Hammer and Trowel Building Services Ltd

Lewis and his team worked very hard on our garden makeover. Everything was left neat and tidy at the end of each day, and we were regularly updated on what was going to happen next. Meticulous to the ridiculous. We will definitely use them again, and have already recommended Hammer and Trowel to friends and family.

Lewis and team were professional throughout our project, even starting a few weeks early to get ahead of schedule. They provided great suggestions for both our interior and garden, leaving us extremely pleased with the end result. We would highly recommend Lewis and the Hammer & Trowel team.

Lewis and his team built our ground floor extension and landscaped our garden last year. We knew as soon as Lewis came to give us the original quote that we wanted him and his team to do the work on our house. His true professionalism and knowledge was instantly noticed by us and we knew we would be safe in the hands of Hammer and Trowel. We stumbled across a few hurdles during the planning stages after we discovered that our house was built on a raft. This caused us some concerns but not for Lewis, he was amazing and assured us that the additional work required would be done within the timeframe and totally worth it in the end. The team at Hammer & Trowel were always here bright and early and ready to work, the dedication and reliability was something that we appreciated and there was nothing too much trouble to ask them. We had a lot of ideas throughout our build which Lewis was always happy to listen to and help with, making suggestions to not only make it affordable to us but to ensure it looked as high quality as possible. We had been putting off getting our extension built for years because of the horror stories wed heard about bad and unreliable builders. But I can wholeheartedly say that not once did we have any problems with Lewis and his team. Were genuinely so happy with the job Hammer and Trowel did. Our house has gone from that to a home. Everyone that visits comments that our house looks amazing. We now have a living room and garden which we can actually enjoy as a family and look forward to inviting people over. Our two sons love playing in the garden with the dog now and we love getting home at the end of the day and relaxing in our new lovely space. We have been so impressed with the quality of workmanship from Lewis and his team that we did not hesitate to call him and the team back to tackle our kitchen. Stay tuned for an update on that! Massive thank you to Lewis and the team at Hammer and Trowel. We thoroughly recommend the team!

Our first encounter with Hammer and Trowel was a commission for them to build a large retaining wall for us. We had embarked upon a substantial garden re-landscaping exercise in our newly acquired bungalow. Well, the enthusiasm and artistic talent in the design and completion of the wall was exceptional; so much so that we invited them back to build our "yellow brick road" which leads from the middle terrace of our garden up to the top terrace. Once again Hammer and Trowel did not disappoint, the attention to detail and artistic delivery was above expectation. The pathway looks extremely attractive and the bricks have been laid with expert precision. The team can be relied upon to adhere to time keeping, professional execution of works and tidiness that goes beyond the call of duty. Hammer and Trowel have also been responsible for the external repainting of our property, including the roof. All exterior guttering and brackets were removed, woodwork rubbed down, no stone unturned to provide us with an excellent result which we are absolutely thrilled with. We will look forward to our next commission. Linda and Tim McKenzie. Oxted.

We were recommended to contact Hammer & Trowel for a quote & their opinion regarding the work required for our front extension which we started in May 2021. We were very impressed with Lewess knowledge, ideas and assistance with our build & particularly regarding the plans our architect had drawn up, Lewes spotted within these plans ideas that would not be possible. However, Lewes was able to keep the building work going (changing these plans would of caused serious delays), accomplished a much better outcome that was still within the original building regulations & he ensured that our house was still kept aesthetically pleasing even with these changes that were not part of our original design. Lewes and his team encountered a variety of unfortunate material delays all of which were out of their control and due to Covid but regardless of these delays they kept us informed & ensured other areas of the build were ready to go as soon as the materials required arrived. Lewes also created our fireplace which I adore and considering I knew what I wanted but it was in my head Lewes and his team took my ideas & brought them to life I had a few weeks when I was away as well so after introducing Lewes to the other trades that I had on site, I was very comfortable leaving them all to liaise and communicate with each other during my absence to ensure the building works kept progressing in a timely manner being able to do this during a stressful time was a huge relief. Our build took in total 14 months to complete but like I said this was due to the delays that were out of anyones control regrading the arrival of materials but regardless of this, it was a true case of all hands on deck once everything had arrived and Lewes & his team worked weekends & later in the evenings to ensure everything was completed to a high standard but as quickly as possible as well. I would utilise Hammer & Trowel services again as we found the whole team friendly, professional, knowledgeable & reliable which when it comes to builders is absolutely essential! Thank you Lewes, Rob & H, our extension is everything you promised it would be!
