Mid-Terrace side return and single story rear extension I would highly recommend Smiley Builders. Baz and his team worked also in a professional manner and completed our extension not only within budget but also a week early. Baz's communication was superb giving me regular updates of the progress and nothing was ever an issue. After the extension was complete any snagging was dealt with straight away without any fuss! We are very happy with all the works and the way the project was managed, being stress free and to a high standard. Again, highly recommended!!
Single storey extension London SE8 Baz and his builders (Mike and a couple of others I didn't catch the names of) were really great, every single one of them. Always very polite and they finished the job to a top standard. I changed my mind about the colour of the facia on the extension and this was changed without any complaint - I also had to live in the property during the works and they always knocked before entering in the morning, which was much appreciated. They finished the job to a very high standard, and answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly. Prices were fair and you get a really high quality finish as well. Job completed two weeks ahead of schedule, allowing me to progress with the remaining works in the kitchen earlier than expected. I had built in a buffer for delays, but to my surprise this didn't need to be utilised with Baz and team - in fact they had to wait for the french doors that I supplied, and this was incorporated and worked around without complaint
Semi detached house /Side Rear Extension / se7 / Carshalton We employed Smiley Building Services to carry out a complete refurbishment of a 2 bedroom house. The Estimated time for the job was 8 weeks and the job was completed on time and on budget. We then used Smiley at another address on a larger project, which was a ground floor extension to the rear, a 1st floor extension to provide an en-suite and a loft extension, plus complete refurbishment. The job was on budget but did over run the estimated time, due mainly to adverse weather conditions (prolonged winter and a very wet spring), which was obviously out of Smiley's control. If in the future we needed to employ a builder, we would use Smiley Building Services again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a builder.
Build single storey extension - full drawings supplied I interviewed many builders for this job, both from Mybuilder and other sources. Baz was the first one who actually listened to what I said, looked at the working drawings I provided and instantly asked intelligent and relevant questions about why certain things were on the plans, and about how I actually wanted things to be. Fundamentally, he was the first builder I talked to who I absolutely and instantly trusted. He gave me a very detailed and fair quote for the job, and was happy to take the time to sit with me and work through it line by line answering any questions I had. The timescale he gave me was quick, and he explained in detail any things that might cause things to run on beyond what he had suggested - in fact, none of those issues arose, and the work was completed exactly to schedule, despite me adding in a few other bits of work that I also wanted to do. Baz and his team were a joy to have around. They were clean, tid
Lambert Road | Richmond | South West London | Home Extension We engaged with Smiley Building Services to build our kitchen extension recently and are really pleased with the results. The price was very competitive and process made very easy. BAZ the Project Manager and build team were excellent, very responsive, on time, hard working and clean. They were great at providing options and advice to challenging design issues and were always happy to change things along the way for no extra charge. The team have also been very responsive with sorting out the snags. We are very happy with the results and would recommend Smiley Building Services
Southfield Gardens | Lewisham | South east London | Home Extension Smiley Building services had an excellent Kitchen extension built for us. Really happy with the results, it has truly transformed our home. Was nervous about having the works carried out while living and working here with a 3 year old in tow but Baz was taken the stress out by built us a temporary kitchen made out of our old kitchen so could cook and live somewhat as normal while the majority of the work was carried out. Very happy with our new much larger and lighter kitchen and living space.
Colyton Road | Dulwich | South London | Home Extension From start to finish Smiley Building Services were fantastic through all stages of our 3m kitchen diner extension. This involved knocking through an existing kitchen diner and adding a 3m extension to the rear. Baz was there all the time regarding the project and the staged payments. All staff were polite, helpful and great to have around. The checking in calls to see how we were going by Baz enabled us to mention anything that we were unsure about. The whole job was superb and came out within budget and on time and the quality of the work is exceptional. We are thrilled to bits with it and it now looks like it’s from a magazine. Heartily recommend.
