Trustworthy builders in Bristol?

We have never had any problems with our flat before so struggling to know where to start with finding a reliable builder - can anyone recommend a good firm? We are looking for someone who can do an emergency job in our bathroom (leak has caused a load of rot and damp), most of the builders with good reviews on Checkatrade etc seem to be all booked out but there must be someone good who can do a fast response....?

Mme, I can't recommend someone great AND fast. Have just finished a major build and our builders were excellent, but they are booked up until at least Easter next year...

@hettie Would be great to hear their name even if they are booked up.

I would also be keen to know any recommendations, starting an extension build in the spring and need a reliable, but reasonably priced builder (if such a thing exists!)

It's really hard get builders in Bristol. We just waited 10 months for our builder to be free to do a project for us

Hi everyone, I'd love it if someone could provide the details of a tried and tested, reliable builder. I'd like to have some renovation work carried out on our flat next October but I know how quickly they get booked up so I'm trying to plan ahead.

WetDogLovesHubert · 21/11/2017 16:37

Feel free to pm me for details of a very good builder I have used.

I’d also love any recommendations for the Bristol area. Looking for a new bathroom and kitchen to be fitted as well as knocking through to create a kitchen/diner.
Thanks Smile

Am happy to provide a recommendation if you send me a pm but it's likely that they won't be available for the next 6 months possibly longer.

They only do big jobs, but we used C&A Johnson and they were excellent. Really superb

My husband runs a reliable building firm. He set it up to protect people from rogue traders after getting ripped off by a cowboy builder and now they are 30 strong and provide complete peace of mind. He works with many pregnant clients and helps make the building work as easy and stress free as possible. They are not the cheapest (there rates are middle / average) but the workers take the time to deliver a top quality job and they pay all their taxes (CIS, PAYE, VAT, Corporation Tax). Here is a link to their website www.bristolbuilders.net

2 out of the 4 websites posted in this thread no longer working, seems like a lack of building companies in Bristol?

I recently had Bristol Trades do some work on my house and was happy with the service. https://bristoltrade.co.uk/

I didn't use an architect as suggested in this thread as was relatively small project
