P.J.Hawes (Contractors) reviews (13)

Pete was wonderful. He assessed the job within 24 hours of me posting it and gave us honest and useful advice. The job was nowhere as big as we'd originally thought - and probably no real test for Pete's masonary skills - nevertheless he was a true professional and carried out the job to the highest of standards. In the knowledge that our fire installation will be on a Monday, Pete even came out to do the job on the Sunday immediately prior - to ensure that we weren't left with a gaping hole in the fireplace for too long. A step that really was 'above and beyond'. I'm really happy to recommend his services to anyone requiring a stonemason. Pete is a true professional.

Our project was a 3-storey extension to an 18th century Cotswold stone cottage. The work involved carefully matching the new stonework to the existing cottage and building up to roof plate; installing oak lintels and beams; building a chimney and opening for a fireplace; creating openings to connect the existing cottage to the extension; and plastering the interiors of both. Pete brings to bear very many years of expertise and experience to building projects. We were extremely pleased with Pete's work and have been complimented by neighbours and friends who have seen the quality of his stonemasonry. We felt that his pricing was fair and represented very good value for money. He is a highly skilled reliable builder/stonemason whom I would recommend to anybody.

Our project was a two storey rear house extension, creating an additional double bedroom, additional loft storage and a large kitchen family room. All of the work carried out is of a very high standard. In fact our window contractor commented on how straight and true all the window and door apertures were. Pete always turned up when he said he would, nothing was too much trouble, and we had complete confidence that all the work undertaken was being done to a high standard. The inevitable snags were dealt with swiftly and in a profession manner. Pete made a great job of our extension and we are delighted by the results. I have no trouble at all in recommending P J Hawes Ltd for any building work you may be considering.
