The finished job came in on budget and they had people on site everyday for the duration of the project. It was quite a big job (2 storey side extension with 2 new bathooms), but Todd and his team got it done in a very reasonable timescale. He was very flexible and went out of his way to keep the gas on and lounge available as long as possible. He was very attentive and pro-active and we were able to completely trust him and his team. On a personal level, we got on very well with Todd and his team and they genuinely made the process painless for us, nothing was too much trouble and Todd's experience attention to detail kept the project flowing smoothly. I couldn't recommend them enough." > — Andy (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "Todd came back with a competitive and fair quote, which was very comprehensive and included everything.

Over last summer they carried out extensive renovation works in our house, from replacing the windows to rewiring via remodelling and redecorating several rooms with all work completed to a very high standard. From start to finish they have helped us to turn our vision for the house into reality - they listened to our sometimes vague ideas, gave sound advice on how to achieve our goals or suggesting alternatives that we would not have considered. The whole team were courteous and considerate as they worked and were genuinely nice people to be around. Sometimes it can be difficult finding someone truly interested in delivering what you want - so If you are looking for more than just a builder, but want to work with a firm in a truly collaborative way to achieve your desired results then Ayling are the people you need. We have already booked them for more work in 2026!" > — Neil (5.0, via TrustATrader) ## Trades Builder ## Independent verification _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MTT is showing 167 public reviews on this profile.
