    Opening up downstairs, building new room within garage and removing giant fireplace

    Posted 03 May

    Chris has got to be the most considerate builder with a high attention to detail. He very often made suggestions to do things a better way or go the extra mile to do ensure things were always done right. He was very reliable, was very accomodating when we added a whole weeks worth of extra bits as the job went on which came up as things got demolished. When getting a quote he was also the only person to take time to look and see what I was asking and made suggestions rather than just saying "yes" to everything without properly looking. Very highly recommended!

    internal wall removal

    Posted 10 February

    Chris removed an internal wall and fitted a steel, including moving radiator pipes and plastering repairs. The quality of work was great and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again for further work.

    Excellent builder; conscientious, thorough, reliable

    Posted 31 October 2025

    Chris and his assistant replaced our soil vent pipe and underground drain connections, plus redecorated the house masonry. Chris clearly has many years experience and is very knowledgeable so I always felt completely confident in his advice and work. All work was carried out to a very high standard with careful attention to detail. The masonry was thoroughly prepared leading to an excellent result. Chris was willing to accommodate our job to his schedule quickly, always left everything tidy and was a pleasure to work with.

    They are very professional and trustworthy.

    Posted 12 August 2025

    Chris Dowling Building Services did an excellent job replacing and renovating fire door and removing large partition and doing all the necessary remedial work involved. They are very professional and trustworthy. They came on the dates promised. They were very tidy and caused as little disruption as possible. Their prices were acceptable. They left the premises tidy and safe at the end of the day. I have no hesitation in recommending them
