MH Costa Construction Ltd

Andre (project manager), Fernando (site manager) and their team were an excellent team to work with for our renovation. They carried out our full house renovation of a listed property over the course of 10 months. This included; reconfigurations of top floor rooms, full plumbing and electrical work, a new extension with flat roof/ terrace above. Their team is completely made up of their own employees each excellent in their own trades, only two sub-contractors were used on the whole project, for the roof and the external facade. Their knowledge and professionalism is second to none, along with being a really friendly group to work alongside. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and in fact have already done so. It should be noted they also managed to complete this project through the uncertain times of the first covid lockdown, with tricky supply issues.

I am an Architect and for over a decade I have returned to MH Costa Construction again and again for work on a range of projects for clients with award winning results including an RIBA Award. Our most recently completed project was the construction of our own house. It was a complex build on a tight urban site and we are very pleased with the result. In my experience Costa are competitive, responsible, and capable.

We selected MH Costa for the full refurbishment of a large detached house, including extensive bespoke joinery and landscaping works. The 36-week project was delivered perfectly on time and budget. Manuel Costa is a very experienced professional providing invaluable advice. His team is highly skilled with an attention to details second to none. Friendly and very supportive even after completion of the project. Strongly recommended.

Proud to see MH Costa is using our high quality products in their projects. We love their organized working approach and the way they create unique designs.

M H Costa have altered and extended our house in a programme of work over several phases. The quality of their work, their attention to detail and the energy and courtesy of their team are all outstanding, and they worked in close harmony with our architect. Andre Sousa and foreman Antonio led the project very effectively and provided excellent communication with the architect and us as clients throughout. Highly recommended!

MH Costa completed a total renovation and new services of a Grade II Georgian house, which was converted into administrative office. Their attention to detail is outstanding and we were kept informed through the process and program. Works were completed both within the budget and on agreed time-scale. All members of the team were friendly, helpful and very hardworking. We’re very impressed with the finished result. We would definitely highly recommend them.

I appointed MHCosta after they had been recommended to me by my architect who had heard about them and had visited previous projects. Their company works in a highly professional manner. My refurbishment project was a demanding project with luxurious materials and much detail especially with regards to carpentry. All the people involved in my project knew the work well and were familiar with the complexities involved; they were able to work without creating problems to the common area and other property owners in the building and without making mistakes that would result in delays and extra costs for me; they were able to anticipate problems and solve them in advance. Their work was at all times tidy. They had good planning, were not delayed in their scheduled timetable , were always willing to do their outmost to make things work and their final job is of a very high standard. Working relations with my team of professionals and myself had been excellent and time went by smoothly. I can also say that the company seems to have a very good working environment with happy relationships amongst their workers which is a big plus on the work place. Their very good knowledge of the plans made a difference for me as they could easily read and understand what was expected at any time and did not miss out on every little detail. Very polite people. I definitely recommend this company.

The best ever. Fabulous friendly and precision work. The 2 bedroom flat needed total re-doing for a disabled owner. The entire workforce was friendly, respectful and super tidy and clean. Their patience was remarkable. Toilets needed raising to meet specs. This was done cheerfully, even though some additional tiles had to be ordered. We would recommend this fabulous company to all people who like great workmanship.

The most organised office I have ever worked with. They are very knowledgable, accurate with their prices and have a very good quality.

Manuel Costa was our contractor for the renovation of our house in Chelsea. The job mainly entailed: a complete renovation of the plumbing and the electric system, installing new bathrooms and a new kitchen, building a new shower room from scratch, fitting wood flooring and isolation throughout the house and building bespoke wardrobes in every room as well as bathroom cabinets. We highly recommend Manuel Costa's company. The level of ingenerring is outstanding (for example, the hot water works perfectly and instantly, a rare feature in London!), the bespoke joinery is very high quality and exactly what we wanted, the kitchen is beautifully fitted (even the kitchen provider told us he had rarely seen such a good fitting job) and everyone working in the project was a pleasure to be around! Manuel himself was very helpful, always available when we needed him and providing great advice and solutions. The job was delivered on time and on budget.

Full redecoration work for a Victorian house. Manuel Costa – Owner of MH Costa - supervised the quote and work himself. It has been a unique experience as Manuel is very professional with a strong expertise, we did not need an interior designer. He has been instrumental on the project from managing the drawings, the work schedule, the choice of materials ( very much attached to the details and the best value for the money option), the management of the team and the delivery timeline. The overall experience with MH Costa company has been a success : no real delays, accurate quotes for the original workload and the additional works, strong expertise, professionalism, best advice, and quality of the work.

The grade II listed house we bought was grossly neglected over 50 years. As a result, it needed a complete refurbishment from roof to basement, external to internal. The experience we had with MH Costa Construction was unparalleled. From management to individual workman, without exception were all professional, respectful, diligent and detail oriented. The company's electricians, carpenters, plumbers and tilers delivered high quality work and finish. Our project manager at the end didn't even need to close the account because the company was so honest with their work. We were truly lucky.

We selected MH Costa based on a recommendation from a friend and couldn't be happier with our decision. My wife and I planned a ground floor extension and refurbishment. Neither of us having done anything like this before we leant heavily on the expertise of the team from MH Costa. They were everything we could have hoped for - the team on site were professional and made life with our neighbours easy throughout the construction as they were always tidy and courteous, (even helping one neighbour with an odd job they needed completing for free). Anton our project manager understood our requirements and provided great ideas on how to realise them within our budget - nothing was too much trouble. Manuel, (the boss) was involved throughout, even though we were one of their smaller projects. His vast experience of period properties was extremely valuable and many of our initial thoughts were improved on through his suggestions. A great example of this was the inclusion of reclaimed york stone in the kitchen (probably our favourite element of all). Great team. Overall, highly recommended.

Manuel has excellent general building knowledge established over more than 25 years. His team recently refurbished my 5-storey home in central London (O Yard). He has a strong team including plumbers, electricians, carpenters and decorators all of whom have very good attention to detail. The project was particularly challenging because of the lack of outside space; all the rubbish was bagged and removed from site with no fuss or inconvenience to the neighbours. Manuel is very easy to work with; flexible, straight-forward and has plenty of ideas to contribute to a successful project. Highly recommended.

Manuel and his team are very professional. I have built a one room extension and refurbished my entire flat within 14 weeks changing the layout entirely. We have created a much bigger one bedroom flat with much better living areas and hidden storage solutions with a very contemporary look. The project ran on time and my neighbours commented how courteous and tidy the builders were on a day to day basis. The result is outstanding quality and a very contemporary flat that I am very happy with. I would recommend MH Costa for building works for any scale of project.

We have used MH Costa three times in the past four years and would happily do so again. We had hired two other highly regarded Conservation Builders on a large complex renovation before and neither were able to complete the project to the standard required. MH Costas electricians and plumbers sorted out all the issues and completed the renovation which required multiple specialist trades. Workmen are very respectful, tidy and their attention to detail is excellent.

Extremely professional company with expert tradesmen who are committed to carrying out work of the highest quality. Great attention to detail and excellent work ethic.

We used M H Costa for a total refurbishment of the N Road house. The level of craftsmanship they provided allowed the architect to bring the house back to it's period routes using good design executed beautifully by the Costa team. The team were impeccable effective with their time, they worked cleanly and left no margin for error. They stayed on track and were (give or take 3%) within the initial price for the tendered job. I found them a real pleasure to deal with and we could not be happier to live in what is now our beautiful home. I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending them to anyone committed to doing a project well.
