    Incredible Building Service!

    Posted 1 day ago

    We hired A R Building Service to revamp our en suite bathroom and the team were professional from start to finish. The old en suite was inspected and a detailed quote was provided, with clear instructions on what would be required from a labour standpoint, as well as materials. The job was done on time and the building team were incredibly friendly, providing clear guidance on what was being done as the en suite revamp took shape. Couldn't be happier with the result, highly recommend!

    Home (bedrooms and bathrooms)

    Posted 29 April 2025

    Tony and his team did extensive building works to our bungalow which had an array of damp (wall, ceiling and floor) issues in the bathrooms and bedrooms. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, Tony was professional, efficient and reliable. He was also easy to communicate with and open to discussing changes and took the time to explain the process. We highly recommend him for any project, big or small.

    Installation of patio, drainage, fencing, driveway and landscaping

    Posted 10 April 2025

    Tony completed extensive outside works to our property. He met with us initially, agreed a price, schedule of works and specification. Tony was friendly and approachable throughout. He always answered the phone when we called him. Tony takes pride in his work and all work was completed to a very high standard. The project took a little longer than expected due to weather constraints as he completed the work over the winter. I would highly recommend Tony.

    I found Mr Thomas a most affable and honest gentleman. Prompt to start work and exceptionally hard working, I actually worried that he was overdoing it. All his work has been completed to a very high standard. I am exceptionally impressed and would not hesitate to recommend him or have him back to do other works.

    New Garden

    Posted 13 February 2025

    Tony and his team completed a complete re-vamp of our garden, removing the old decking, providing new decking, artificial grass and new paving from a very tired and worn out looking garden. From the first step Tony was excellent, sharing his ideas and giving us a vision we was very excited about as we wasn't 100% sure what we wanted. The communication skills throughout the project was excellent, giving us updates every step of the way. More importantly the works were completed on time and in budget which was very impressive as there was some unforeseen complications. Thank you Tony!!!
