"Bill did a fantastic job of our home extension. We ran in to several problems along the way and he found solutions to them all, each time ensuring the design was solid before progressing. The project included steels underground, new foundations as well as building on an existing extension, fitting a bathroom, painting and Bill managed the project from start to finish. We had regular updates on progress and Bill was always quick to answer our queries. All tradespeople who worked on the project were professional and friendly. We’re very happy with the result and would highly recommend Lakes"

Our garage floor needed fixing. The team advised what would be suitable to do the job properly, were clear about how to fix it for long term results. They assessed the site and managed to fit our small job in quite promptly. Communication was great at all stages and the team worked solidly. They were punctual, friendly and did a great job. I would recommend them.

We were recommended to Lakes Builders by friends that had previously used their services and highly recommended them. Our project was a full kitchen refurbishment including supply and fitting the kitchen, electrics & plumbing and new flooring. The works carried out ran very smoothly and was managed by bill very well, making sure we were kept up to date with every part of the process. To have a full concept to completion service without any problems was just amazing. We will definitely be using Lakes Builders again in the future.

Can't fault Billy and the team. They were punctual and tidy through out the project and communication was excellent. Very happy with the standard of work and the level of care taken and very happy with the end result. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend.
