Reviews of Builders in West Chesterton, Cambridge
West Chesterton, CB4
7 November 2012
Under £2,000
1. Victorian house with stairs perpendicular between the front room and the kitchen. There's a cloakroom under the stairs. Currently there is a door between the front room and the under-stairs cloakroom. Block this door, and create an equivalent one through the brick wall from the kitchen (the other side). May require a lintel - advice needed.
2. Create "utility room" using stud walls, partitioning a part of the kitchen. Door and plaster work. Will need an electrician for sockets and light, if you know one.
This job involved building an internal stud wall, bricking up an existing doorway, knockingo out a new doorway (through brick wall), plastering, fitting lighting and electrical sockets, fitting a sink and basin and various other plumbing, hanging doors, and fitting a kitchen worktop. Brian and his colleagues did an efficient and good quality job. We have no complaints and would use him again.

Mixed works on a residential 2 bed property in Cambridge. The house was refurbished 18 months ago. Additional works are required to bring the house up to a very good standard throughout. We believe the list below includes all works necessary. Please contact us if you would like to arrange a site visit prior to providing a quote. LIVING AREA Sand
Working with Jacqueline from Digio Limited has been a very good experience. I do not hesitate to recommend Jacqueline to other customers, and will return to her and her team for any future work I wish to carry out in properties local to them.
Jacqueline's trustworthiness, intelligence, creative solutions-focussed approach and excellent customer service all make her stand out as exceptional. The workmen on site have worked to a standard which has exceeded my expectations.
I have used four teams of builders on different properties over the past 18 months. It is difficult to make any meaningful comparisons between Jacqueline's team and the other companies I have engaged, as none of the other companies can even get close to matching Jacqueline & her team's professional and straightforward approach.

Build a small partition wall and fit French doors to separate large dining area from living area.
Chris was a joy to have in the house and was quick and efficient, and I am very pleased with the end result. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris to other customers.

Unsold Job, Updated Details : Not sure on what the price should be - looks like £1000 was too low - so suggestions welcome.
Building size is aprox 10/12sq meters 2.5 mtrs high.
Pictures can be available before you make the trip if that helps.
Construction is wood frame with wood shingel tiled roof (not wanting to keep this so treat as a 'flat' roof for quoting purposes) and hemp concret walls (also happy to panel over this). My thoughts on tongue and grove may prove and expensive extra which we don't really need - so assume plaster board throughout - unless you can suggest something more appropriate. Many thanks. Original : We have a home office at the bottom of the garden. Timber and brick construction with a velux roof window, large front window and low voltage power supply. We've had a bad leak over quite a long period of time and the celling panels (plaster board) now need replacing and the electrics made safe. The walls are 'plastered' in hemp concret but we'd like these to be boarded out or covered in tongue and groove. We'll probably go for a traditional, felted flat roof (it's wood shingles at the moment) as we think the low pitch and the materials used have been part of the problem with the water getting in. the floor is wooden and may also need some repair from the damp.

Carport to be built on side of house, to cover area roughly 11m x 3.4m. Wooden construction would be best, but particularly want to avoid wood rotting in few years so need concrete or metal footings.

Under £2,000
I need to remove most of a wall between two rooms, seal up a door and move a wall between kitchen and hallway, prior to redecoration. I will have architectural plans, but advice from an engineer may be required.

Construction of a 1 storey extension to the rear of the property.
West Chesterton, CB4
Under £4,000
Presently have long car port on side of house, with bedrooms above, which is open both ends, with wrought iron gate on front. We still wish to use it mostly for bikes, etc, but seal off both ends to elements and dirt, so that more sports equipment, coats, shoes, etc can be stored there and remain clean and damp free. Needs large door on front, wall and door on back, door through side wall into hall of house, and possible damp proofing/dry lining, perhaps a radiator.
