  Structural works, renovation and constructing dormers, and a flat roof

  Posted 07 July

  Many thanks to Phil and the whole team for their great work, opening up our kitchen-diner and installing a flat roof, and constructing timber framed dormers on our 1940s bungalow, and creating various openings and structural works. They were reliable, flexible and completed the work to a high standard ahead of schedule - and they were happy to suit our requirements for a shell only build, and focused on making things work! We're delighted with the works and enjoyed having the team onsite. Very transparent and easy to work with.

  Removal of chimney breast and cupboard, plastering and making good the walls and ceiling

  Posted 06 July

  Phil and the team were great - really good communication, reliable, on time, very tidy and great quality workmanship. They even put up with the wasps that appeared from the rafters - which I am very sorry for!

  Garage upgrade into living space

  Posted 08 April

  Phil and his team upgraded our 4-car garage into temporary living space after our house was destroyed by fire in Jan. 2025. We needed on-site accommodation urgently and Phil kindly fitted in the work around his ongoing commitments. He offered invaluable advice on how best to insulate and design the space and then delivered the upgrade in a very cost-effective and timely way. Phil and his team were very friendly, flexible and easy to work with. This was extremely important for us given the stress we were under in the aftermath of the fire.

  Kitchen renovation and fixing leak

  Posted 22 November 2024

  The team were helpful, punctual, tidy and professional. We're thrilled with our kitchen, and Phil even came back 3 years later to look at a leak in our roof for us as a favour. Very much recommend.

  Single Storey Rear Extension and garage conversion

  Posted 05 February 2024

  I engaged Phil from General Building to build my rear extension. Phil and his team started mid july and very pretty much done by end sept, came back in mid dec after other trades were done to finish off the work. 1. Phil and team were onsite, on-time every single day. There were no stoppages except for weather 2. Worked very well with the other trades I engaged (UFH/Heat pump, Kitchen, tiler,decorator) 3. Always focussing on getting it right first time with top quality. I will gladly recommend Phil for any building work.
