted whenever choices needed to be made. The team were cheerful, humorous and helpful, sometimes coming up with clever ways around problems. Eg. their skill at cutting down an existing good quality window meant we were able to use the existing RSJ, creating a new door opening alongside the window - a better result than we had anticipated. One miscommunication - we expected them to decorate at the end, but this was not included in price and not initially made clear to us. But in all other ways, they were always completely clear, fair and helpful, and we would use them again. And we got used to Peter's singing.

Nye quoted for these works and the costs were competitive with other 'Trusted Traders' I contacted, so we offered he and Peter the work. They arrived on time and completed each of the jobs to a high standard. Potentially the most awkward piece of work was the removal of a chimney and the chimney breast in the house and then making good the roof and the wall etc. in the room. They clearly are very experienced and competent and this was completed professionally and with little mess. I would not hesitate to ask them to quote for future work.

Peter and Nye are well known in the local area. They are knowledgeable, efficient, tidy and very nice guys too.

Nye was our builder for the entirety of our kitchen project. The job involved the removal of our current kitchen and the installation of a new kitchen. It involved the partial removal of an internal wall and extensive electrical, plumbing and carpentry work both in the kitchen area and into the hallway where Nye removed an archway, removed and re sited a radiator and created a new light point in the ceiling. Throughout this project, Nye was punctual and reliable - always on site when he said he would be. He spent several weeks at our house and was courteous and accommodating at all times. The site was left tidy at the end of the day and Nye ensured that we were given as much access as quickly as possible to cooking facilities and water. As expected in any project, several snags arose along the way and Nye dealt with these quickly and professionally, ensuring that the project continued to run smoothly. We made several extra requests as the project evolved and Nye accommodated these with no complaint to ensure that we were happy at all times. The work was completed as per the original quote and Nye was always explicitly clear when any cost needed to be adjusted up or down. Communication between us and Nye was always easy and he was friendly and approachable throughout, returning to site out of his working hours at times to ensure all matters were quickly and efficiently dealt with. It has been a pleasure to work with Nye and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

Timely on budget and thoughtful. Old school builder with foundations in quality and good work ethic, with occasion out bursts of singing suggests a positive attitude. Am happy with the end result and advice given. I would hope to use their services for a future back extension, or in recommending their services to others.

Nye and Peter are great people and obviously experts at what they do. Our job involved quite a few fiddly elements and they tackled them all with attention-to-detail. They even picked up any other niggling issues with our flat as they went - including some very dangerous wiring from a previous owner's attempt at DIY. All in all, we felt like we were in safe hands right from the off. They were punctual, cheerful, kept us updated with progress, and were really accommodating with any questions or additional asks as they went. Can't recommend them enough.

This is our "Grand Designs" project, the extension consists of a new lounge/ diner with an apex roof including skylights and a new bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Renovation included new electrics, heating, plastering a new roof and patio. The result is stunning! We were very apprehensive as we looked to engage a building company for this project and now so glad we chose Which Trusted Trader and found Peter and Nye. We cannot rate this company highly enough. They have been totally professional from start to finish: provided us with a detailed quote, have been on site every day for 4 months, always planning ahead so no delay in supplies, work extremely hard and to a very high standard, giving sound advice to overcome any challenges that arose with the build. We genuinely count our blessings every day that we employed Peter Edwards to undertake this once-in-a-lifetime project for us and we felt confident from day one that we had chosen the “A” Team.

We have used Peter and Nye in the past for a loft and kitchen extension which they did to a high standard and have had no problems with over the years. We recently had them back to re-render the exterior of our house, work to the roof and window and make good the driveway adding a new path and step. We even added on additional work which was not a problem for them. Peter and the team did a brilliant job in good time and we’re more than pleased with the result. Competitively priced, great time keeping and worked through the day tidying up before they left. Would definitely recommend.

Someone gave me the details of Nye & contacted him in an emergency after a cowboy left the house exposed to the rainy weather. He responded immediately & covered the house until the work started a few days letter. He gave us priority over other scheduled jobs due to the urgency of the repairs. He & the team did an excellent job. Even other builders working in nearby houses though their job was impeccable. I contacted him 2 years later as though I saw a small crack in the plaster but was reassured it was nothing to worry about. He put another coat of paint out of courtesy. I would definitely recommend him & the team.

Peter and Nye helped us finish off work that we needed doing in our house. They fitted a new utility room, including a new upvc door, new flooring, kitchen unit installation and alot of making good. We also asked them to re-fit some doors including skirting and architrave. They also installed a drainage channel outside. The work was done to a great standard and we were happy with the outcome. The guys were here at 8am every day and left the house clean when leaving. Would definitely recommend
