Review of builer in Deeping St James, Peterborough
- Review Date:
- 12th December 2013
Summary:
We had been experiencing some pools of water standing underneath our decking immediately outside our conservatory, these didn't seem to be going away, even through the long hot spells in the summer, it was also a concern that it would breach our dampcourse
Our garden has a large amount of heavy clay soil which wasn't allowing the water to escape so speaking to a few builders we decided to go with a soakaway
Old Court Builders were the company we chose to do the work, mainly based on the fact that we had seen them completing work around the area and the work looked to be of a good standard from what we could see.

Review of builder in Sutton St James
- Review Date:
- 1st July 2013
Summary:
Dealing with crumbling brickwork. Extending the roof. Rendering and applying a specialist coating to match the rest of the house.
Comments:
The work has been finished to a high standard and I am extremely impressed. After ringing various builders who either did not want to do the work, or could not do the work, I contacted Adrian, who was recommended to me.
Adrian was extremely helpful and explained everything thoroughly. Everyone involved in the process was courteous and treated my elderly mother with respect. After the work was finished they cleared up and left everything spotless.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and would certainly use them again.

Mr Sterry-Blunt is very personable and competent, as are the men that work for him. They worked hard and produced a good job with amendments accommodated easily by them. They were competitive on price and did not attempt 'add-ons'. They are honest, straight and 'above board'.

Review of work in Bedford Hall, Thorney
- Review Date:
- 1st March 2012
Summary:
Complete refurbishment of ladies and gents toilets.
Comments:
Bedford Hall is an 1855 heritage building and the toilets had not been upgraded since probably the 1950s / 1960s.
We had a very tight timescale (3 weeks) to get this work done as the hall has regular bookings for events and therefore this was a critical requirement for the project.
Although we had other quotes, Adrian stood out from all the others from the start. His response was by far the best and his quote was prompt and professional.
The work began and was completed around the schedule of the hall events with minimal disruption. Adrian delivered exactly what he said he would and within the tight timeframe - it was all completed a week before we had a wedding taking place!
Trustworthy, extremely reliable, excellent quality and we are delighted with the results.

Review of work in Longthorpe, Peterborough
- Review Date:
- 28th February 2012
Summary:
Old Court Builders previously carried out a two-storey extension a few years ago (2 new bedrooms and an ensuite) and having recently purchased a house that was built in the 1930's, where it had never been touched, we have had them back to carry out extensive work on it e.g., new windows, reinforcing the joists as there were numerous cracks in places, and the project is currently work in progress as there is a lot more to do.
Comments:
Adrian and the entire team are absolutely brilliant and absolutely excellent.
You can rely on them to do everything they say they will do e.g., if they say that the will turn up at 8am on a Monday morning, they will be there at 8.
All his team have been with him for a long time and he now has two sons that also work for him - each and every one of them are courteous, helpful, totally trustworthy, respectful and their expertise is unparalleled. Old Court Builders totally deserve 10/10 for everything - I cannot rate them highly enough.
Adrian Sterry-Blunt is a true gentleman builder, which I feel is very rare these days.

This is the first time we have used Old Court Builders, we had done a lot of work in the garden over the last two years and it was looking nice so when they started the soakaway it was a risk that they could have turned our back garden into a horrible mess! Instead they were respectful and caring and did the work with very minimal disruption or mess, they cleaned up what little mess they did make and left us in a very tidy condition, the only thing that is visible is where the turf was lifted and relaid however this will just need a little bit of work in the spring and we are confident that the garden will be back to its best
The staff who did the work were cheerful and interacted with us well, they discussed what they were doing and were happy to answer any questions along the way.
I would recommend that you try these people, we have two more jobs that we are planning to do next year and will definitely get a quote.
We are very happy with the service, work and staff.
