Built a second storey extension on an already existing single storey. Extended front wall out to meet the main house.

"We enjoyed having Adrian and his team here. They were a pleasure to have around. Very friendly, tidy and chatty. We have 2 young kids and they were always very chatty to them.
Adrian was quick to come back to us with a quote after we gave him the plans and thought it was very reasonably priced. He came over a week or so before the start of the build just to discuss and go through everything and what we should expect.
Once the build was underway, we bombarded them with little extra jobs here and there and they didn't hesitate to do them, we got the invoice at the end for all the extras which was agreed at the very start.
We are very happy with the work we received, we were kept informed of progress and always kept up to date with what the plan was for the few days in advance. Everything was tidied away as best as could be done every day (especially Paul!), which was appreciated.
We changed a couple of things during the build which was not a problem, the team were very accommodating of any changes we made (however last minute)!
If we ever asked for advice, they always guided us and recommended the best way to do things without being pushy.
We would highly recommend A&J construction to anyone who was looking to do any building work and wouldn't hesitate to use them again!"

Extension to the rear and side of property.

"Adrian and his team were brilliant throughout this project, we couldn't have picked a better builder! Adrian gave us ideas initially on how we could extend our bungalow, and recommended where we could get our plans drawn. Adrian and his team worked very hard from start to finish. Every step of the way they kept us informed, and discussed everything with us. Nothing was to much of a problem. The team were tidy, quiet and a pleasure to have working on our bungalow. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and look forward to having them back in the future."

Demolish pre fabricated bungalow and construct modern, detached, 3 bed chalet bungalow with garage, building up to roof level - creating a shell for the client fit out.

"Adrian and his team were excellent from start to finish. The removal of the old bungalow required careful demolition which they undertook safely and in good time. A clear explanation of the implications of us needing to dig deeper foundations was given and the guys easily overcame any difficulties below ground. Stuart’s brickwork is excellent, very neat and of a high standard. Adrian was happy to discuss small changes to the plan as time progressed and working this out was made easy. When small issues or snags came up, these were also dealt with in a professional and easy way. The end result was finished to a high standard and looks excellent. I would certainly use Adrian and his team again and have already done so, since the building was complete."

Construction of a double fronted Cart Lodge Widening the existing drive Conversion of an existing double garage and kitchen to a kitchen/dining area which involved the removal of an internal wall

"Very professional and reliable

Costs were fully provided at outset. We paid in 5 stage payments and these were completed precisely in line with the initial documentation/quotation.

Arrived when expected and completed each stage in line with their promise.

Even sent us video recordings to show us how the work was progressing during the holiday that we took during the demolition/construction work within the house.


We would not hesitate to recommend this team."

Block paving to the entrance to the drive

"We found Adrian and his team to be polite and helpful. Start date was managed very well. The team was prompt and hard working. The work was carried out extremely professionally and timely which minimized disruption. The resulting entrance-way is now the envy of the village. We would certainly recommend Adrian and his team and will definitely use him again."

Two-storey side extension (ground floor garage and first floor bedroom and shower room) and roof replacement on existing house, plus minor fencing and groundworks.

"We first used A&R Construction two years ago for a single-storey rear extension and a new kitchen and were evidently happy with their services as we turned to them again for our recent two-storey side extension and roof replacement. Everything was done on time and within budget and to a good standard. A couple of minor post-completion issues were dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Just as two years ago, we're delighted with the work and the finished article. The work came in at the quoted price, despite a few little extra odd-jobs being carried out (including improvising a last minute replacement for a floorboard before carpet went down, as I couldn't get a 15mm thick floorboard at that short notice anywhere!). Prior to our initial project two years ago we were worried about the whole client/builder relationship as you hear so many horror stories but Adrian, Rupert and their team (special mention to Mark who worked on both projects) were all approachable and easy to get along with. I've even had a couple of neighbours mention that it's a shame they're no longer here!"

We had an external door and window removed, bricked up and smaller window put in. The inside was mad good. They also removed the plumbing, toilet and sink from a loo. And finally they put water and drainage in ready for a kitchen fit.

