Vears Ltd

Once again Vears carried out work on our property with great skill and care for detail. We are delighted with the end result and would certainly recommend Vears to others.

We needed a reliable and professional building company to manage the construction of a small new build plus a complete renovation of a 3 bed semi. Both properties needed to be accessible due to our parent’s mobility issues. We were extremely lucky to have found Vears! Throughout the 12-month project, the tradesmen on site were amazing. Always there when they said they would be and they treated my elderly Mother (who stayed on site) with the utmost respect. The budget updates were provided in a timely manner and we always discussed the plans going forward. Most importantly, I was always made aware of potential problems which could affect the budget allowing us to prepare finances or make changes. I would confidently recommend Vears to anyone (including my friends and family!) They can be relied on to do a fantastic job in a totally professional manner! Massive thanks to all the guys (Wayne, Jack, Chris, Liam, Sam, Andy, Sandy and Tracy - sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone!) our parents can live independently in their own homes.

We had a small but difficult building job on our chimney breast which required taking out the old open fire, closing the gas supply, damaging and replacing some of the flooring and replastering. Two local builders said it was too dificult and complicated. From the word go, Vears had a positive problem-solving approach and clearly explained the way forward. Their estimate was reasonable, so we booked them. They finished today and we are delighted with the work. They have their own expert workers, supplemented by gas fitters and electricians who work with them. Whenever problems arose, as they nearly always do in building jobs, the Vears employees had the expertise to solve them quickly and efficiently. They were also courteous and friendly, and always cleaned up at the end of the day. We would thoroughly recommend the firm.

This is the second time we have arranged for Vears to reline and retile a section of our house roof. All the work has been carried out to a high standard by Will and his team, who always attended as arranged and always left everything tidy when they left. Any additional necessary work was explained and agreed before proceeding and it was good to feel confident that we had engaged experienced roofers.

Vears quoted for the project and gave a start date which was kept. We were notified when the scaffolding would be installed and despite poor weather this was done with minimum fuss. The roof work was undertaken carefully, the builders were cooperative, the builders were no nuisance and considering the weather the work was done to programme. I am very satisfied indeed with the project and the liaison with Vears office staff. All great!

A quick and tidy repair carried out to our roof to solve a water-leak issue. The guys that carried out the work were polite and cleaned up after themselves. The work was completed within the budget we had agreed. A follow-up from the office the following day to make sure we were happy with the work. I wish more builders were like Vears; highly recommended.

Administration always dealt with enquiries promptly and efficiently. The original survey was conducted with understanding of all the problems. New felt was required on an old cottage roof, major repair to old chimney, and replacing rotten lead valley. They dealt with additional work needed, and some extra minor requests. Work carried out to quotation and time scale. Roofers arrived on time every day, always cheerful and helpful. They left the site clean and tidy.

From our first call, we had an early response for an inspection of our roof. Having made a thorough inspection we were advised to have the ridge tiles removed and refitted with a dry ridge system. We had confidence in Will's knowledge and judgement. Two others had suggested a lot more work (and cost). We were quickly given a Quotation and an estimated date for work to start. Will returned on that date and worked quietly and efficiently to carry out the work and leave everything clean and tidy. The ladies in the office were spot-on with their communication at all times and never had to be chased. Overall, an excellent service, so we can strongly recommend the roofing side of the business. We have no experience of other parts of the business but would imagine they work to the same standard.

Vears has just completed the conversion of our separate stone built garage into a two storey studio, with a separate bathroom and open plan kitchen. From start to finish all the tradesmen involved worked to a very high standard, communicated effectively (with us and each other) and were helpful and friendly. They all seemed to take a real pride in their work and we felt they were personally vested in our project, and concerned to do their best for us. The quotation we received for the work was comprehensive and thorough, and there were no 'surprises'. The snag list was very short, and the issues corrected very quickly. We are delighted with our new studio. Overall these builders are a class outfit, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

We approached the re roofing of our house with some trepidation but our experience with Vears Ltd was excellent in every respect. It was reassuring to deal with Will, from start to finish and we could not have wished for a more helpful and professional roofer. We received a fair and detailed estimate and all the work was carried out to a high standard and the site always left tidy. Some additional works were readily carried out and costs for these clearly explained. The office staff were also very pleasant to deal with, easily contacted and always helpful with any matters we raised. We have no hesitation in recommending Vears Ltd for any roofing project you may have.
