PMB Construction (UK) Ltd

We could not have wished for a better team to complete our ground floor & loft extension and internal refurbishment. Colin and Olga's attention to detail, their patience (which we tested often!) and impartial advice were invaluable on our 12 month long project. Despite hearing many stories of people's nightmare experiences with builders, we feel very fortunate to have found PMB Construction proving that there are honest contractors out there who employ hardworking tradesmen that take pride in their work. Colin has very high expectation's of his team (often higher than ours!) and is frequently hands-on. Olga's support throughout the project was excellent helping our project to remain on track and ensured effective communication between everyone involved. A large project like this is stressful by any stretch of the imagination but we found working with Colin and Olga incredibly reassuring. Echoing earlier reviews here, we would not hesitate to recommend PMB construction to anyone and have already had interest from friends and colleagues.

Colin and Olga’s team are amazing to have. Them and their team built my loft. Fast pace, hard working and a pleasure to bounce ideas around with. Left with a stunning loft with a fantastic finish.

Colin and Olga along with their men make a great team. I can highly recommend their work. They are responsible, polite and always listen to client’s requests and questions. They have extensive knowledge of how things work and can offer solutions to difficult unforeseen problems.

I would like to give the highest praise to this Company! Colin and Olga and the team were northing short of professional with a wealth of experience. It was like having a builder/project manager and part designer in one! Nothing was too much to ask and they ALWAYS delivered to the highest standard. We even completed our project a month early. The team were extremely skilled and lovely to be around. Colin and Olga have perfected the dream team to deliver your dream house! We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend PMB Construction, and continue to recommend them to friends. Thank you again for making our dream come true!

Colin and Olga did a fantastic job of renovating our 5 bedroomed Edwardian home. This included a new roof, loft extension, some layout changes, new plumbing and electrics throughout, boiler, bathrooms, tiling, restoring period features and laying patio tiles. The work was finished to a very high standard, and the attention to detail was impressive. The project completed on time and on budget. Colin and Olga worked very well as a team, they were really dedicated to the project and to meeting our expectations. Having Olga on hand to take care of the logistics of the project was especially helpful.

Colin & Olga and the whole team at PMB were absolutely amazing from start to finish! They made what is typically a stressful process so smooth and were a total joy to work with. We highly recommend them and miss seeing them!!

Job: 15 month project in North London, ~4000 sqft renovation which was close to an almost complete new build, involving rear / side extensions, loft conversion, new roof, internal gutting and redoing (wiring, plumbing, new internal walls, new stairs, decorating), garden works (planters, turfing, play area installation), front patio and various other things Overall view: Would wholeheartedly recommend Colin and Olga in the highest possible regard. Pleasure working with them, and would do so again in a heartbeat. Specifics: There were countless things which we really valued, but a few aspects in particular stand out which I’ve noted below. Encapsulating all these points is trust. We placed a tremendous amount of trust in Colin and Olga given the large sums involved and the asymmetric information aspect of a build (particular with us having little build experience), and we were pleased that we never had reason to question this trust and if anything it grew stronger as time passed and we saw increasing evidence of how they operated. - High standards: they really take pride in their work, always putting workmanship and quality of results first (often at their own expense; particular examples include decorating methods, wiring methods, where they had some discretion), almost nearing perfectionism. At no points were any evidential short cuts taken, in fact often the longer harder but ultimately higher quality route was chosen. - Thoughtful: on many occasions they brought items to our attention which we hadn’t thought of or noticed (and even other trade professionals hadn’t thought of), and inevitably would have resulted in more hassle for them with no economic benefit (if anything would cost them more). This was invaluable to us as lay folks highly reliant on them in this regard. Colin was often on site and had a very good command of every aspect of work being undertaken by his team and any sub-contractors (and even 3rd parties we’d employed directly ourself). Even on unexpected, less precedented and complex build problems, Colin / Olga always came up with creative and thoughtful solutions which we were very impressed with - Easy to work with: they were very flexible to our needs, and no ask or silly question or particular request was too much. Communication was excellent at all stages, including today even 12 months after completion when they are busy with other major projects. Even during more challenging times, they were very reasonable and maintained a high level of professionalism. I would describe their business as having the best of both worlds - a premium builder experience but with a family run / personal / small firm approach.

PMB carried out a loft conversion, side return extension and other refurbishment of our home last year and we are so happy with the job that they did on our house. Olga and Colin are 2 extremely talented and friendly professionals who care deeply about doing a good job and doing it respectfully. From what I have heard about other people's experiences, Colin and Olga stand out in terms of their attention to detail and open and honest communication. They don't cut corners, they are interested in an excellent finish and they are lovely to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Reliable and professional, family run business offering a personalised service. Very fast - we had to supply materials (tiles, vanity units, kitchens etc etc) and we had to be chased by the building company! My neighbours were also very complimentary of their work and manners. Thoroughly recommended. I had been introduced to them by another job they previously did for one of my old school friends in North London. My project was a complete refurbishment / renovation of a house not previously been renovated for 40 years: new roof, new internal partitions, creation of 5 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, loft conversion by lowering the ceiling of the floor below to enable a better height for the loft. The chimney had to be supported as well in a very strict area of London: Hampstead Garden Suburb. In addition, minor remnant works / issues which arose after the end of the project were swiftly rectified by the team.

Colin, Olga, Roman and the team were great. They completed my East London loft conversion to a very good standard and ahead of schedule. They were polite and professional throughout the process and accommodating of small changes and additional work that could run in parallel. PMB's pricing was not necessarily the cheapest, but very competitive in the market and I did my fair share of searching - believe me. However, price always needs to balanced with workmanship and this was great. Thank you to you all.

PMB construction were amazing! They were really efficient, professional and respectful of the house and kept it clean (as can be when knocking down walls and chimneys!) and tidied up each evening. They were also really helpful in sourcing worktops and other items and advising on elements of design. Nothing was too much trouble and they were really reasonably priced. I highly recommend them.

Very happy with our fantastic new loft conversion. The layout was really well thought out and delivered to a very professional standard.
