    amend existing masonary chimney breast in Orpington

    Nick was brilliant. He turned up when he said he would and did a great job on enlarging the chimney breast and installing a lintel. He also went above and beyond in helping me to locate a hearth stone and also installed a flexible flue liner & cowl, which was additional to what we originally agreed. I couldn't have a asked for a nicer chap or a better job. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone.

    Wall repair

    Very good work done, carefully explained and everything done on time exactly as we were advised, despite having to cope with some unexpected extras and complications. We are very satisfied that the botched efforts of the previous builders have now been sorted out. Thoroughly recommend Nick - and our neighbours have already booked him for their own work. We have your number thankfully. Richard

    WIndow opening rebuild

    A second floor casement window in the wrong proportions was being replaced by a sash window to reinstate original look of victorian terrace. A tricky job, involving old crumbling brickwork and the need to install two lintels close to the roofline, but Nick and his team worked quickly to remove the window and secure new lintels. The finished brickwork looks great and has helped strengthen the whole wall. New window now fitted and sealed, a fantastic job all round. Kentish Builder is highly recommended.

    Increase fireplace opening

    Excellent work. The chimney opening was increased in size. Nick explained clearly what was possible and how he could achieve it.

    removal of 3 large trees from front garden

    All I can say is wow!!! I'm so pleased with the work Nick, Lee and the team have done & I'm so glad we hired them. From the initial meeting through to completion Nick was polite, fair and offered his expertise. I have to be honest here in that I must have been a nightmare in the beginning as I wasn't sure what I wanted, but with lots of discussion (& Nick's patience) we got there in the end! They always arrived promptly, put in a hard 3 weeks' work and tidied up at the end of the day, I couldn't be happier. I could go on about how great these boys are, but I will finish by saying that I'd have no hesitation in recommending Kentish Builders, and I'd definitely use them again, the finished product is excellent!!!

    Retaining Wall & Fire Place

    Nick was hired to build a boundary and retaining wall, as well as block in a fireplace. His work was fantastic, rectifying some previous issues that already existed, and completing the work above expectations. He was always on time, respectful to the property and left everything clean and tidy. I would highly recommend. James - Canterbury

    Conservatory removal

    The job was to demolish an old conservatory and cut a French drain in the concrete floor. This was done to my complete satisfaction and the site was left clean and tidy. The cost was very reasonable.

    Cap chimney & bring to roof level, fix extnl wall crack

    What can I say about Nick that hasn't already been said several times on here. He's amazing. worked consistently in awful weather, cheery disposition, did a great job at a great price on my roof/chimney. He also sent me picture messages of the progress without me even asking, which I found really reassuring as I was at work and a lovely refreshing change for a tradesman to keep me so well informed. He was always punctual, very reliable and also helped advise on other work, always being straight and truthful. Nick is an absolute gem and once you've hired him you will never get rid of his phone number! I will be hiring him for future jobs without hesitation as I was so impressed. He is a rarity and a great credit to to the building industry; one of the best. He never disappoints so what are you waiting for? Hire him!

    Driveway and patio

    This was the second job that Nick did for me and the quality was just as good as the first time. He excavated the front driveway, created two flowerbeds down either side with brickwork, erected a wooden fence between me and my neighbour and laid stone sleepers to hold in the aggregate which was laid. At the back he built a base and laid paving stones for a shed. The person who erected the shed said it was a really good base. I had a fixed idea of what I wanted but he made a couple of suggestions which I took up and they were really good ideas which I hadn't thought of. I would definitely employ him again and recommend him. He turns up on time, is polite, respectful of your property, sticks to the quote and does the job properly. Refreshing.

    Enlarge Kitchen Fireplace & Create New Doorway

    Nick was very professional, fully explaining what was required to complete the job and quoting competetively. Unfortunately I had to cancel the project for personal reasons.
