Coldwells Building Company Ltd

As Ross and Clare's neighbours we felt it only right that we employ them for our new build up the road. We have watched them bring a dilapidated cottage back to life for use in the 21st century so we already knew the quality of workmanship. Our kit went up rapidly and we are now ensconced in a warm wind and water tight house even on the windiest days. Services: New building construction, Home building

Ours was a small project, knocking through to add a "pod" to the back of the house that took us out about a metre from the original external wall x 3m. With the thickness of the wall we therefore added nearly 6m2 to our footprint. The idea was to get light into the back of the steading and, by removing the wall between the kitchen and hallway to open up the centre of the house. We are amazed at the result. It has transformed the way we live in the house beyond our best hopes. Ross and his team were fantastic. Right from the beginning Ross helped us refine the plan and kept us focussed on what we were trying to achieve. Everything was done to a very high standard, much of it in appalling weather. The guys were unfailingly cheerful, polite and helpful. Unlike many previous experiences with others, Ross never once said to me that there was a problem. There must have been plenty along the way but he never worried us with them - just solved them and got on. The quality of the work is fantastic, the communication reassuring - there is no question we would use Ross again. Thank you Coldwells! Service: Remodeling

The project undertaken by Ross Booth & his team at Coldwells Building Company Ltd was an extremely difficult reconstruction, involving the removal of a major part of the centre of the house, including the existing defective glass roof. A much more difficult project than a new build. The method suggested & used by Ross enabled us to remain in occupation during the year long reconstruction period. A major plus as far as we were concerned. The project was beset by many problems, including delays, extreme weather at precisely the wrong time, the coronavirus four month lock down & subsequent related subcontractor & component delays. None of these problems were caused by the contractor, whose involvement was exemplary throughout. Several contractors were used in the project, who were controlled & utilised admirably by Ross. This is a skill not possessed by many. Ross was always there when needed, always responded to any request, never had to be chased, frequently suggested solutions & improvements which were invariably spot on. Working with him was a pleasure. For the avoidance of doubt, I am not a passive client who is easily pleased. When I had this house built in 1992, my relationship with the contractor was a nightmare & a battle, ever step of the way & only narrowly avoided litigation at the end. This project was the total opposite & the reason was that Coldwells, like all really good companies, reflected its owner's values. If I were to undertake another major property project, either through myself or my Company, United Supplies Ltd, there would be no tender process, I would pick up the phone to Ross Booth, in the knowledge that I could not do better.

The scope of work was an extensive remodelling of several rooms involving structural engineering support, reflooring and re-roofing, and a double garage rebuild, on a Grade B listed site. Coldwells provided a professional, personal and high quality service throughout, being accommodating to scope changes and highly solution minded. Rosss solution minded approach and creativity were invaluable during challenges encountered and the end result was excellent. It was a pleasure to work with the Coldwells team and we would highly recommend them.
