    Building Works and Aftercare

    Posted 28 May

    In August 2024 Hortons took an internal wall down in our house. This entailed unifying two previously separated rooms and making them look as one – so removing a door, replacing a ceiling changing lights and replastering. We were happy with the work that was completed within a tight timescale. However, within 5 months we noticed cracks appearing in the plastering and bubbling in wallpaper. We contacted Hortons and eventually after some delay the owner of the business viewed the problem and promised to get it repaired. We waited and waited. No repair no contact.

    Great garage conversion

    Posted 05 May

    We are delighted with our garage conversion by Horton. We particularly appreciated the expertise, skill and pride that Stuart, Tony, Johnny and Terry brought to the project. Their work was immaculate and it was lovely to have them on site with us. Thank you for your hard work on this project and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

    External Insulation and Rendering

    Posted 04 April

    Horton Builders have just completed a complete refurbishment of the outside of my house, including applying external insulation, finished off with a silicone render. Colin Wheeler oversaw a full team of craftsmen, every one of whom (including their electrician, plumber and outside scaffolding firm) took a pride in their work, delivered a quality result and were a pleasure to have around. I felt that the price was fair. I will use them in the future for building work, and I recommend them to others.

    Porch renovation and paving

    Posted 01 January

    Very good experience using Horton Builders. They were accommodating with delays on our side due to extended survey work, and once started, completed the work within the time frame set. The initial job changed and evolved once it had been started, and we were involved in decisions throughout with the quote being adjusted accordingly. Would recommend.

    Horton did a full rerender of our home.

    Posted 30 December 2024

    Initial short delay in start but once on the job they were excellent. The rendering guys we had worked hard, were reliable, friendly and polite. It took about 4 weeks from start to finish and we always had contractors on site. Delighted with the finish. Not the cheapest who estimated but decision to go with them was absolutely the right choice.
