How to find a reliable builder in West London?!

82 replies

TadlowDogIncident · 06/03/2012 20:01

Can anyone recommend a reliable builder in the West London area? We're about to move to Ealing and will want some work done more or less straight away on the house we're buying - recommendations gratefully received. (We've used Rated People to find builders in the past but have had mixed results: I don't know who all the builders are who are desperate for work, because they don't seem to be looking for it on there.)

I have actually had reasonably good results from myBuilder and so has my neighbour. I like how people who are available for work will reply. I have had two good plumbers , and reasonably good odd jobs people (but they couldn't do plastering I found out). Tomek Cwiklinski is really good at doing big jobs, installing boilers etc. Matt Smith does plumbing on the side of his fireman job so good for smaller jobs. If you need numbers please message me. I am looking for a decent builder who has experience in loft conversions (specifically means of escape) for West London. The person must be excellent in their paperwork and be able to deal with an unusual building control inspector. Not sure if any of the above recommendations would suit?

I think checkatrade might be full of fake reviews too - I have my suspicions.

Floggingmolly, just sent you the contact.

venys, the guys my sister will use have experience in extensions and lofts and they offered project management and building control service in the booklet I have seen. Not sure about means of escape but it may worth a try. I can send you the contact as well.

Our family extremely happy with Frank and his team

We've just come to the end of our first project with Frank's team and we're absolutely delighted with the results. In little over 7 weeks, our house has been completely transformed - re-plastering and redecorating throughout, damp proofing,...

We were very happy with everything Frank did for us. Always there when he said he would be, worked quickly and efficiently. Top quality job. We would definitely use his firm again. No 077 83909795

Just wanted to drop a note of recommendation for Artur - 07424731125 //www.atbconstruction.co.uk

Having recently bought a flat in Battersea, and was in desperate need of a professional plasterer and decorator to make it livable. (it was a real fixer upper!) Artur was able to exceed my expectations and suggest building methods that i would have never thought of myself. by cutting out the middle man, I was also able to save money on the whole process. The finishes are perfect!!!! (I went for traditional Quintessential finishes such as coving, high rise skirting, and traditional Architraves for the doors - absolutely in love!)

Hi All, my sister`s bathroom is now finished and looks amazing with a huge walk in shower. I have booked in my kitchen refurb with the same builders for next month. Hoping to get a dream kitchen :) The builders are very professional and the prices are very competitive, I can only recommend them to everybody

I was genuinely nervous about having the only bathroom in the house renovated as well as replacing the old combi-boiler as I planned to live in my flat throughout the works.
Now that the project is complete, I pay tribute to Sigma Construction UK plumbers and builders! The bathroom looks fantastic, my radiators are warm & everything was completed on time as promised! This is definitely great company; I'd not hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat. You can find them here //www.sigmaconstruction.uk

Not sure if you are still looking but I have used an amazing team of builders for about four years on our buy to let properties. They always give the best price and are 200% reliable and efficient. Cannot recommend them enough and the number is 07966476862
