Crown Home Developments - Peterborough

Mike Corcoran

We started a project with Ricky to convert three rooms into a single “live in” kitchen area at the beginning of November 2023…...with a planned completion date of December 22nd. We almost made that date and would have without some delivery issues from our kitchen supplier. Ricky managed the project superbly from day one and kept all work to schedule……despite numerous challenges. We were 90% there for Christmas and finally finished by the end of February 2024.

We did not know Ricky before starting to look around for someone to manage the project and do all the building work. We had met with the usual kitchen supply options – including Howdens, Wren, Love Kitchens etc. We eventually settled on a local supplier – SheeWater Homes (not, as it turned out, our best decision in the process) utilising their Gaddesby range. The kitchen companies had their own preferred building contacts and we met with a few of them. The quotes we received were similar, but we liked Ricky and decided to take a chance.

Ricky and all his contractors (including the kitchen installer, electrician, plumber, floor fitter, carpenter, the door installers, and the cornice guys) did a great job. Ricky kept us fully informed throughout and the workload was managed in line with the original day by day calendar we were given at the start.

We cannot recommend Ricky highly enough. If you are struggling to find the right resource to manage a building project, you cannot go wrong with Ricky and his team. A well deserved 5 stars!

Crown Developments converted our garage into a lounge/playroom. The whole process took 2 weeks, as promised. Ricky and his team did a fantastic job. Ricky went out of his way to make the process as smooth as possible, giving us everything we asked for, and more. The quality of work was excellent and we were extremely delighted with the final result. What made Crown Developments really stand out was their personal service and professionalism. We can't thank them enough!

We cannot recommend or praise Ricky, Sarah and his team more highly for the work carried out in transforming our home with a large Kitchen/Diner/utility room.
From the first telephone call, and the design/tender Zoom meetings, the process was made easy by clear and concise communication. Never once, during the planning stage were we promised something that subsequently could not be delivered or told that we could not have something that we requested.By the time we placed the order, it was extremely clear as to what we would be getting for our money, when we would have to pay and when the project would be delivered.
Ricky’s great skill is in project management and problem solving, and he always kept a very tight reign on his team in order to deliver the agreed main bulk of the project within 8-weeks. We were quite frankly astonished by the delivery of the extension, and the quality. He also communicated with us daily and was very honest about any daily engineering difficulties that arose and how they were dealt with. The advice, input, fairness and respect that Ricky and his team showed, to help us achieve the finished article and also stick within budget, was exemplary and made what could have been a very difficult experience, very enjoyable and free from worry.
Our finished project exceeded expectations and is a beautiful, practical living space. We do not feel that we compromised due to our budget at all, as Ricky always managed to find a suitable solution to any concerns.
Crown are a very safe pair of hands and deliver high quality products.

Ricky Crown, builder, converted our garage into a utility room in 2020. He provided a complete service, from planning to final finish, always considerate and keeping us informed about how work was going. His project management was very good and the job finished on time. We were very pleased with the result and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Very satisfied with quality of work.
Ricky responded immediately after we contacted with him regarding job valuation. Turned up as we agreed. Job started and finished as planned. We will be definitely contacting Crown Home Development in future as we have more home improvement projects in mind.

I just spoke to the gentleman on the phone , whom is highly knowledgeable, gave me lots of free advice regarding a quote, not trying to sell anythjng and all I can wish is further success in his business. I did offer something as a kind gesture but he refused, certainly someone I will consider using if things get approved.
