After finally getting our first property, me and my husband embarked on modernising and renovating our new home. We also wanted to add an extension, but wasn't sure if we had sufficient budget to get it all done.
We feel so lucky that we found Black Oak Builders. The level of service they provide is truly amazing. They took care of the design and all the paperwork for us and there was a lot of it! Costing was clear and broken down by sections with easy to follow payment plan.
The build was challenging and we had some set backs after discovering collapsed drainage and rotten floor joist. Lucky for us Black Oak took care of everything and I'm so glad we listened to them when they advised us to have a contingency!
They helped us choose finishing materials and sourced them for us too! They build a bespoke kitchen that I have always dreamt of with stone worktops and a pantry. Their team is very tidy and work surprisingly hard. We couldn't believe the progress they were making week by week and the site was always clean and organised.
What we really loved about them is the level of detail and how much pride they take in their work. The communication was on another level! Emails were well structured and clear to read and action and they didn't complain even a bit about our constant calls and wanting to discuss and change things. Incredibly accommodating. We couldn't recommend them highly enough and have already discussed a future project with them - our loft conversion!

We hired Black Oak to carry out an internal reconfiguration of our existing 2 bed 1 bath property and to build a timber-framed extension. These works were with a view to turning our flat into 3 bed 2 bath accommodation. However, Black Oak did not complete the build project. They walked out in month 5 of a what was supposed to be a 4-month project, leaving approximately 55%-60% of the work undone.
We found Black Oak’s approach to the build to be inconsistent, unprofessional and lacking in transparency. 10 months down the line and we are significantly out of pocket. We have had to appoint new contractors at additional expense to not only complete the works but also to rectify aspects that Black Oak had built incorrectly.
Needless to say, we were extremely disappointed with the service.

I am writing to provide my feedback on the work of Dom and the guys at Black Oak Builders. If you do not want to read the whole review, you can move on after reading the key question – would I use Black Oak Builders again? Answer – yes, we have already discussed the next project.
We engaged Dom via an introduction and found his communication to be thorough, polite and informative. After agreeing the spec and price, the guys set to work. We did experience a delay during our project, partly our fault due to delayed deliveries and partly theirs, due to short staffing. However, now that the project is complete, I can reflect and say that we are happy with the work delivered and in particular the attention to detail in the finish.
We had a single storey extension built, in a tight space, involving drainage work and other foundations in close proximity. Dom’s team worked carefully and diligently to deal with the risks and issues.
The main tradesmen on our job were Robert and Maciek, who spoke limited English but with frequent communication via Dom, we were kept up to date with progress and consulted throughout on finishes, positions and other key matters. At no time did we feel that the guys did something that in any way cut a corner or left a result that we were not happy with. When tricky situations presented themselves, Dom explained the options and the positives and negatives, allowing us to make informed decisions.
The site was left clean after each day. The tradesmen were skilled, polite, respectfull and worked hard, always with access to the right tools and materials for each element of the job.
The finishing stage of our job included installing an Oak worktop to a new utility space, which involved Dom joining 2 pieces of worktop together in an offsite workshop, to ensure the final fit was seamless. The tiling to finish the splashback was excellent, including mitred joins on the tiles to avoid the need for use of tile trim around the corners.
Dom remained in contact after the job was finished, ensuring the appropriate certification was provided from Building control.
All in all, we are delighted with the delivered project and look forward to working with Dom and his team in the future.

I was recommended Black Oak Builders and couldn’t be happier with the result. From first designs through to installation and aftercare, Black Oak Builder’s attention to detail and passion for getting things right was impressive. Dom - the founder of Black Oak Builders - listened carefully to what I wanted and offered his own expertise, coming up with a number of very exciting designs for my small kitchen and bathroom. The result is a home that I love living in!

