A Class Building Services Limited

From the initial communication and meeting with John (and Shelly), everything with our project (loft conversion, rear extension and installation of external insulation and render) was conducted in an extremely friendly, competent and professional manner. Having spoken with A Class about a previous piece of work and seen numerous examples of their work and the way the work was conducted (i.e. clean work site, nicely fenced off etc.) I was very keen for them to carry out our building work and so was pleased that when their quote came in, that a) I felt it was priced fairly and b) it was laid out in a way that showed that the scope of work had been understood (unlike some other quotes) and clearly identified what was and wasn't included. The actual work was carried out within the anticipated time frame and within the quoted price (excluding any additional work). John and his team were very conscientious and professional in the way the work was completed - nothing was ever too much trouble and we never felt like we were unaware of what was being undertaken. As with any building works, things are never as straightforward as the drawings would imply, but John (as others have correctly said) always seemed to be a couple of steps ahead and if issues were identified, would come to you with options on how to resolve them. All of the contractors John utilises (roofers, plasterers, plumbers, electricians etc.) were excellent and was obvious from the quality of their work (and their conduct) why John uses them. Any additional work we wanted doing was discussed and prices agreed with no issue and again we felt the pricing was fair. Overall, we are very happy with the whole experience of using A Class and would without hesitation use them again. We have and will continue to recommend to friends. Thank you John, Shelly and team.

My wife and I embarked on a major rebuild/ renovation of an old bungalow that had seen much better days, the building had been heavily extended over the years. The existing build quality ranged from poor to very poor. A Class visited site to take an initial look and advise on basic, time frames, potential pit falls and where we could save on time and money all for a better end result. In summary, an excellent start. The site was very professionally set up and cordoned off. Once work started the pace was astounding, the demolition was completed incredibly quickly and all mess constantly managed and taken away. Being a very exciting personal project for my wife and I, we visited site everyday to see the changes taking place. We were talked through in detail about each stage of the work in detail, how it will interact with the next and so on. Being fairly secluded we only have one neighbour, A Class saw to it that they were kept in the loop of what was happening and how long elements would take this eliminated any concern they may have had. The work was planned like a military operation and executed as such, materials, trades and stages were all hit on comfortably on time. I cannot emphasis enough how important we found the advice on cost, different materials, pros and cons of how things could be done and why were to us. We had/ have total trust in the building team, and they delivered bigtime. Inevitably on a project of this size we hit some problems surrounding the original build, these were quickly identified, potential courses of action and cost explained, agreed, and completed. The advice on brands, where to put fixtures and fittings we also found extremely helpful, where savings could be made, where to spend a little more where of enormous help. To us it isnt a coincidence that interested friends and relatives visited the project, some being trades people who really know what they are looking at all commented on the amazing quality of the buildthe walls, the carpentry and plumbing. Moving further into the project, the plastering, the finishes, how tight and solid everything seemed to be. In short people have been extremely impressed. This is not to mention the speed and efficiency this was all completed at. A class regularly communicated with the architect and structural engineer and as a direct result plans were modified and refined. So, we have been left with the house of our dreams, it is beautiful, not just from a finishes point of view, but step into the loft and look at the work and cuts to the timber, everything has been done to the highest of standards and it is something to behold. The house has already changed how we live and shown us the positive powers that architecture can bestow upon people. I cannot speak more highly of the entire A Class team from back office to the site delivery team and finally the finished product. As they say the proof is in the pudding. We are very happy.

Accurate, fair and honest estimates. Pace of construction is fast but doesnt cut corners. Always involved us with options when problems were encountered. John is always at least 2 or 3 steps ahead of you when offering options to resolve issues and is focused on what you want rather than what may be easiest for his team to deliver. It was evident with the feedback received on site from the trades John uses that A-Class are very well respected within the industry, demands a high standard of finish and speed of delivery. Consequently, he has access to a well motivated team from start to finish. Some of the on-site singing by the crews, while a sign of people being happy in their work, can provide some entertainment to your day but we wont score that in this review :-) oh, and they deservedly worked their way up the quality of biscuits we offered. Have already recommended.
