Gigney Building Contractors

In my experience there are two types of builder, the one that will always moan about how bad the previous builder (or work) was, stick rigidly to the mandate (otherwise charge extra) and leave the site looking like a rubbish tip once finished, occasionally worse! Then there is the type that simply gets on with the work, points out those little extras (that you'd omitted to mention) after they've done them and leaves the site, tidier and cleaner than it was when they arrived. For me, Gigney falls very much in the latter category. I've used him for several jobs across two properties I own and even though he has relocated to Liverpool, as he has a team in London, I still use him to this day. Best of all, he consisently does a good job, goes above and beyond when/if there is a problem and I've always found him and his team to be polite, courteous and diligent. I'd recommned Lee and his team without hesitiaton - they are my go to builder no matter how big or small the job! 5 stars. (Pics attached - New kitchen + granite works (2021); external cladding (2022) and external decorations (2023)

Lee & his team fitted new carpets throughout my 2 bedroom apartment, they also installed tiled flooring to the bathroom and kitchen. A full re-decoration was completed to the open plan living room/kitchen, x2 bedrooms & hallway. I was very impressed with the lack of disruption caused to my routine, as the workers left each day with the apartment clean and tidy - which was much appreciated. The job was completed within the time scale Lee quoted and within budget which was also much appreciated! I found the employees of Gigneys to be very professional, polite and always arrived on time. Will definately be using them for any future home improvements.

Gigney Building Contractors have just completed installing a new engineered flooring throughout the downstairs of our bungalow located in Liverpool. They have also fully re-decorated all our rooms using Farrow & Ball paint colours of our choice. The Howdens kitchen they installed was bespoke to our requirements and we are so impressed with the final outcome, we couldn’t have anticipated how perfect the final finish is. Lee in particular we found to be very involved from the start, and made a number of visits to our home to finalise flooring, kitchen and paint choices before ordering all the materials on our behalf and arranging delivery and set up. As anyone completing a large renovation will understand, it can be quite stressful - however we where pleasantly surprised at how smoothly the process was. Danielle in the office kept us updated and communicated with us from start to finish. Would highly recommend Gigneys 5* service.

Lee & his team have recently competed a full house renovation on my 3 bed property. I found the whole team to be friendly, hard working & approachable throughout the 8 week project. Lee set up a stage payment plan which worked well throughout the renovation. I can’t recommend Gigneys enough. I’m so happy I chose to trust my home in their hands. Lee and Danielle are incredibly professional, their communication skills are spot on. They offer out of hours communication and nothing is ever too much. I would highly recommend them to all my family & friends. Would deficately use them on my future projects.

Hired Lee to do a job for me and had a quote he wanted 50% upfront and the rest on completion. Paid the deposit and was going to start the 1st of November. Phoned on the start date to say he was poorly would start Monday 6th November from then to the 17th of November turned up on 3 days altogether but I waited in all that time as he said he was coming. I would phone on the morning and something had turned up but he would promise to be here the next day. Finally on the 20th he turned up with 2 workers and to be fair they worked hard Lee went off didn't turn up till they had finished for the day. Then Lee wanted to speak to me not forgetting not much of the work was actually achieved. He wanted the other 50% paying as he said were on to the second phase, I told him no as they hadn't even done half. He then told me if I didn't pay something they would walk off the job as he had no money to complete the job. I had to give him more money but didn't give him the full amount. He now asked if he could do the replacement units in the utility room and asked for a deposit of £3,500 which I paid ( remember this payment was for the units). So they were now getting on with the job and I asked about the units and when will they come I was told a few reasons why they wasn't here. Now we go to the final day the window sills wasn't done or the skirting board. Wedgie who was sound was giving me gloves and other things so I knew he wasn't coming back even though the job wasn't finished. I had an email from Lee's wife Danielle asking for £2,800 to purchase the cabinets ( you know the ones I had already paid £3,500 for) and to pay a total bill £600 over what was agreed for wages. I took off the cost of the units and the £600 also £200 because they wasn't coming back and I had to get the window fitters back to do the sills. To be honest in the end I was just glad to get rid and I have since found a company I trust to finish the job it was a nightmare. Oh and they asked me if I was pleased with the work.

If you hire Gigney Building Contractors and have the pleasure of working with Lee and Danielle Gigney, you will not regret your decision. Out of the gate, the journey of a total home renovation with Lee and his amazing team of talented craftsmen has been exceptional. Each member of his onsite team brought professionalism, collaboration, and innovation to the project. Danielle and the office team are true professionals and exceptionally talented communicators – they provided a foundation to the project that made all administrative tasks stress-free, efficient, and timely. Their patience and kindness were a true asset to the project. I have renovated many homes, and Lee’s team of craftsmen is amongst the most talented and considerate I have ever worked with. As a result of Lee's leadership, my home renovation was completed on time and within budget - I could not be happier with my experience of working with Gigney Building Contractors. Lee is a true problem solver with a keen eye for detail - he delivers solutions with a sense of ease and calm. His energy is infectious, his work ethic is outstanding and working with him was truly a joy. Through Lee’s vision and commitment, my house has been transformed into a lovely and comfortable home.

Not only did Lee Gigney and his team do a brilliant job of the refurbishment after water damage, but negotiated with the loss adjuster to get us a better settlement. Really happy with the results. Highly recommend them.

Amazing work!!! Lee and his team took on a really difficult job and we couldn't be happier! We originally had another builder in who made a complete mess of my nans kitchen and left the job without finishing it. Lees team came in to fix everything and worked miracles! We now have a lovely kitchen, nothing was too much trouble and he kept us up to date throughout the process, making sure it was finished for Christmas. Lee and his team are friendly and hard working and know their stuff! I would highly recommend him for any job.

We have instructed Lee & his team at Gigney Building Contractors Ltd to carry out various works at our London, Leeds & Liverpool branches. The works have consisted of new kitchen installations, new bespoke breakfast bars, new bespoke shop counter construction, new carpets fitted, internal re-decoration & electrical works. Due to us being a very busy company, the majority of these works had to be completed out of hours, as a Director at The Hobs Group I can highly recommend the Gigney team to be trustworthy, provide high quality workmanship and to leave all areas clean and tidy on completion of works. All the Gigney team have always shown great professionalism and been well mannered & polite. The Hobs Group would not hesitate in recommending Lee & his team to complete any commercial or residential works and we can confirm they will always offer a 5* service.

As the owner of a high profile nursery school located in Kensington, London, my business was severely affected by flooding. Lee came to assess the damage straight away, the Gigney team provided a high standard approach whilst offering the personal touches and greatly helped in taking the burden off me. Lee, George & their team worked alongside me and listened to my requirements, communication was always excellent. The end result was fantastic with a beautiful overall finish. I can’t thank Lee, George and their team enough and would highly recommend Gigney Building Contractors Ltd. The whole team have the ability to work under pressure whilst remaining calm & re-assuring. Without Lee, George & their team my nursery would not have re-opened and I could potentially have lost my business.

My elderly mother’s kitchen needed updating to help with her visual impairment. Lee understood what was required and produced an excellent kitchen that fully meets her needs. The floor has been levelled, the electrics completely upgraded with improved lighting. New flooring, cupboards, doors and decorating. All of Lee’s workers were pleasant, efficient and tidy, while Lee oversaw the work personally, even to organising the flooring we wanted from over 60 miles away. The work was completed to the timescale and budget agreed. Mum is very pleased with her new kitchen and we have asked Lee to quote for two further jobs.

Excellent job done, Love my nee kitchen, very reliable and friendly.. attention to detail was very good and would definitely recommend.
