    G A Giles & Sons - Build Project

    Posted 08 September

    We employed G A Giles and Sons for an Extension and Renovation project to a bungalow. Consisting of rear and front extension, new garage, bedroom and showrooms, along with complete renovation. Re-wire, plumbing and plastering throughout. This included fitting two en-suite shower rooms and kitchen. Darren and his team George and Jim, were very helpful and supportive throughout this project. Reliable and trust worthy, quite happy to leave them to look after the property and supervise other trades. I think the question is would we employee them again, answer without hesitation.

    Excellent work, great people

    Posted 07 August

    Darren Giles has now done further work for us, and once again the work has been carried out to the highest standards... but more importantly for us is that, in a world where I so often get unreliable and inconsistent service, Darren is a joy to deal with. He is a man of the highest integrity who has always done great work at a reasonable price... and can be absolutely trusted to deliver exactly what has been agreed. I can't recommend him and his team highly enough.

    Look no further

    Posted 07 August

    Darren, George and Jim have carried out various works at my house as part of a substantial renovation. Most recently, this involved building a kitchen extension, removing and building various internal and external walls, and managing sub-contracted trades. The team are always faultlessly reliable, great to deal with, and finish everything to a high standard. We've used many other traders as part of the renovation but Darren and team are the ones I trust the most, and who I'll always and exclusively come back to for building works.

    New exterior door and log cabin build

    Posted 12 February

    We had Darren and the team back again in summer 2024 to put in a concrete base and install a log cabin with shower room. They also replaced a window with a door into the garden and plasterboarded the shed. Three great jobs, just need the good weather back to go with it!

    Knock doorway from kitchen to garage

    Posted 19 November 2024

    Darren did a great job! He was prompt, knowledgable and explained exactly what was involved. He tidied up any mess and kept us informed as to what he’d done and when he’d be back to finish the job. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants work done.

    Major renovation works to old stone house

    Posted 09 October 2024

    Darren and his team have been a godsend in terms of fixing damp problems and issues with a house that was derelict for 4 years. Work was swift, effective and good value. Communication was excellent in terms of both work issues and curtesy. I have no reservations in recommending Darren, Jim and George. They worked for over four months and I am booking them back for a bathroom refit.
