10 Great Job
Posted 08 December
Job location: IG10Great Experience from “Back to basics” from beginning to end was recommend to them I needed them, to the to take down a shed and get rid of the shed. Answered my call, gave me a quote within 5 mins, arranged a date that worked for me and was quick to get sorted. Arrived on time, very tight and did a great job and tidied up after. All done within an hour. Highly recommend.10 5 stars!

Tony and the team did an amazing job on my garden project. From start to finish they were easy to work with, super friendly, and really knew what they were doing. The communication was spot on, they turned up when they said they would, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The quality of the work is brilliant — the garden looks completely transformed, even better than I pictured. They were tidy, professional, and clearly take pride in what they do. Honestly can’t recommend Tony and his team enough. If you’re thinking about getting any garden work done, these are the guys to go with!Verified reviewerJob location: IG810 Dismantle Pergoda and Flowerbed
Posted 08 November
I engaged the services of “Back to Bases” to help dismantle a Pergoda and Flower bed/Soil in the garden. I spoke to Tony who gave a very competitive price, clear communication. Mark and Ollie did a fantastic job on the day, very professional, respectful and cleaned up the area as they found it. Would highly recommend this business.Verified reviewerJob location: IG310 Excellent company

10 Excellent Company
Posted 19 September
We used Back to Bases for a decking replacement and a base installation for a log cabin. From the initial enquiry to the completion of the job, their communication was consistently excellent. The work was carried out by a polite and hardworking team who arrived as scheduled and used top-quality materials. The decking, in particular, was finished to perfection. We cannot recommend Back to Bases highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or share their details with family and friends.Verified reviewerJob location: RM1
