Square Mile Builders Limited

This is the second time we’ve used Square Mile for a large project, this time for a loft conversion. While other providers did offer cheaper quotes we decided to go with Chris as we were pleased with the previous quality of work. Also, we appreciate the continuity of always working directly with Chris and his team while working inside the house. Inevitable changes to design and costs were always made transparent and I felt Chris worked within our budget constraints. Chris has been responsive to come and resolve snags following the build. Overall we’re really pleased with the result

We refurbished our kitchen and bathroom with Square Mile Builders Limited in May 2025. Chris helped us plan the work and provided valuable advice and recommendations for suppliers to use. The budgeting and timing for the required work were quick and precise. Chris and his team are competent, reliable, and solution-oriented. The work lasted 4 weeks, and it started and finished exactly when agreed. The budget was precise and met, and the work was carried out efficiently and professionally. During the building phase, work went ahead without any setbacks, and any (minor) issues were immediately communicated along with a suitable solution, and then addressed and solved swiftly. We have been very pleased with the result, but also with the communication and responsiveness during the work. We warmly recommend Chris and his team and will definitely use them again if we do any work in the future.

This was a small project installing an electric fire and surround in my rental property which required joinery and an electrician. An initial hitch was quickly resolved. The end result looks great and the tenants are delighted. The cost of the work was very reasonable. I hope to use them for future larger projects.

Chris and his team from SMB were professional and hardworking. The project was ambitious design-wise and presented some challenges. The team really tried hard to realise my ideas - they were creative and constructive in fulfilling the brief. They were always solution-focused and responsive to my input. The electricians, plumbers, painters and carpenters were great and were interested in the project and in making it work. The detailing and construction work was of a very high standard. The SMB team were all helpful - really nice guys. One more thing - Chris was helpful in keeping costs down and within the agreed budget. It is a big thing to blow your life savings on rebuilding your house. It's a risky thing. You don't what's going to happen. With the SMB team - what happened was - I've got a beautiful new home!

Square Mile Builders worked on our house for a total of 6 months. It was a full house renovation, with rewiring, replumbing, redecorating, new floors, and a new kitchen. Chris and his team did an excellent job and we are very happy that we chose them. Throughout the process, Chris was very responsive, kind and honest. He explained any issues and suggested good solutions. The work has been done to a very high standard, and we love our house. I would really recommend Square Mile Builders - we will be using them in the future

The Square Mile team were co- ordinated, operated as a well-oiled team of professionals, efficient and fast and much appreciated from my point of view they cleaned up all the debris and mess as a result of their work. Very happy to recommend them.

Chris and his team have carried out work for us for the past 20 years. From smaller projects such as internal decorating, through to three complex complete renovation projects, SMB has always delivered high quality work and exceptional service. We first used Chris for a project to renovate our house in 2000, and have never been disappointed with his work. He communicates well, and always goes above and beyond the call of duty. He has a good eye, and makes design suggestions that we may not of thought of, and is committed to delivering a high standard of work, all while maintaining a good relationship with his client. He is reliable and has integrity, and I have always felt confident and in safe hands when he is heading up a project for us. Essentially, he is very solutions-focussed, always presenting answers to building issues, rather than problems. We have recommended Chris on several occasions, and in each case, he has produced excellent work, working with architects chosen by the client where necessary, and seamlessly managing suppliers. Chris is an exceptional project manager, and this extends to the completion side of the project. He deals with any snagging quickly and effectively, and is always responsive to questions and issue which may arise. He is a pleasure to work with.

When my flat roof was damaged in poor weather, Chris returned my call within the hour and a competitive quote a day later. Work was due to start three days later but with continuing bad weather Chris and his team left me a water-tight temporary fix until work could be resumed. Throughout I was kept informed and found him and his team prompt, polite, knowledgeable and hardworking. Will be using again.

We used the services of SMBL for renovating the external parts of our building (a Victorian 4-storey brick block)late 2021/early 2022. The works included facade improvements and installation of a brand new roof. Chris and his team were professional, reliable and responsive, and most of all very personable. Communication with them was smooth and frictionless throughout. And they came across as honest professionals; something that is a somewhat rare commodity in the industry. Some unforeseen extra costs did arise during the works, but they dealt with them in a fair and reasonable way. They never seemed out of their depth in dealing with the various aspects of the project. I would definitely recommend them and will go back to them for future construction work.

SMB did an excellent job of doing a fairly comprehensive renovation of a flat which hadn't had the TLC it deserved in recent years. Chris and the team worked quickly and effectively, communicating well and also making suggestions of things that could be improved from the initial brief. Another key thing was that all of the neighbours had nothing but praise for the way they carried out the work and their courtesy. Snagging also dealt with punctually and very well. Really pleased to have worked with them.

Chris and his team built a very nice kitchen extension for us a few years ago. We could not fault anything. The build was to a high standard and was completed in good time and on budget. The team were always very communicative and helpful and any issues were addressed appropriately. They were also open to any changes/modifications as necessary as we went along which was much appreciated. We love our new kitchen and I would highly recommend Square Mile Builders to anyone considering any building work. We got them back in again last year to replace our bathroom and again they did a nice job as expected.

Chris has undertaken a number of jobs for me in Central London, he is very easy to deal with, very reliable and good value for money. He keeps to his proposed times for carrying out work and he and his selected subcontractors are careful and produce high quality work. I would recommend Square Mile for residential building, maintenance and fit out works.
