3 WARNING: TAKING ACTION AGAINST THIS COMPANY TO RETRIEVE MY MONEY!
Posted 27 October
WARNING: This tradesperson has taken my money and not completed the work. The communication was terrible and deadlines were moved constantly. It's a shame as his work when the project first started was very good, he communicated well and did a nice job on my kitchen. He convinced me he was trustworthy during the course of the project and asked for advanced payments in order to continue the work, which didnt get done.Verified reviewerJob location: N17 9 Modification of cloakroom and reconfiguration of kitchen.

We asked 1st Option construction to complete exterior work to install additional supports to the downstairs bay window of our 1930s house due to some long term movement. They completed this work to a high standard and were very efficient. The second stage of the work involved reducing the size of a downstairs cloakroom to enable access from the hall to the kitchen. In addition they relocated kitchen units to work with the new configuration. We found 1st Option to be reliable and always able to offer advice as to how best to make use of space. We would certainly use them again.Verified reviewerJob location: EN510 Full House renovation, very good job ,definitely recommend

We recently had a rear extension added to our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, and communication was excellent throughout. The project was completed on time and within budget, with great attention to detail. The builders kept the site tidy and were respectful of our space. We especially appreciated their creative ideas for maximizing natural light. We highly recommend 1St Option Construction for anyone looking for a quality home extensionVerified reviewerJob location: EN5