The project:
I appointed Black Oak Builders (BoB) in July-2018 for a full refurbishment project of a 100sqm first floor Victorian conversion apartment in south west London. This followed many quotes from other builders.
The work included everything from new kitchen installation; 2 large structural openings to lounge/kitchen and to rear balcony; 2 new bathrooms as wet rooms; new windows and sliding doors; soundproofing; full replastering; new flooring, rewiring and plumbing throughout; new doors, frames and architraves, balcony re-fit and full redecoration (and much more!)
Dominik provided a detailed response to my schedule of works, costing per item in a clear and transparent way, further supported by a clear payment schedule specific to my project and milestones.
A few areas of experience during the project:
Communication:
This was a key decision factor for me and I’m pleased to say BoB have this nailed on - Dominik adopts a multi channel approach to keep you informed - this took the form of (1) Dropbox photo updates (usually daily, activity progress dependent); (2) calls to discuss decisions needed /progress and (3) written updates at larger milestone stages. It worked very well and helped me stay informed but also involved.
The Team:
Truly great all round - dedicated and respectful, wanting to work longer days to gets things done - the work ethic shown by all was amazing.
I also don’t think I’ve seen a work site so clean including all communal areas. My neighbours below and above my property kept managed/informed - not easy given the level of work - neighbours were happy and impressed.
Thank you: Monkey/Hurricane/Raspberry/Szatan
Costs/budget:
On track with no material overruns with exception of my a few unexpected items and my design additions (!!!) which Dominik quoted for at the time and were fully scoped ahead of starting to ensure both parties were clear upfront.
Timings:
We had an ambitious timescale and naturally I hit a few supplier issues and unexpected problems along the way which delayed the project by a few weeks. This was no reflection on BoB, the experience was great as they sought to help/support with solutions where appropriate. And when we had things to re-do, they got on with it rather than waiting for the snagging list.
Overall project was big and very demanding but BoB did a fantastic job, the space is amazing, unrecognisable and finished to such a high standard.
So to summarise - why choose Black Oak Builders:
- Quality of work is very high/exceptional
- Excellent service throughout and end-to-end experience
- They care about the result, the home you are creating
- Extremely reliable
- Clear communication
I would absolutely recommend Black Oak Builders - 5 stars.

Having been relocated to Amsterdam at short notice Dominik and The Black Oak team undertook a full bathroom renovation for us in order to prepare the house to be rented.
From the initial communication, through to design and planning, quotation, ordering of materials and fixtures and then completing the agreed works, the Black Oak team were truly exceptional.
Our house only took one weekend to rent at it's full asking price with everyone who came to view commenting on the exceptional bathroom and under floor heating. No doubt that room was the star of the show.
Due to the quality and professionalism of the work the team then took on a number of other jobs and repairs in the house such as changing a Saniflo toilet in a wet room to a fully plumbed in toilet (a job three other tradesman had not found a solution for!), pipe insulation when our boiler shutdown during the cold weather and even removing and disposing of old white goods as a favour when I asked!
Dominik went above and beyond across the entire project and we could not be happier with the results. We have recommended Black Oak to a number of friends and also used his team again for a rented flat we own and different area of expertise (see separate review).
We would not hesitate to recommend Black Oak and in fact would not use anyone else's services again now that we have found them!

I hired Black Oak Builders to make a bathroom from scratch. The work included everything from designing to fitting, plastering to decorating, plumbing and putting radiators. Black Oak gave me a detailed breakdown of costs and a schedule for each stage of the work in advance. The company has a reassuring pricing structure, in which a percentage of the total cost is held back until the job is finished. I must say, the job from start to finish was exemplary and team worked like ants. And, it was astonishing to see how well they work together without much noise. They started very early in the morning, were punctual and finished late in the evening to get the job finished in the time-scale agreed. Actually, their organisational skills enabled them to finish the job a couple to days sooner than anticiapated. Besides the job itself, Dominik, the contractor, was open to share his knowledge and give ideas along the way. He visited the site regularly and ensured his team worked diligently. He kept in touch regularly to provide an update of the progress. And, it was just progress along the way, no hang-ups! Dom even helped to shop the units sensibly trying to save money where possible. If I can sum-up in one word, truly, GOD-SENT. Wishing them good luck with their future projects.
