A dramatic addition to this home in the form of a single storey rear extension which has provided the family with an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. From the removal of the conservatory, through the brickwork and carpentry and to the final kitchen installation, Grant Builders completed the job from start to finish and we are really pleased with the results!

With the birth of their fourth son, this lovely family desperately needed some extra space. By converting their loft, we were able to create a large Master bedroom and en-suite bathroom. On this occasion, the works were completed under permitted planning and therefore no permissions were required. Our carpenter created a made to measure wardrobe and the Velux skylights, spotlights and LED lighting worked well to transform the area into a light and airy space.

It’s amazing how an underused garage can be transformed into an exciting new kitchen space. By knocking through from the garage to the kitchen, the whole room is now one large room, which is great for socialising and suited this couple’s lifestyle. We also completed various other building works through out the house including plastering and redecorating in their hall way and front room, building a boundary wall around their property and installing an automated gate.
I used Grant Builders for a Garage Conversion and Bathroom. I was quoted that it would take four weeks to complete and it did to the day. I couldn't be more happy with the final result.
The workmen arrived at my house at the same time every morning without fail and cleaned up at the end of the day when they left The standard of work that they have produced is excellent. I cannot recommend them enough for their professionalism and motivation to provide quality work.
For a single mum of a daughter we felt utterly safe at all times. I felt that the team listened and completely understood what I needed and ensured that they provided this within the build.
Another important aspect for me was being able to have contact with Claire and Faye at the office to ask questions. They were always polite and professional and no question went unanswered, usually within the hour.
I would without question use Grant Builders again.

Grant Builders completed a two story rear extension and complete internal refurbishment in 2020.
The team took time to listen to our requirements and were readily available to discuss matters and concerns throughout the build.
On the whole, pricing for the work and materials was clear. Where additional work needed to be undertaken that was unforeseen, Grant raised this quickly and worked with us to find cost effective solutions within our budget.
Yes, issues cropped up and it is important to keep a close eye on the work. Importantly, where issues cropped up, Grant Builders aimed to resolve these and not dismiss or take short cuts.
Generally, the standard of any sub contractors used by Grant Builders was of a high standard. Importantly, Grant Builders took full responsibility and made sure any issues relating to work completed by them were resolved quickly and efficiently.
Overall, we are very happy with the quality of the building work completed and the service provided.

Leon and his team carried out the construction of a rear and side extension on our house. Their work was very good, and the finish excellent, we were very happy with the results. All the team were polite, courteous and hard working. Leon's knowledge, experience and contact helped ease neighbours worries, made dealing with building control personnel easy and he coordinated different trades to make sure everything was completed on time. If you are looking for a construction company I would highly recommend Grant Builders.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Grant Builders for complete building and construction services work.
They carried out our major ground floor kitchen replanning and rear extension with side utility room and cloakroom.
The team are very professional in their approach and attitude to the project.
More importantly it was finished to budget and on time.
From our architectual drawings They took on the project management role from start to finish.
Would definitely use their services again.

I was impressed by the professionalism of Grant Builders from the first day. They checked with me all the time that I was happy with what had been achieved. Claire in the office was quite exceptional in the way she sourced exactly what I wanted. I was kept informed about any possible future costs. The result is a beautiful home tailored to my needs. I would be happy to recommend Grant Builders no matter what the project because they are adaptable and willing to learn.

Grant builders converted an external garage into a habitable space for us. (3 external rooms). I am really please with the process from begining to end. Team were professional, friendly, honest and reliable. They carried out the work with minimal disruption. They checked in every day to make sure we were happy and willingly made changes / alterations along the way. The conversion is absolutely beautiful, top workmanship and I am really please with it. I'm so pleased I found Grant builders to do this work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

We had a single storey extension with pitch roof, vaulted ceiling and external and internal bifold doors.
All the work was to a very high standard, met all planned completion dates, dealt with issues and minor changes quickly and to our satisfaction. Leon, Katherine and all their builders were absolutely brilliant.
Would definitely recommend Grant Builders.

This is the second time we’ve used Grant Builders and would highly recommend them to all. We undertook a huge build/renovation whilst living on site but the whole team made this so much easier than expected! Everybody was so supportive and helpful with all decisions and issues that arose along the way, when we came down with covid as a family the office manager even brought us dinner!
If we ever move and do another build we would use Grant Builders again without hesitation. Thank you to all.

We'd have no hesitation in recommending Grant Builders. Our home needed some serious renovation. We decided upon a side extension and loft extension, rewiring and central heating. The whole house was affected. They communicated effectively and we collaborated well throughout the build, enabling us to live in the house pretty much the whole time work went on around us. The office back-up was amazing and when difficulties arose - hard to get materials - Grant's always had a plan. We had a core team that came every day. Always on time. Polite and considerate. And when extra trades were needed Grants managed them well. Crucially they delivered on time and to budget. We're thrilled. Naturally there have been snags once the build finished and they've followed up every tiny thing. We cannot fault them.

Grant Builders are fantastic to work with. We had a garage converted into a kitchen family room , We also have plans to go above the new kitchen. Which we will definitely have Grant Builders back to do. The whole team are tidy. The are very polite any questions we had were always answered. They cleaned up after themselves . Every friday before the weekend everything was clean so we could use our driveway. We would recommend them always.
