What our customers say
Genuine feedback from homeowners across Chelmsford and Essex, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 220+ reviews.
“We moved out for the ten weeks it took and came back to a house we barely recognised, in the best possible way. No nasty surprises on the bill and everything was exactly where they said it would be. Genuinely a relief after some of the horror stories friends had told us.”
“Turning the box room beside our bedroom into an en-suite felt ambitious given how little space we had, but they made every inch count. It feels roomy now, which I still can't quite believe.”
“We had the whole roof stripped and redone after years of patching it up ourselves. From the first visit they explained exactly what they had found and what it would take, and the finished job looks superb. Twenty odd years of experience really shows in the detail.”
“We went for a dormer to get a proper double bedroom out of the loft and it has completely changed how the house works for us. Genuinely pleased with the finish.”
“We finally have the island we always wanted and it has completely changed how the family uses the room. Everything was measured properly, the units line up beautifully, and they cleared up after themselves every single day.”
“We were a bit unsure about taking a load bearing wall down but they talked us through every step. The RSJ went in without any drama and you would never know there was ever a wall there.”
“Our lounge ceiling was covered in that swirly artex and I'd assumed it would all have to come down. They skimmed straight over the top and now it's flat as anything, ready to paint. Really chuffed with it.”
“Really pleased with our resin-bound driveway. Clean finish, no loose stones getting trodden into the house, and they kept everything tidy the whole time they were here.”
“The stack above our bedroom had a real lean to it and every gale left me nervous it might come down. Abbotts took it back to the roofline and rebuilt it dead straight. Solid as anything now.”
“Had a multi-fuel stove put into the old fireplace and the difference is lovely. They opened the chimney breast back up, lined it properly and left everything spotless. The lounge is so warm now we barely touch the heating.”
“They fitted a large steel beam to knock through into the garden and put in bi-fold doors that we now use every day. The structural side was handled carefully and the finish is spot on.”
“Our double storey extension gave us a bigger lounge downstairs and an extra bedroom above. Building control signed everything off without a single query, which told us the work had been done properly.”
“Complete new roof with a breathable membrane and new tiles. Everything explained clearly up front, no surprises on the bill, and the work was finished on schedule.”
“Fully insured, the guarantee in writing, and a patio that actually drains instead of holding puddles the way the old one did.”
“The renovation itself is excellent and the workmanship guarantee gave us real peace of mind. My one small gripe was a bit of back and forth getting the tiling confirmed at the start, but once things were underway it all ran smoothly. Would use them again.”
“There was one small snag with a radiator after handover and they had someone round the next morning to put it right. That sort of aftercare is rare these days. We would not use anyone else for future work.”
“The reveals around our bay window are sharp and true now, not a wavy line to be seen.”
“You could tell they treated the house as if it were their own, covering the floors, protecting the stairs, never cutting a corner where it counted. That respect meant a great deal to us.”
“Rebuilt our chimney stack over two days and made a properly neat job of it.”
“Old patio sloped back towards the kitchen and we'd had damp trouble because of it. They lifted the lot, levelled it and re-laid everything with the fall running the right way, and the wall has stayed dry ever since.”
“From the first visit to the final clean up they were polite and professional. Our new shower room is somewhere I actually look forward to using now.”
“Came out, had a proper look and talked me through what actually needed doing rather than what would cost the most. Chimney repointed and capped, and I'm very happy.”
“Had the old fireplace ripped out and the chimney breast plastered back flat, cracking job all round.”
“Reliable, tidy and genuinely good at what they do, our en-suite couldn't be better.”
