GK Builders Limited reviews (57)

Kris and Gregor did a great job on our house. This was a logistically difficult job because the house is on an island in the West Coast with no builders merchants nearby. They turned up day one on time as promised and remarkably finished a few days earlier than planned. The few snagging items were dealt with quickly and with minimal fuss. Quality of work was very good and we would definitely use them again.

Chris and Greg hold 40 years of experience between each other and honestly you can tell. The quality of their work is outstanding with attention to smallest details. There was no delay or any major problems . They have completed full refurbishment of one bedroom apartment in George Square Glasgow: suspended ceilings, led lighting lithing throughout, plastering and painting, new wooden floors, build-in wardrobes, brand new fitted kitchen, tiling the batroom, plumbing, rewiring all in 4 weeks . Working to the budget . Very rare to find such a talented professional. Couldnt recommend them enough.

The work was good but their attitude was not. As soon as they started they requested money which was not agreed but I Reluctantly agreed to pay for sum of the materials and then a week went by and they requested more but I refused. The contract was with GK builders but they sub-contracted the work to somebody else and I refused to pay as the agreement was to pay once the work was complete. Once the work was complete some snagging was left I withheld some money but then the problems started to happen, firstly the waste pipe joint opened and flooded the kitchen unit, secondly noticed a gas leak to the hob and had to get a gas sure engineer to repair the fault as they did not answer their phone. The most important was the worktop joint which started to swell and I advised them by SMS because they would not pick up the phone. They eventually sent somebody around to do the snagging and he came and installed a pipe the ventillation fan but did not fit an external vent or filled in the hole on the outside and left in a hurry. Although I have some money to pay them but the damage to the worktops has caused me substantial loss has I have to get two more worktops and employ a joiner to fit the new worktops. They took a lot of time to complete the works and I would not recommend them to any one. I requested a receipt as this was my guarantee for two years but its not worth the paper its written on.

I was very pleased with the work carried out by Kris and Gregor. They completed the work on time and on budget to a very good standard. They were helpful with suggestions throughout the build and polite and very hard working. I would definitely recommend them for any project and will use them again for any future works. A very positive experience with no problems or delays. A satisfied customer.

We hired Kris and Gregor based on the 100% positive feedback they had on the MyBuilder site; the impression we had of them on their quotation visit and their pricing which was competitive. Kris, Gregor and the team managed what was quite a large and complex project exceptionally well. Over the 12 weeks of the complete flat refurbishment they worked tirelessly and professionally – keeping us updated and discussing any issues with us quickly and very amicably. The team stripped our Victorian flat back to bare bones and then rebuilt and modernised it to our plans – offering advice and making real improvements to our initial ideas. Work included covered: full re-wire, installation of central heating system and new pipework throughout, structural and layout changes, installation of a new kitchen and appliances, installation of a new bathroom, joinery and woodwork, and decoration throughout. Every job was carried out to a very high standard and to agreed timescales. We cannot recommend them highly enough and we will use Kris again should we ever require a builder (and have recommended to numerous friends already) – terrific and much appreciated. David & Annette

Kris & Gregor contact us with professionalism and when they came to our house they continued providing a professional approach to all matters in change. They are smart and have the expertise needed to do the job which is the perfect combination to have excellent results. They looked carefully all areas that they need to work on, they examined all wiring, piping etc carefully and they provided very satisfactory answers and opinions to all subjects. The work is still in progress but I felt confident with them from the beginning due to their professionalism and their quotation allowed us to hire them since they provided reasonable prices for the whole project.

Kris and Gregor completed the plastering of four rooms and a large hall stairs and landing as well as tiling and installing two bathrooms. The quality of their skimming and tiling is excellent and they were always willing to be flexible with their schedule to accommodate any changes that I needed. I recommend them and intend to use them again in the near future for further work - thanks Zelikbud!

I hired Kris to fit laminate in my entire flat of 4 bedrooms, living room, and hall plus vinyl in kitchen and bathroom. It was a tough decision to hire the right builder as you can't change laminate everyday and have to live with the quality whatever it is for a long time. In terms of workmanship and quality of work, overall it was 'OKish' but by no means top rated at all. It looks good overall but their are imperfections. They are not experienced in fitting vinyl and they should have been upfront about it. Some edges are cut short. Laminate makes squeaky noise in some areas and some planks have clear visible gaps where the planks have not been pushed all the way in. Part of the problem is my floor is not level but this is not the only reason and no floor in any house is perfectly level anyway. In terms of listening to customer and overall dealing I would give 10 out of 10 for that. The boys working on site were very punctual, never said no and were very approachable. They tried their best but at the end of the day we have to live with the imperfections. I called Kris to come have a look at the issues, he promised to come back but never did. Overall Kris and co are better than many Builders I have used in the past but still their are imperfections.

We asked Kris, Gregor and the team to completely renovate out conversion in the west end. This included stripping the house back to a bare she'll and completely renovating . I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their price was superb value and the quality of there work was second to none. The finish is outstanding . I have already have them lined up for some more work in the house

We were unfortunately let down by a different company on the day the remodelling of the kitchen in our tenement flat was supposed to start. This actually turned out to be a stroke of good luck as Kris, Gregor and the Zelikbud team visited at short notice, gave us a very competitive quote and were available to start our within the week. Given the delay from the first builders, the Zelikbud team had less than three weeks to complete the work but they were positive they could meet the timescales. The work included rewiring, replumbing, installing a whole new kitchen and appliances, installing new radiators, building a new partition, plastering all walls and ceiling, installing skirtings, tiling – the works! On top of all this, we were extremely fussy clients with a very clear design objective for the room, and despite additional tasks being required at various times throughout the programme, nothing was too much hassle for Gregor and the team. The work was completed on time and within the agreed budget. We would whole-heartedly recommend Zelikbud to anyone considering remodelling/refurbishment works – they are incredibly hard working, they maintained communication throughout the project and their attention to detail across all the trades was unbelievably high. Keep up the good work!
