After having a conservatory built by Richard Thomas, we were so pleased with the result, we returned to them to fit our new front door and windows. A very reliable company with a great team, I would highly recommend them to anyone.

New Conservatory

After a bad experience with a different company, I was anxious about finding someone else to do my conservatory. I’m so glad I chose Richard Thomas. I could not be happier with the all the work, from start to finish. Ben listened to what I wanted, kept me updated with dates etc until Kevin, the “nothing is too much trouble” project manager took over 😀. Everyone was polite, friendly and hard working. I can absolutely recommend Richard Thomas Conservatories. Thank you all so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New Orangery and removal of existing kitchen ready for new installation

This company is outstanding. We were referred to them by an ex-employee, which is a good sign in itself. The orangery itself is excellent but we could have sourced the same one elsewhere. The difference is their people - their staff and sub-contractors were all brilliant - experts in their individual trades. We had no idea, for example, that there are people who just install lead flashings into brickwork for a living or who lay screed flooring. The whole project took 8 weeks including the XMAS break and they were only 2 days late, due to bad weather. My wife and I would recommend them 100%.

Ben and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Ben's initial meeting gave me confidence that the company would do a great job and I have not been disappointed. They demolished our old conservatory and have replaced it with a lovely new one. I would highly recommend this company.

From the moment Ben(the owner of the company)came to see us we were impressed,he is very patient and VERY knowledgeable in what he does.He talked us through the whole process, answered all our questions and there were no hidden fees. When the guys started the work on the agreed day, they were brilliant. They cleaned up their mess every night and nothing was left at the end of the job. now that the job is finished it’s amazing. We had a glass roof on our conservatory and we have now have a new composite roof which regulates the heat inside the house amazingly well ,I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to absolutely anyone first class and brilliant.

Single storey extension

We are very impressed with Richard Thomas and would highly recommend their services. We love our new open plan space following a single-storey extension with the ultra roof and removal of an interior wall. We were impressed with how tidy the site remained throughout the building work, staff and contractors were very polite and punctual. Ben our Project Manager kept us informed of time scales and was quick to respond to any queries. The timescale was adhered to and we were impressed with the care and attention to keeping the property safe and secure at all times. The contractors were working daily and the project pushed on without any gaps in the schedule.

Richard Thomas were brilliant from start to finish, Ben visited us personally at the initial enquiry stage and was able to take measurements, design and price us there and then. Following confirmation of us proceeding with the works, everyone we have dealt with since has been professional, reliable and quick to respond to our emails. Dates and times were well communicated and at no point were we left in the dark about anything. Kevin the project manager was a pleasure to deal with and we are very happy with the work that has been done. I would definitely recommend Richard Thomas to anyone.

Excellent experience

We have used Richard Thomas to complete two jobs for us - firstly a replacement conservatory and secondly a new double front door. Both jobs were completed in a timely manner and completely to our satisfaction. We love the conservatory which is now "orangery" style with lots of light and is a real addition to the house, replacing its cold and draughty predecessor. I think that part of the success of this company is the time and trouble taken to ensure that the customer has time to properly consider what they want - we certainly changed our minds through discussion and felt under no pressure to decide quickly. The installers in both cases were very professional, turned up on time, were pleasant while on-site and cleared up immaculately. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
