Builders in Swanley, Kent

“I bought an old three bed Victorian terraced house that needed a complete renovation. Due to the scale and cost of the project I am having to do it in stages. Lubo is one of the most courteous, considerate and inspirational (and humorous) builders that I have had the pleasure of working with. Lubo and his team installed an entire new kitchen to my specifications as well as a new bathroom and wooden floors throughout. I also had a new heating system installed and a complete house rewire. However, I made the rather fatal mistake of sourcing local contractors (Kent) for some aspects of the project – this was a disaster and has ended up costing me a lot more money than if I had Lubo and IDL Contractors project manage and deliver the whole of phase one. There were so many things that due to other people’s incompetence left me unhappy or tearing my hair out. Lubo always managed to pull something out of the bag and found a solution to all of these little issues. Nothing was too much trouble for him or his team. Lubo kept me fully appraised of costs with detailed breakdowns throughout the project and always knew when to consult with me on something, or whether to just do something, knowing that I would be delighted with the outcome. This is categorically one of Lubo’s biggest strengths along with his attention to detail to the point of having an entire water pipe moved and relocated so that my washing machine fitted exactly as I wanted it. I can’t praise Lubo highly enough and recommend him and IDL Contractors 100%. As money permits IDL will be back to finish the renovations. I have not provided photos with this review because the house is a bomb site at the moment due to having tried to do some things myself, unsuccessfully! I will add once cleaned up as the kitchen is an absolute triumph, thanks to Lubo, and better than I imagined it! It was an absolute pleasure having Lubo and IDL work with me on this project!”

“From start to finish, our experience with homeconcepts was outstanding. Danny, Lucas, Paul, Ash—along with every member of the team—brought energy, insight, and professionalism to our project, which included a full loft conversion, rear and side extensions, Air Conditioning/ Heat Pump and comprehensive renovation throughout the property. They truly took the time to understand our vision, offered imaginative yet grounded design solutions, and communicated clearly every step of the way. Being able to visualise multiple options early in the design process helped us make informed decisions, and their oversight of the builder tender ensured quality and transparency at every stage. When challenges inevitably came up, the team was responsive and solution-focused, helping us navigate issues swiftly and confidently. Their dedication and care made the entire journey far less stressful than we’d anticipated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend homeconcepts to anyone considering a home transformation. Their thoughtful approach and collaborative mindset made all the difference”

“Design Abode refurbished our 1 bed flat for us and we are so pleased with our choice of builder. Their initial quotes were extremely competitive, customer service and communications were always excellent throughout the project. Any issues from simple hiccups to complex process were resolved quickly and efficiently. During the lockdown the team were very considerate of the neighbours especially those working from home. The whole team worked extremely hard and were very organised, we were astounded at the progress which was well ahead of schedule without any compromise on the first-class workmanship. They have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and we have no hesitation in recommending Design Abode.”
