Ray and his 2 sons, did a fantastic job building our kitchen extension. We are delighted with the quality and standard of their work. They kept to the schedule, and despite some bad weather finished when they said they would. They were also very thoughtful and practical in offering solutions to any problems which arose. Their qualities were also reflected in the trades they used, and their friendliness and ease of approach meant the 3 months of disruption to our kitchen were as pleasant as they could be. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

I contacted Alderson Building Company on the 12th of June 2020 and booked an appointment for the following Monday for a visit. The gentleman turned up and even called before he came out which I appreciated. I spent around 45 minutes discussing my needs and the access issues and measuring up was then done. I was advised it would be around a week for a quote which I was okay with however, after waiting over a week I received a text message advising me that they had had an influx of work and were unable to even provide me with a quote. I deliberately searched for a company through the Which? site and made an effort to look at reviews to get a decent company however I am disappointed and am no further forward than I was 2 weeks ago.

Following a great job building our extension (reviewed at the beginning of the year), Ray and his team have completed an en-suite shower room for us. The work was once again carried out to a high standard, and we are delighted with the result.

I needed two boundary walls built with bespoke fencing, I had general ideas of what I wanted, but had great advice From Ray, which gave us a Far better result. Being happy with the first project I asked the team to lay a difficult patterned slate patio, again really pleased. They listened to what I said, and gave me what I wanted. Happy to send photos if needed.

After doing a great job for us on some small internal alterations a few years ago we asked Ray and his team to complete a big project for us this year. We had our conservatory knocked down and a single-storey extension built in its place, plus a significant number of internal alterations which required numerous steel beams and associated construction. Once again, we are delighted with our finished renovation. Ray and his team worked with us for four months and were extremely thoughtful with regards to our living conditions and of those around us. They left the house spotless every day and our neighbours all commented on how considerate they were on the street throughout. They completed the project within the time scales they’d estimated and even completed a few extra bits that we’d identified along the way. Ray, Roy and Liam are a pleasure to have around the house. They are genuinely nice guys who take real pride in what they do which is demonstrated in the quality of their work. Their pricing is very fair for the quality of work they produce and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any future projects.

I purchased my first property in 2020 which needed a lot of work to be brought up to date. I had not hired a builder before and was finding it a little difficult. However Ray turned up promptly and advised me on the project, telling me what I needed to consider before an accurate quote could be produced. Based on his feedback I put together a more detailed plan and asked him to come back. He produced a quote which was fair and detailed and committed to getting the work started quickly. A lockdown was announced on the evening the work started which was unfortunate as the old kitchen had been removed that morning! Ray kept the team separated from the rest of the property, organised their own routes in and out and handled all their own refreshments. He also managed the procedures and bubbles for other trades who were needed so everyone felt secure. I was very grateful that this was managed professionally so that work could continue and my family wasn't left without a kitchen for months. I am very happy with the finished work, any extras were discussed and agreed as they arose and so the final bill contained no surprises. I was especially pleased that the work was done so quickly and that Ray project managed everything from unexpected issues with the kitchen supplier, to the additional trades and Covid restriction.

Alderson Building Company has recently completed a garage conversion and porch extension on our property. They were incredibly professional, friendly and communicated with us effectively over the course of the project. We are over the moon with how the work has transformed our home. We would recommend them to our friends and family, and to anyone else looking to do similar work.

Ray and his employees removed an old covering over our sideway and replaced it with a new clear plastic covering. They also built a new wooden frame to support the double polycarbonate roof and connecting strips. We were very impressed both with their work and pleasant attitude. It took them two days to complete the work, and we hardly noticed they were there. Later Ray came and repaired a brick wall in our front garden replacing a capping stone. A more cheerful and prompt builder could not be asked for and we highly recommend his staff and work.
