It happened just before Christmas day so I had to wait until Wednesday before New Years Eve. When I phoned AP Ward I wasn't very optimistic I would get a reply, but Tony answered almost immediately. He agreed to meet me at my fathers house on the Saturday morning. He arrived right on time and we discussed the best way to proceed. We thought it was caused by a leaking pipe, and I received a quote two days later. Tony replies to emails or Whatsap messages, often within minutes. A date was set for repairs about a week later. The job turned out to be rather more complicated than expected and Tony asked if I could meet him again on site to go through what was involved. As I could only get over at weekends he agreed to meet me on the Sunday, which I think is very impressive. Tony sent a new quote very quickly and ordered scaffolding because it now involved work on the kitchen roof. Despite rain almost every day they managed to get the job done quickly. Tony is very helpful and communication is excellent. Although they were very busy they managed to get my job done quickly and efficiently. I was happy with the quote, but the final invoice actually came in below that price. Again impressive. I would definitely recommend AP Ward Ltd." > — Customer in Greater London (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "I use A P Ward to undertake building type work which I would have undertaken myself when younger. This time was vacuum gutter cleaning for a difficult to access gutter. Previously replacing an external duct fitting at 1st floor level and cleaning/sealing a length of 1st floor guttering. I will call on their services again when I have the need." > — Customer in Greater London (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "I have used AP Ward Building Services on previous occasions and have always been happy with the friendly and helpful service received. I have just had my bathroom repaired by them after water damage from upstairs flat and I am very happy with the result. I intend using their services again for various work in the near future. If you need a job doing get the right people and they are the right people. Highly recommended." > — Customer in Greater London (5.0, via Which?

Trusted Traders - Public evidence last checked April 2026 ## Before you hire a builder _What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_ - Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done. - Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced. - Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07956810223 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders — https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/a-p-ward-building-services-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
