Featured Reviews for Builders in Islington, Greater London

Interni Deco
Builders in Islington, Greater London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2018
“Cristian has just finished a 4-day project in my flat and I couldn't praise him enough. I found him on a neighbourhood website and since the initial contact he has been excellent. He communicates very well, listens, remembers details and also thinks 'for you' by observing how one like things organized, this all beside is absolutely perfect carpentry work. He is a man of many talents, giving a project rate but also working per hourly rate which either were good news. I am truly impressed with Cristian's work, his standard of work is outstanding.”

“ASAP have completed several project for us over the last few years on behalf of our own clients. I have found them to be very helpful and professional. The service has always been great and our clients have been very pleased with the quality of the work.”
PEAKE Projects London Ltd
Builders in Islington, Greater London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 June 2017
“Working with James and his team over the years has turned our house in to home that's beautiful and suits or needs precisely. Communication is where James excels - from understanding and cleverly interpreting our brief, next navigating us through the build stage then ultimately delivering a high end finish. This was done near enough on time but miraculously on budget, remarkable.”
Clearly Renovations Ltd
Builders in Islington, Greater London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 June 2017
“I was recommended to Clearly renovations by an AV contractor that I was considering using for the complete rebuild and refurbishment of my apartment. The job was not without it's problems as the flat is a lateral development situated over two clothes shops on a very busy market street that trades 7 days a week ( and obviously had to continue trading throughout,unhindered ) it's also in a conservation area with all the added pressures that ensued. From day one I found Jeremy and his team helpful and conscientious .There were a myriad of problems that manifested over the project but all were handled with professionalism and aplomb. I have been back in the apartment a year now and again the few snagging problems have been sorted out with minimum fuss.I could not recommend this company more highly and would certainly use them again.”
Build Abode
Builders in Islington, Greater London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 February 2019
“The most efficient and friendly staff, highly professional team that can execute your kitchen dreams and desires to an exact specification! The expertise that the team had from the inception with the detailed drawings with great design ideas and 3D visuals created by Sonya, and the level of detail from the installation manager Avtar who was on site during the process and the complete knowledge of every aspect of a kitchen from appliances, accessories, colour schemes and materials and the utilization of space from the directors Ajit and Sukh gave us clear confidence in their work and passion for the job and service provided. They were extremely personable, warm, friendly and charming and a complete joy to have been serviced by. The finished product has been complimented by every guest and is now clearly the highlight of our home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great quality kitchen with fantastic service to go with it! Our family thank you Design Abode for realising our dream kitchen. One happy customer!”

“I have used Chris and his team at R.A.S Construction for several 'full service' projects (covering refurbishment, extending, plumbing, re-wiring etc) - each time the work and service has been exceptional. We received a detailed, competitive quote and the work was completed on-time to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation recommending them or using again.

Why hire an Islington, Greater London home builder to create your dream home?


Often, when buying a property, there are things that are not quite to your taste that you would change, or get rid of.
