9.67 Great garden clearance
Posted 4 days ago
A large area of our front garden needed clearing of ivy, fencing and wood after having a large tree lopped. We contacted Austin Construction who turned up very promptly, gave us a very good price and completed the work over the following 2 days. The area was left very tidy, and the guys did all they could to minimize any damage to the lawn. They also gave us advice about a small retaining wall we thinking of having done. Through out, the guys were very polite and friendly.Verified reviewerJob location: TS5- DDerek G
3.33 Failure to follow up on re-build problem
Posted 6 days ago
Having had the work completed and given a good review I am now changing my opinion. As advised by Austin Construction I should wait 3 days prior to re fitting the original metal gate. Upon the 3 day period and fitting the gate the 2 brackets in the re-built wall were not secured and the gate could not be fitted. I sent an EMail and left a phone message to report this. This is the 4th day and no response yetVerified reviewerJob location: DH9 - DDerek G

Turned up to quote when they said they would, started the job on time, discussed issues in good time as they arose. Extras were priced fairly. As far as this job went, I would recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: DL6 - GGrant S

Job location: DL5Ellis and the team at Austin Construction have been outstanding from start to finish. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. From the first enquiry, communication was prompt, clear and attentive. Every question answered and every update shared without needing to chase. The quality of work has been exceptional and efficiently completed. Even when building control have presented unexpected challenges, they handled everything quickly and professionally, taking time to explain what's happening at each stage. Seamlessly coordinated other trades. 10/10 - LLynne S
