CGM Building Services reviews (7)

Very Good. Did a difficult job very quickly.

I hired CGM Building Services to provide drawings and apply for planning permission on my behalf. I was advised a planning application had been made and that the council wouldn't necessarily acknowledge it. Having spoken to the council, it would appear the application was never made. Chris will not return calls, answer e-mails or letters. I sent a letter via recorded delivery, which was returned. Most importantly Chris will not provide me with a copy of the drawings, or a refund. I cannot recommend this builder to anyone as I feel I have been conned.

We hired Chris to do the plans and build an extension and refit our kitchen. Chris did not complete the work, he left me with a half finished kitchen, no water in the kitchen, no worktops, cooker or hob along with a number of other half finished jobs. All this with a 2 year old in the house and me being pregnant. not only this but he didnt even do me the courtesy of phoning me to tell me, i just came home one evening to find that all his tools and equipment had been removed and then i got a text message telling me he was not able to return to site, no explanation except for citing "personal reasons". He would not return my calls, texts or emails. he also left us is a situation where the money we had left to pay him was not enough to employ another person to finish the work off. maybe i was naive and paid him too much but i trusted him and he let me down. he would not even help us by giving us contact details of the people that he had been using which meant things like the plumbing cost more as the new plumber had to work out what had already been done. we paid chris to take the project through building control and he did not do this meaning that it was left to me to get sign off myself. I would recommend that you do not employ Chris as there will always be the potential that he will decide not to finish the job and leave you in a very hard situation possibly out of pocket and with a lot of hassle trying to sort it all out.

Very helpful, and work completed in good time and good quality thanks Chris

Hi, Though we have not completed the job yet, Chris has drawn up the plans and we are hoping to do complete the extension as soon as we have the funds to do so. Chris has been excellent all round and we would not hesitate using his services in the future and would recommend him to our immediate friends and family.

Detailed and clear quote, made helpful suggestions, delivered on time and pleased with outcome..

Christopher is absolutely great and I couldn't recommend him highly enough to be honest. He's reliable, tidy, not greedy and I have to say I wouldn't use any bar him. His work is of a very good quality, he's massively reliable, he's never let me down on anything and you can just leave him to get on with it. He's totally trustworthy, you can leave him in the house and his prices are always fine and he doesn't do any of that adding on extras here and there. He's really good and I'd definitely recommend him.
