Featured Reviews for Builders in Wickford, Essex

Fox Conversions
Builders in Wickford, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2023
“Chris and his team provided some refurbishment works at my property in Leyton. His team was professional, courteous and efficient whilst having great communication with Chris during the duration of the project. They ensured cleaning/tidying was done on a daily basis which was great as we where still living in the property. The work was carried out to high standard and I was kept up to date at each stage of the project with detailed invoices and explanations of costs so there where no surprises. I would highly recommend Fox Conversions”

“Zoli Design House is an exceptional architectural and engineering firm I highly recommend. The team's attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to their craft are truly impressive. From the initial consultation to the final stages of the project, they consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the design was meticulously crafted. Throughout the process, the team remained professional and attentive, taking the time to listen to my needs and vision for the project. Their expertise in both architecture and engineering ensured that the final product was not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound. The entire team at Zoli Design House is a pleasure to work with. They are not only incredibly skilled but also personable and approachable. They always made themselves available to answer any questions or concerns that I had and kept me informed at every stage of the process. Overall, I am delighted with the work that Zoli Design House did for me, and I would not hesitate to use their services again.”

“Professional service with very good understanding of building regulations. Advised me on every aspect of the job which made me feel very confident that I was in the right hands.

RNM building services Ltd
Builders in Wickford, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 April 2023
“They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled. RNM has done a wonderful job each time they have done work on our home. Their employees are always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner.”
Fineva Construction ltd
Builders in Wickford, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 February 2024
“Fineva Construction came as a personal recommendation, and they did not disappoint. They built a kitchen extension and side return on our Victorian home in Beckenham. At the outset, they helped make all those tricky decisions I had no experience of, and looking back, we made all the right choices. All work was carried out within the 12 week schedule that was initially agreed and to the highest standards. As with any building work, there were small unforeseen issues that arose. But Pete Cook and his guys always had a solution ready and never tried to increase the cost because of them. The plans we had were always flexible, meaning that when our ideas evolved, they were always happy to incorporate them. They made useful suggestions on how to make improvements that we wouldn’t have thought of, such as adding soundproofing between the floors when the opportunity arose. The guys on site were all a pleasure to have around; courteous, polite and hard-working. As someone who works in the building industry, I was very impressed at every aspect of their work, and they are the top recommendation I have in my book of contacts!”
Salmon Building
Builders in Wickford, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 October 2023
“Toby and team completed my full house renovation and I couldn't recommend them more highly. From the first conversation Toby went out of his way to be helpful, going the extra mile time and time again, and communicating very clearly at every step. It was so reassuring knowing that I could trust Toby to keep me updated and advise me honestly about what was needed. He helped along the way to identify the best, most cost-effective solutions and nothing was too much work. The work was completed to schedule, budget and a brilliant standard. I'm SO glad I went with Toby, Sean and team. The best decision I made.”
Future Shapes London
Builders in Wickford, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 April 2018
“I would whole heartedly recommended Peter and his company for any building work you were considering; we would definitely use him again. We are the owners of Francis Road shown on Future Shapes London`s site on Houzz. As you can see it was a full house renovation: rebuilding everything from the roof to front path. Where Future Shapes London really stood out was in there professional and personal service: we met with Peter on a weekly basis and he was always prompt in replying to e-mails and calls. Peter provided great advice that saved us money without ever compromising on quality workmanship and safety. The company delivered on timescales and always used their time effectively: we viewed the work on a weekly basis and were always impressed by how well the work was project managed and also how they respected the house despite the amount of work which was being carried out. Again, we would highly recommended Future Shapes London. .”

Why hire a Wickford, Essex 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. Even if you have the money and skilled workers, it is difficult to create something that is exactly as you’d like given that you are building on something that already exists. It could be that the layout of your property is just not how you would have chosen it to be had you been starting from scratch. For some people, having the perfect home is very important and the only way to achieve this is to build from the ground up with the help of a Wickford, Essex home builder.
