Review of recommended builder in Peterborough

Review Date:
8th March 2021

Attached garage.

CDL carried out our kitchen extension a few years ago and this attached garage was to the same high standard.

Craig has a very good, well deserved reputation and works hard to keep it.

Excellent.

Review Date:

Summary:

  • Strip off front wall tiles and cladding
  • Break out inner blockwork
  • Tooth out existing brickwork
  • Insulate below the front windows and brick up
  • Shutter existing bay window opening
  • Clear out any debris left

Comments:

Craig visited us to discuss our plans for the front of our house. He made suggestions of the best brick we should use and was absolutely spot on with the colour match. Craig arrived promptly on the first day of work and was extremely neat and tidy. It's very clear that Craig takes pride in his work and company.

We would thoroughly recommend him and don' t think twice about contacting him.

Thanks Craig and your team.

Review of recommended builder in Market Deeping, Peterborough

Review Date:
26th November 2020

Summary:

  • Knock down and replace lean-to conservatory with a brick built utility room and WC, including replacing existing kitchen extension flat roof with tiled truss roof over both kitchen and new utility room
  • Built an extension on the other end of the bungalow with a tiled 'cut roof' to allow for a vaulted ceiling, including fitting of french doors, bespoke windows, internal bi-fold doors and plumbing and electrical work etc.
  • Adapting drainage to allow for new sinks, WC and provision of X2 new soakaways.

Comments:

Craig and his team were excellent from day one, they gave us confidence that we would get a great job done, which has proved to be the case. Craig's organisation was excellent throughout and without his forethought and planning I doubt the work would have been completed on time as it was, despite Covid!!  We were always kept informed about what was being done and any issues (along with solutions) so we were always up to date with progress.

The final building control inspection was completed today with no problems at all, as expected.

Our thanks to all of the team who were friendly, hard working, conscientious and skilled in their trades. We can definitely recommend CDL if you need a reliable builder!!

Review Date:

Summary:

Small ground floor extension and major internal remodelling.

Comments:

Having read all the previous reviews we cannot add anything else but to say that we wholeheartedly agree with the things other people say about Craig and the team. For our part they have been excellent throughout and we have recommended them already to several other people as reliable builders who communicate well with the client and produce a quality output.

Review of recommended builder and landscaper in Peterborough

Review Date:
5th June 2020

Summary:

New sun room built plus associated landscaping.

Comments:

We are very happy with our new sun room and give CDL Builders 10 out of 10 for all attributes especially the excellent managing of this project. Craig and his friendly team clearly take pride in their work and regard customer satisfaction as a priority.   

We are particularly pleased with the quality and workmanship of our finished sun room and how well it fits into its new landscaping. Here safety, changing a step for a gradual slope, and practicality, raising the level of new lawn to meet path have been executed very neatly. We appreciate the care Craig and John took to preserve the existing plants and provide exactly how we wanted the room patio and garden to be.

We will definitely use Craig and his team again.

We previously used Craig and the team for our extension and got them back to do our patio. Very happy once again and would get them back if I can find anything else to do!

Review of recommended builder in Bourne

Review Date:
13th January 2020

Summary:

Garage conversion.

Comments:

Superb is the word I would use for Craig and his workforce. We were given a 5 week schedule and it was completed on time. Extremely approachable for any queries that we had,  all tradesmen he called in were hard working and top notch, and all were clean and tidy in their work practices.

I would highly recommend you give CDL builders a call for any work you may be thinking of having done.

Review of recommended builder in Peterborough

Review Date:
20th December 2019

Summary:

The work, which was undertaken over a five month period with a break in the middle, included the demolition of conservatory, construction of a new room on conservatory footprint, conversion of the double garage to a bedroom, en-suite and dressing room and some reconfiguration of the downstairs area. 

Comments:

The work undertaken was to a very high standard and the care and attention to detail was well beyond our expectations. All the builders were polite and courteous and a pleasure to have in the house. They were incredibly polite and tidy, leaving the house clean and tidy every evening when they left. They were hard workers, and only stopped for tea breaks and lunch and were never seen standing doing nothing. We had no qualms about leaving the house when the builders were there as they were very trustworthy. 

I cannot recommend this company highly enough and would not hesitate to use them again for any future works.

Summary:

Rear extension and opening out of the downstairs floor plan (wall removals, RSJs etc)

Comments:

Work is top quality - Craig and his tradesmen are very friendly and courteous.  Craig also took also the project management effort out of our hands and handled it as part of his service.  Not sure we could have done it all without his help!

Thanks Craig (and John, Vince, George, Tom, Scott, and the rest of the team!)

Review of recommended builder in Peterborough

Review Date:
29th April 2019

Summary:

The work involved taking down the wall between the kitchen and dining room. The old kitchen ceiling removed and a new ceiling created that merged with the dining room. A doorway bricked up and new lighting installed in the kitchen.

The whole job was completed in two and a half weeks. Before Craig started work, he provided an itinary so we knew what was happening each day.

Comments:

Everyone involved started work punctually each day. All worked with a high degree of professionalism and expertise. They were friendly and polite at all times.

Craig and his Father-in-law took the wall down and ceiling within 2 days with minimal disruption. The wall was supported and passed by the Council. The plasterer did a marvellous job. The ceiling looks great with no join. The plumber and carpenter were quick and efficient. We are delighted with the spot lights and the work the electrician did.
