kentish builder reviews (613)

Job finished to good level, slight problem after that which not been resolved. On time and professional when on site. Would recommend.

Our garden was a steeply inclined, grassy good-for-nothing space and Nick and his team have successfully turned it into somewhere we intend spending every spare Summer moment in! It feels much larger and much more private and when we get the green stuff in - will be even more wonderful. The broken wooden fence was replaced by a six foot brick wall - the brickwork is superb. A two-tiered patio now replaces the grass. Extra features were added as the project went along - at no extra cost - including a much larger flower bed than originally planned, and a step. The job ran exactly to schedule and Nick was always on time. For the majority of the project we were out at work during the day and were very happy to give him a key to come and go as needed. The house was cleaned up at the end of each day. The project raised several difficulties - especially due to the fact that there was no rear access to the garden and MUCH hard graft was involved bringing the materials to the back and carrying 4 skip-loads of soil (!) and waste to the front. Originally we had thought that a series of drains would mean a 3 tier garden, but very early on, Nick let us know he could make it two tier only - even though this meant a lot more soil removal and adjustment - giving us the much more useable space. We were always impressed with the care given to how the finished look would be e.g. ensuring the patio slabs were laid so as to be central to the back door, and laying them on cement not just sand; adding the red brick top to the brick wall - because it looks better than all yellow. The extra thought translates to results. Would not hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone and hope to be able to hire him again in the future once we start on the house itself.

An excellent job. We had good communication before the work, the team turned up exactly when he said, the demolition of the garage was done quickly and the site was left tidy. I have no hesitation in using nick again

I posted a job for my steps to the rear garden to be moved and patio laid, Nick offered to view the jobin the evening,he arrived on time and spent time explaining to me what would be involved and pointed out where there may be problems and suggested possible solutions. Each day thought the build he started on time as promised and through the job kept the garden and the area clean and tidied up as he went along, throughout the job he ensured that the work that he was carrying out was what i wanted and if there was a problem he took time to explain and offered a solution. He finished the garden on time and to the budged that was agreed despite a few of changes to my original idea and extra work that wasn't expected. Nick and his team worked very hard every day and i cant fault their work, they worked to a very high standard and paid great attention to detail, both my wife and i are very happy with the finished garden and it looks better than that i imagined it would. I highly recommend Nick and have no hesitation in hiring him for further work in the future. Thanks.

Top drawer work! Professionally done, and excellently finished. Will definately have Kentishbuilder back again!

Nick and his team were prompt, reliable, and well priced. They did the work in the allotted time and despite finding a few unpredictable issues with the job stayed positive and dealt with them professionally.

I chose Nick on My builder for the removal and support of a small chimney stack in a bedroom. This was based on his excellent feedback and it was clear he has much experience in this job as well as a reasonable quotation. Nick explained thoroughly what was required and completed the job to specificaion. There were a few issues which turned up during the job which could not have been anticipated. Nick put these right despite it taking more time and matrials. He also removed the took down the whole chimney stack for me and helped bag up the rubble despite only quoting for just the chimney support. All in all i am very pleased with the work that was completed and would definatly recommend and use Nick again for this type of job.

Nick was very punctual on all 3 days. The work carried out was done to a very high standard and throughout the 3 days all of his team were tidy and hard working. If we required any further work, we would not hesitate to hire Nick again.

Nick, built an excellent wall, on time and to budget. He did not miss a day, and started promptly at 7:30 each day. I would have no hesitation to re hire for other work.

Nick did a great job. He turned up at the promised time, explained what needed to be done and why, tidied up afterwards and kept to the original quote (even though there were a few unforeseen obstacles resulting in extra work to get the lintel in place).
