Review of work in Ryhall, Stamford

Review Date:
8th February 2012

Summary:

Downstairs cloakroom converted into disabled wet-room and study converted into bedroom.

Comments:

From start to finish, Old Court Builders were absolutely brilliant.

As my wife is bed-ridden, we had to have a major renovation of our downstairs area and Adrian and his team did a superb job. All the workers were hardworking and conscientious, arriving at 7:15 in the morning and they would work through with only half an hour for lunch. When I made them a cup of tea, they didnt sit around talking or reading the newspaper, they continued to carry on with the job.

They were very tidy and even the car was moved from the drive if they were doing something that caused a lot of dust. They were always smartly dressed, arriving in clean signed vans, giving an overall impression of a polished and professional company. They kept us fully informed on a daily basis as to what was happening the next day and were also extremely considerate to my wife and would ensure that she encountered the minimal amount of noise and disruption.

The work was scheduled to last for twelve weeks and when we discovered that the floor-boards under the old cloakroom were rotten and damp, Adrian supplied a humidifier (at no extra cost) so that it could be dried out as quickly as possible, so that the waterproof flooring could be laid and for the schedule not to overrun - the work was finished by the twelfth week as planned, with all rubbish taken away via three lorry loads.

I previously worked as a tradesman and my neighbour is a professional bricklayer. During the course of the work, my neighbour came in to have a look and he was extremely complimentary about the quality of workmanship - I too agreed with all his comments.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new wet-room (with underfloor heating) and everything has been nicely finished off.

I cannot fault anything with Old Court Builders - it was a pleasure to have this company in our home and I would recommend them without hesitation. They are a credit to what Safe Local Trades stands for and if anyone wanted to see the quality of their work, then I would be happy to show them.

Review of work in Orton Waterville, Peterborough

Review Date:
7th February 2012

Summary:

We have used Old Court Builders twice - first was for an extension on our old house and for our new property, they recently installed a new staircase, new doors and frames and reinstated some internal walls.

Comments:

Adrian instilled confidence in me the first time I met him when he came to quote for the extension on our old house. All his tradesmen are ace - they are also punctual and cleared up the area at the end of every day. I was always kept informed of what was going on and the quality of all the workmanship was excellent.

I would definitely recommend this company.

Review of work in Helpston

Review Date:
4th February 2012

Summary:

Two-storey extension comprising of two new rooms downstairs and a bedroom upstairs.

Comments:

When we originally moved into this house, we had an extension carried out by another building company (non-Safe Local Trades) and we did not have a good experience; there were delays, they didn't show up when they were supposed to without any notification and the quality of work was not to a high standard.

For this further extension, we used Old Court Builders and the comparison between both building companies were poles apart.

Old Court Builders were professional, courteous, punctual, kept us up to date at all times with the progess of the project, and the skill-base of the workers was second to none, including meticulous brickwork and carpentry - we had no complaints with them whatsoever.

I have already recommended Old Court Builders to other people in the village and they have used them too. Highly recommendable.

Review of work in Stilton

Review Date:
2nd February 2012

Summary:

Part of garage converted into a room.

Comments:

We couldn't have asked for anything more from the services provided by Old Court Builders.

All the workers were polite, considerate and went out of their way to ensure that I had everything I asked for. They were all professional and trustworthy and I am really pleased with the excellent quality of the workmahship and all was completed within the given timescale of two weeks.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
