Sourcing the right builder who could convert our integral garage into another bedroom within our time frame and for a good price has proved very difficult but finding Chris Balsdon and his team made the effort well worthwhile.
They started promptly on the agreed date and kept us informed of progress daily. They were always friendly and helpful, left the site tidy at the end of the day and you could see took a real pride in the quality of their work. We are very pleased with the result and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I have used Alan Balsdon Builders on several occasions during the past 10 years – to build a two-storey extension; reroof various small outbuildings; to convert a tumble-down barn into a three-bed roomed cottage; to construct a full-height conservatory using structural steel; to build and install numerous windows and doors; as well as a number of smaller projects.

Alan Balsdon - friendly and competent firm

Every job – no matter how large or small – has been treated in exactly the same highly professional way.

Without exception all jobs have been completed on time, to budget, and to the very highest standards.

Once completed, the site is left in immaculate condition, and the after sales service is second to none.

I would have no reservation in recommending this friendly and competent firm for any building task, both on traditional and contemporary buildings. Absolutely first class.”
