    Repair of block driveway and separate boundary wall

    Nick did 2 jobs for me both quite tricky. He repaired and strengthened a section of my boundary wall that my side gate hung on. Achieved a perfect match with the bricks and left the site spotless which is not easy when cement drops all over the place. I have a drive in/drive out driveway one side of which had slipped badly causing gaps to appear and side blocks to become displaced. Nick lifted and replaced that half of the driveway and cleverly managed to match up the lines with the other side. Nick always kept me up to date with any likely problems and always explained what he was doing - no corners were cut. I was very pleased with his work, and more importantly, so was my wife. His pricing structure is fair and no extras were added. I will be sending him some before and after photos so that he can demonstrate the work that he has done to potential customers. He is an excellent paver and builder.

    He arrived on time and did a great job. The 2 doorways have been closed in an clean and solid way. Left the side tidy. Highly recommended.

    Repointing

    In two days, Nick repointed the wall areas we discussed, replaced the concrete lintel over the window, lined my roof terrace perimeter with lead and silicone and painted up relevant made-good areas including supplying all the labour and materials. He did a great job and I would have no hesitation in employing him again.

    Mend roof & loft space work

    Nick was extremely helpful, he went over and above what you would normally expect from a tradesman, as the original job I posted drastically changed overnight when my chimney collapsed. He bent over backwards to cover my emergency needs and carried out some internal work to my chimney stack. I would definately recommend him to my friends (which I have done already) and family. I have already asked him to carry out another job and am just waiting to hear back from him. Many thanks Nick.

    Deck in rear garden

    Nick and his crew did a superb job installing our deck. Nick and his people worked very hard and finished the job to a high standard in very short order. It is an amazing addition to our home and we are thrilled with it; we absolutely and unreservedly recommend Nick. Nick's attention to detail and passion for getting a job right is apparent in the quality of the work. The deck is level, square and sturdy with no noticeable 'spring' when walked upon. There are minimal gaps between the boards to allow for the natural swelling and contracting of the timber, but not so wide that it is possible to see straight through. The posts and frame are under-laid with a thick membrane to further reduce light hitting the soil and so inhibit weed growth. The deck is precisely cut around the corners and piping and removable access areas were made over the manhole and drains. A lovely planter was constructed with the excess timber at no extra cost and finishes the project perfectly. Not only was Nick's workmanship of a high standard, he and his crew took care to protect our wooden and tiled floors and ensured that the the site was fully tidied before finishing for the day. He would arrive when expected and communicated clearly throughout the project. Again, we can confidently recommend Nick and hope you enjoy your deck as much as we enjoy ours.

    Replacement front wall / front door and frame

    Nick is a diamond. He explained what could be done and offered solutions for what couldn't, in straightforward laymans terms. He also provided a competitive and comprehensive quote. He and his team did a fantastic job. They were punctual, all very professional, quick and cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Kentish Builder and wouldn't hesitate to use again in the future. Many thanks Nick.

    clear and landscape a small overgrown terrace garden

    Nick and his lads were extremely helpful, friendly, punctual and did a thoroughly good job on time and on budget. Nick also threw in a little extra job for free. My garden has never looked better. I would definitely use Kentish Builders again. Thanks again Nick, it's been a pleasure doing business.