Woodlands Park Road | Greenwich | South East London | Home Extension I have just completed an extension (and general internal refurbishment project with Smiley Building Services and the end result is so much better than I ever hoped it would be. At the start of the project I was apprehensive – I wasn’t sure how I would juggle work and the demands of a big house project and friends and family were warning me of the chaos and delays and rows with trades that I should certainly expect. It was indeed a messy and busy few months however the building team were all so great – always punctual and tidy (I never had to move out of the flat!) . Baz an excellent project manager who very patiently dealt with my (many many!) questions and worries. Everyone turned up bang on time every morning and the project was finished pretty much when it was expected to. My doubting friends and family were also very impressed! So my first building project was surprisingly painless and I would even consider doing

Woodmansterne Road | Streatham | London | Rear Extension We are really happy with the service that Smiley Building Services has provided and thanks to the team for totally transforming the rear of our property. Baz dealt with problems quickly and efficiently. I must mention one occasion when we discovered that half the walls that needed demolition were solid concrete instead of brick, which meant it couldn’t be knocked down quickly but needed a specialist diamond cutter. Smiley discussed the problem with us, booked the specialist and didn’t ask for any additional money. If we require anymore building work we will certainly use you again and have and will continue to recommend you to our friends
Twilley Street | South Croydon | South London | Kitchen Extension We are very pleased with our new kitchen extension and couldn’t recommend Smiley Building Services enough. Baz was patient with me, explaining everything and making sure I knew what was happening and when. The reliability of the various teams involved, and the attention to detail. The finished work is fantastic and we are very pleased with the whole service delivery. Thanks for all your efforts
Southwood Lane | Bromley | kent | Kitchen Extension Smiley Building Services has done extensive building work for us, over a period of about 5 months.It was a big project involving a lot of structural work and this was completed professionally, diligently and seamlessly. On all levels of the project, the team were well-coordinated, experienced and very hard-working, hence the obvious quality of the finished product. Smiley had access to other services other than the basic building work…..we ultimately used the builders also for side projects, like the wooden flooring, the kitchen, and the outside paving, again all to a high standard and of course, very convenient during the building process. The team were easy to communicate with and gave much practical and experienced advice. Baz were open to discussion about possible changes of plans and to new ideas that arose during the building work. We would highly recommend Smiley Building Services to anyone. They work hard, they have a high st
London Road | upland road | Bromley | Side Return Extension We used Smiley Building Services to undertake extensive works to the ground floor of our property which included the following: (1) A new side return extension; (2)New hardwood flooring installed through out the ground floor of our property; (3) A new kitchen with island, boiler and radiators throughout the entire house; and (4) New paving and retaining wall built in our rear garden. All of the works undertaken were of the highest quality (particular attention to detail) and the new brickwork comprising London stock matched the existing brickwork in terms of finish and colour which I specifically requested. The kitchen is fabulous and everyone that visits us is impressed with the works and the layout. Given the extensive nature of the works, we relied heavily on the advice and supervision of the project manager Baz/Smiley who was not only professional, friendly but also helpful. Most importantly for my wife and I was that he
Kings Road | Eltham | South east London | Home Extension Smiley Building Services made for us a fantastic construction of a large singe storey rear extension, major house renovation and central heating work. Baz provided 110% customer care and after-sales help. They were a single point of contact for my project needs, all the way through planning permission, architect’s designs, construction and final touches. I was kept informed of my project’s progress and requirements all the way through. Really pleased with the final outcome and attention to detail. Referred them to other family and friends also. Thank you Smiley.
Minard Road | Lewisham | London | Kitchen Extension Smiley team was extremely pleasant which just makes the whole process easier, reliable, trustworthy, solution finders! Baz are brilliant at his jobs and took the trouble to attend to details and respond to what we wanted to achieve. The tender process was clear, straightforward and comprehensive. Following that the telephone and e-mail discussion with Baz were extremely helpful and allowed us to explore exactly what we would be getting and how the build would unfold. Baz who I call Smiley has attention to detail and genuine passion and belief in your service inspired confidence and trust
Bennett Park | Chislehurst | South East London | Home Extension Smiley Building Services team were always polite and very helpful at every step of the build. Smiley team have finished work to a high standard, punctual and on budget!. A “big” thank you to Baz who always keen to help and find solutions to any problems. It worked very well when we met every week large scale project, finished on time, and only a week after projected timescales. Thank you Smiley for giving us a fabulous kitchen extension
Grove Park | Camberwell | South East London | Rear Extension From start to finish Smiley Building Services were professional and efficient. Baz and his team were just a phone call away with any problem dealt with quickly. My wife and I are really pleased the extension and enjoying the space created by Smiley Building Services. Thanks for your efforts and we’ve told all our friends about you Smiley.
My Husband and I are delighted with the work Smiley Building Services has carried out on our property.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smiley to our friends and family.

Working with Buzz / Smiley on my project was great. Smiley team has delivered projects with great experience and focus on customer end. They always work towards customer satisfaction, I would definitely recommend them 100%.
