Larkhall Construction - Bath

Kieran J.

Larkhall Construction did a really great job renovating our kitchen-diner and living room. They stepped in when our previous builder dropped out last minute, which was a real life-saver as we only had a few months where the work could take place. The Director's communication is excellent, a rarity among the businesses we engaged. The team was very professional and handled the challenges that arose, including snagging.

Larkhall Construction is a firm I would happily recommend to you. They turned our old breeze block garage into a new home office, whilst as part of the same work remodelled our outside deck and supported us to repair our roof. Nothing was too much bother. The workman were excellent, friendly and polite to all our neighbours and to us and the standard of work was superb. James and his team were great and we now have an excellent office and covered carport, a new deck, solar panels on the roof and a waterproof roof. Brilliant firm to work with.

I would highly recommend James and his team, they were excellent, very friendly and easy to discuss our plans and ideas with for our new conservatory. We were kept up to date with progress of the build, his team were professional and the conservatory was finished to a very hight standard. Thank you James!

Extremely satisfied customer!!

I had a spring water leak in the driveway and James was able to offer great initial advice on investigating with the Water company. After that, I still needed Larkhall Construction to solve the problem, which they did, promptly and efficiently.

HIGHLY recommend this company - excellent quality work, good value and friendly people.

I can very highly recommend Larkhall Construction. From beginning to end, the process was made as easy as possible, and the work was completed to an excellent standard.

On the first visits, great care was taken to measure up the work properly and to assess all that needed doing. The quote was carefully detailed and specified exactly what would be done, and when, and all the work was properly justified so that I could see what was being done, and why, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. I was given full written details of the contractual arrangements, and of the full insurance cover held by the company.

Work started on the day I was told it would, and it ended on time, with the work properly completed, ready for me to move back into the house. At every point during the work, I was kept fully updated about the progress and about any issues that had arisen. I was contacted promptly if a decision was required or if any unforeseen issues arose. When I visited the work, everyone on the site was courteous and happy to tell me what was being done and how the work was progressing. I was extremely pleased with the attitude of the workers and glad to have entrusted my home to them.

Overall, from the director to every worker on the site, I have found Larkhall Construction to be a pleasure to deal with, both in the quality of the work they do, and in how they do it and deal with a customer.

James Glass/ Larkhall Construction Testimonial
We are so glad that we chose James and his team to see through a major project on our home. The job was an extremely challenging one: following architectural plans and structural engineer specifications, to knock through load-bearing walls in our ground-floor, dig out almost a meter’s depth of earth and rock to create fully insulated foundations and floor, and finally fully refurbish and fit a kitchen in the newly opened-up space. Our Victorian terraced house, like many in Bath, has nightmare access issues, and is built into a very steep hill, with the ground-floor access only from a skylight and rear garden path.
James and his team were not deterred by this, and rose to the challenge. We were particularly impressed by his project management, always punctual and able to co-ordinate what was required: heavy labour, plumber, carpenter, mason, electrician, skips etc. in a timely way. We particularly appreciated his daily progress updates via email – concise and business-like, as well as weekly summaries of what was achieved, together with the following week’s schedule. Superb! When problems and set-backs arose due to the discovery of damage caused by historical damp and rot, he was able to re-schedule with great efficiency, and advise on remedies.
From a skills level, James and his team are perfectionists, and their craftsmanship and quality assurance are by far the best we have experienced through a lifetime of home improvements! Above all though, we found James and team to be warm, considerate, thoughtful and with great senses of humour, and we became very attached to them during the project. Consequently, we would have no hesitation in recommending Larkhall Construction to friends, and already several neighbours in our street have booked their services and are equally happy with the results.

First of all, a big thank you to James and his team.
James was very professional in his delivery of a quote which explained what and how he was going to proceed. Our work was not the most straightforward, but it was brilliantly executed.
His men worked very well together, with an amazing sense of awareness and helpfulness which was very much appreciated by us. They were mindful of the fact that we were living on the premises and there was a good clean up each day.
James’ communication was also great, with a message each evening with updates and progress reports as well as timings for the next day - again much appreciated.
Finally, as well as helpful advice and ideas, James and his team also came to our rescue helping to lift a kitchen worktop - several weeks after his work had been completed!
All in all we highly recommend James and Larkhall Construction. Kate and Will.