"We are extremely pleased with A & R Construction. They were polite, professional and did a good quality job. I would not hesitate in using them again or recommending them."

First floor extension over double garage

"Adrian and his team at A&R Construction were fantastic. We gave them a deadline (new baby on the way!) which they stuck to and beat, they stuck to the quoted budget and were polite and tidy throughout the build.

The team made some minor amendments at my request without extra charge, undertook some small extra pieces of work again at no extra charge and where there was an amendment that would incur an unbudgeted charge, this was fully explained to my satisfaction before I agreed to it.

For my own enjoyment I undertook a timelapse film of the whole build (which Adrian and his team were fully aware of) and it shows them to be hard working, turning up on time every day and doing a full day's work every day. There was certainly no sloping off early or long lunch breaks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQAT6rxdzM8

Adrian wasn't on site every day and talking to his team alone they obviously enjoy working for him and with each other and showed good team work and a willingness to get the job done and done well.

The build was finished to a high standard, all sub contractors were managed well and coordinated with the main build perfectly, even when I insisted on a specific contractor for the heating they were accommodated into the schedule well.

Having work done like this can easily make a mess of the house and garden, but any mess or inconvenience to us was kept to a minimum and the site was cleaned and swept regularly.

They were recommended to me by a friend and I have since recommended them to other friends who are thinking of having similar work done."

Single storey, pitched roof extension

"A & R Construction recently completed the building work on our bungalow extension.

The work was completed within the time frame proposed and for the price quoted. There were no unexpected additional costs added at the end of the job and the building work was to a very high standard. We had two builders that worked on the project from start to finish who were a pleasure to share our house with. Disruption and mess was kept to a minimum.

My wife and I would thoroughly recommend A & R Construction to anyone looking for competent, friendly and hard working builders who show pride in their work.

We couldn't be more pleased.

A&R undertook an extension to our existing bungalow. This included the removal of an conservatory. A&R were asked to cover all aspects of the build to include electrics, heating,flooring and decorating.

"From the initial meeting with Adrian Gowing to the paying of the final invoice the work undertaken by himself and his team has been outstanding. Every workman was on time, polite, courteous but above all superb tradesmen.An additional point to note was that none of the workmen were smokers and therefore time was not lost for a 'fag' break. All workers were meticulous about taking their breaks and were never seen misusing the time allocated for them. Both the smoking and breaks were a real plus for the company and greatly appreciated by our family. I would trust leaving my house and for the team to work in my absence. I would not say that about many firms.Nothing was a problem for them and I would recommend them to anyone. Hopefully they will be back later in the year to build us a new kitchen."

A&R completed many tasks to turn a small kitchen and neighbouring small living room into a family space, then creating a storage and laundry area from an old car port.

"The team arrived each morning at 7.30am, and before I left for work I was updated with information on the tasks they expected to do that day. I felt fully informed throughout the job which was split into 2 parts. They worked indoors taking a wall down, bricking up a doorway re-plastering and making good. Of course there was dust, but not as much mess as I had anticipated. They contained the mess and respected my home. The second task was to transform a pretty ramshackle garage into a secure storage area with a new window and door. I am really pleased with the results and with the respect that A&R Construction showed to us throughout. I would definitely recommend Adrian and his team."

To build a single storey extension at the rear of the property with a vaulted ceiling and velux window including a cloak room and utility room.
 

"Adrian & his team were excellent. They were on site early everyday working hard! They were tidy and tried to keep disruption to a minimum as I was still living on site. The quality of work was high and if I wanted something changed it wasn’t a problem. A very friendly team and would recommend them to friends and family."

Convert a small room into nursery toilet and double sink, install outside tap. Provide a wooden covered area, astroturf the space underneath, fence around the outside, including 2 gated access point. Construct an internal gate. Painting a classroom.

"Adrian and his team were fantastic. I am very selective and over cautious when it comes to builders and contractors, but I needn't have worried. They were great, excellent communication, super workmanship and very reasonably priced. We'll be asking them back for other works as and when they come along.
A very personal service, helpful and thoughtful. Would highly recommend.
