How to find a reliable builder in West London?!

[TadlowDogIncident]

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.)

Yes please. I'd be grateful.

Hi flatlover34
Would it be ok to let me have the details too.
Thanks

Try to use a builder that has been recommended to you. Stay away from the websites as a lot of the reviews and identities are completely fake.

I can recommend www.sdbuild.co.uk
Did a lot of building work removing the existing concrete floor and redoing with underfloor heating. Followed on with oak floor, bespoke cabinets and other bits and bobs like skirting, maintenance on doors, etc.
I didn't use him for decoration as I thought I could get it done cheaper but I am regretting that now.
The painter my neighbour recommended really has made a mess but baby number 2 now born and I'll just have to live with it.

Can anyone recommend a builder to make the loft more accessible by installing a ladder etc. So far the quotes have been high or builders are not interested as it is a day job. Looking for someone that does not demolish the roof. Location: north-west (zone3). Thanks

Hello SH77,

I am looking for a reliable builder too. Did you have any luck with Tiptoe or any other builder? If yes, could you PM me their details please?

Many thanks.

Hi there,

I am looking for a good and reliable builder that charges reasonably like the one you have just mentioned and would be grateful if you can give me his contact details for a loft conversion and refurbishment please.

Your help would be highly appreciate.

Kind regards,

Hi. Looking to take down an old bathroom & place in a new one in Ealing. Have heard of mixed results for the various trade websites (Rated people, mybuilder). Any guidance much appreciated.

Hi

Hello everybody. I am so excited to just share my joy. You see I am an artist. The creator, I call myself....no hashtags n stuff. To create I needed a loft...my own special hideout in my family home. My own space. I had all these ideas in my head. That's when I came.into.contact with Jonas Stanius and met his team. Wow! These guys were worth the shot! He helped me bring my mind creations to life when he gathered the Lux-Construction.team. Wow..I love my escapade..my space! I really think they are worth checking out if your place needs any uplifting or revamping

Tadlowdogincident - out of curiosity who did you use in the email now do?

Err which builder did you use?

Thanks

Hi , can you please share the details of the builder you recommend with me. I am looking to construct a porch and redo my driveway. Unfortunately, my previous builder left me in the middle of my job

My home is in west london .

Hello!
We used Tiptoe a year ago (I contacted them having seen the review on here).
They were OK. Started well and some nice staff, but ultimately left the project with quite a few badly botched jobs and had moved on to other work 2/3rds of the way through ours- as I hear most builders do- we were left chasing them around to finish things and get straight answers - let alone finish the job well, always had an excuse and never an apology, we are pretty laid back and had tried hard to keep a good relationship with them but it was a struggle.
We need more work done unfortunately and I've all but given up on finding a decent builder. I've asked neighbours and friends... They all seem too busy (it's a loft conversion and two bathroom installations). We can't even seem to even get quotes - is anyone else having the same issue? Has anyone in the the area found a company who sees work through and to a good standard? Thanks for your help 🙏
We have however found a great tiler, plumber and wooden floor installer though if anyone needs a recommendation for any of those trades, I'd happily pass the respective details on.

Hi there,

Can anyone please give me recommendations for builders in South West London? We’re looking to do some work to our place, new kitchen, electrics, floor, stairs, built in wardrobes and new floor.

Thank you!

We hunted around for a while hearing a few horror stories before going with our neighbours recommendation; homeconcepts; they were not the cheapest although we got an amazing renovation / extension and couldn't be happier; we let them take a load of photos as we were a little house proud and they are up on the website; www.homeconcepts.co.uk
