I originally booked multiple building companies for a quote for my home improvements. Carl was friendly on initial meeting and give me good explanation on how best to carry out my project with the maximum impact to use my space. He was very efficient in getting back to me with his quotes and I could clearly see the breakdown of each individual project. The timescales that he recommended were also managed within the given timeframe that was advised. The company was very clean and tidy and always made sure that any rubbish was taken and disposed of the same day. The quality of the workmanship was very good and I feel that the standard of finish for the end results were also very good.

Bricklaying- 14 Aug 2019
Whilst i realised the work I required to be carried out may be too small of a job for some builders to consider it was great that Kyman Construction were happy to offer to view the job. Adam was highly professional right from the initial quotation phase through to completion, all work carried out to a high standard and i have no concern in recommending him for similar work.

I had the pleasure of working with Laszlo on a bespoke kitchen and I am absolutely thrilled with the final result. Laszlo professionalism, attention to detail, and skill as a craftsman are truly exceptional. From the very beginning of the project, Laszlo was attentive to my needs and preferences, and he worked with me closely to ensure that every aspect of the design was perfect. He provided excellent advice and suggestions that helped me to make informed decisions and create a kitchen that perfectly fit my vision. Throughout the construction process, Laszlo was communicative and transparent, keeping me informed every step of the way. His workmanship is simply outstanding - every detail is precise and every element of the kitchen is crafted with the utmost care and attention. I highly recommend Laszlo to anyone looking for custom furniture, and especially for those looking to create a beautiful, high-quality custom kitchen. Thank you, Laszlo, for creating such a wonderful and functional space for me to cook and entertain in!

Bricklaying- 17 May 2023
Adam Campbell from Allerton Bywater: Aaron and his work partner were very professional in all aspects of the work they completed for me. They assessed the work and we agreed on a price and dates for the work to be done. They turned up at the times agreed did a great job with the brickwork and left everything tidy when they finished. (even took my rubble with them) Going forward I intend to use Aaron again on other works I need doing and would recommend his services if you are looking for a decent bricklayer. Overall I am dubious about using web sites for finding labour and this is the first time I have used My Builder and fortunately everything has worked out ok and I now have a contact number for a decent bricklayer. Aaron took before and after pictures so take it from me the ones showing a patio wall in his gallery are genuine.