Baz was brilliant to work with and we trusted him with our build and have recommended to all our friends and family
I cannot recommend Baz enough! If you want a very skillful and honest builder with great ideas and an eye for detail you will find him in Baz. He will be behind the success of your project. A very good listening ear but also someone that will tell you if your idea is not good as he has so much experience with so many projects! I know he is unusually good at his job and superior to so many others because he was one of 8 different builders I had quote for me some even sent by insurers some found from friend's recommendations. Baz was just so much better than all of them. You won't regret trusting him with your project. He is incredibly experienced, skillful and knowledgeable and surprisingly honest! For a builder this is very rare and exceptional ! I am very happy I used him!
I hired Smiley Building Services for the renovation of my 3 bedroom Victorian house in South London and I am thrilled with the work they have done. The project was large and included structural work, the installation of a brand new kitchen and two bathrooms as well as electrical work, plumbing, some carpentry work, plastering plus general decoration. I searched for a while before I found the right team but I really liked Smiley's 'can-do' attitude and reasonable quote. He and his team worked very hard to get the job done in 4 months and battled some horrible weather conditions. Smiley was always easy to get hold off and although there were a few communications problems to start with these were easily ironed out. I would definitely recommend him and will certainly be using him for all of my future projects. A great find!

Baz and his team were a joy to have around. They were clean, tidy and respectful at every turn, and took time to answer my questions and seek my feedback on anything they were unsure about. I've employed many builders and tradesmen before. I've NEVER worked with someone as good as Baz before. Absolutely 100% trustworthy, 100% conscientious and 100% perfect. It was a pleasure to have him working on our flat, and I'll miss having him around. If you get the opportunity to use him, snap him up!
We chose Smiley Building Services to build our rear and side extension because having met Baz, we were impressed by his ability to explain clearly the processes and stages involved in the project.He is an excellent communicator and was able to solve problems quickly and effectively.We found him to be reliable,trustworthy and knowledgeable.Our project was finished on time and on budget and we would have no hesitation in recommending Smiley Building Services and would choose to use their services again.
I would recommend Baz and his team 100% and hope to use them again. They were professional, reliable, hard working, worked fast, trustworthy, very approachable and friendly - a pleasure to have around. There was superb communications (every step, decision, change was communicated and explained) throughout and Baz is very approachable and very easy to talk to. You can always get hold of Baz direct; he would answer straight away; spent time explaining the process, advised us, got quotes for us and even came shopping with us a few times! Baz had all the time in the world for us and our project. No request was too trivial or small for him. Baz and his team have gone above and beyond what we had expected of builders. Nothing was a problem - changes or extra things on top Baz happily did it. We had a leak that had nothing to do with the extension, Baz sorted it out at no extra cost. The price was fixed and transparent and we were pleasantly surprised that he didn't charge us for the extra materials (eg more coving, more skirting etc) we added after. Our extension was completed within budget and on time and Baz was very keen to sort out any snags (very minor) after and did so straight away with no fuss. We're extremely delighted with our extension and the way the project was managed. It was stress free and done to a standard high. Thanks so much Baz for everything! You have become like family to us and we will miss having you around.

While on site they also cleaned up after themselves every day and even swept my hallway for any soil and dust! Top notch team, who have my full recommendation. I wouldn't hesitate to use again and will forward the company name to any friends or colleagues who need work done. Thanks for all the hard work!
Working with Baz has been a very positive experience and we are delighted with the results he has delivered. Baz delivered a quote very quickly, assisted us in getting references, and showed us a similar job he had worked on. Baz gave us a six month lead time, but in the end was able to start early because a previous job was delayed due to planning. Baz was helpful in agreeing the final terms of the contract, which was based on a fixed price and the team started on the day agreed. Mike, the foreman, was courteous and considerate and the team worked fast. They liaised with building control throughout as necessary. Once the rear wall came down we moved out, but they still kept dust to a minimum and sealed off the upstairs which was very effective. We had a very limited time when we had somewhere else to live to finishing on time was very important. Baz delivered the project absolutely on time and the snagging issues were only minor. The project came in bang on budget, in spite of a more expensive door configuration than we originally planned, and Baz was very transparent on pricing for materials. Baz was a very good communicator throughout the project, keeping us updated in timings, and explaining each stage of the job. It was always easy to get hold of him when we needed to speak. I would not hesitate to recommend Baz. On time, on budget, a good communicator, and a very good build. What else could you ask for? We plan to use him again for our loft.
