Alan Bender Ltd

We are very happy we went with Alan Bender Ltd for our complete house renovation. The management of the project was first class, lead by one of their supervisors Simon Andrews. I’m sure all their site supervisors are good but Simon was excellent for us and I would highly recommend requesting him for your project. His team were also excellent, always on time and very friendly to have about on site. Through Simon’s management, the project finished a week ahead of schedule. We used a number of our own connections for things like flooring, kitchen worktops, decorating etc. so can’t comment on these services but for the building work itself (including electrical, plumbing, bathroom fitting, and tiling) we are very happy and would absolutely recommend.

Finding a builder can be very stressful but Alan Bender Ltd made the process straight forward from the start. Oliver Bender and his staff have been extremely helpful and professional throughout. They kept us on schedule and delivered us the perfect build. It was refreshing dealing with a proper company with office staff who can answer all our questions. Oliver Bender is a credit to the industry and the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’ has never been so true. Their business philosophy is in my opinion, a recipe for success. This is because they are hands on and client focused, which is a rare thing in the building industry!The site supervisor Adam, became part of the family for 2 ½ months and was always there to listen to my comments and action my additional requests. My son even asked where he was after the last day of the build, I believe ‘Adam gone’ was the phrase. I have never met such a versatile builder before, he is a credit to ABL.Sarah was fantastic from the start, she always provided answers quickly and no question was too much trouble.I received very positive feedback from my neighbours and others regarding their work and their team’s conduct onsite. Everyone who came onsite during the build mentioned how tidy and organised they were.I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

The team from ABL have just completed a second large project for us and we are just as delighted as last time.We chose to work with the team again because of their professionalism, project management and communication. The skilled site and office teams and contractors (many of whom worked on our first project) tirelessly worked together to ensure that the project was delivered on time. When challenges arose, they managed them.It’s been a real pleasure to have the team with us for the last 10 weeks. Everyone without exception was helpful, kind and respectful but a special mention goes to our site manager Simon who kept everything together.We will continue to recommend the team to anyone asking for a great builder. They are not the cheapest, but the difference in price is squarely made up in the value delivered.Thank you!

Amazing experience with this company. Utterly professional, I was blown away by how curtous and efficient the team was. We are really happy with all the work carried out. Will definitely use them again in the future.

We have had an excellent extension from Alan Bender and are very happy with it. I would like to give more than 4 stars but to me 5 stars would be perfection and we have had the odd issue both during the build and after, which were dealt with promptly.Part of the problem I feel is that the work has been in the main to a very high standard meaning any small niggles are noticeable.I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who asks for a builder.I feel one of the extra benefits is a degree of project management that other builders don't tend to offer.Unfortunately there is no option to give 4.5 stars

I was impressed with the customer service approach from Alan Bender Ltd initially from the follow up e mail (Julie) and phone call ( Oliver) after the quote was submitted to me for a total re roof of a grade II listed farmhouse; this is one of the reasons I chose to use this Company.I was aware that some roof timber may need replacing once the original roof tiles were removed and this was repaired/rectified quickly and efficiently.I was kept informed throughout the process and the work has been carried out to a high standard.Any queries I had either via e mail or telephone, were actioned and replied to quickly.At the completion of the work, the area was left clean and tidy.I have no hesitation at all in recommending Alan Bender Ltd.

We used Alan Bender Ltd to carry out some fairly complicated internal alterations to our home which included a garage conversion, a staircase removal and relocation, a tricky wall and ceiling removal as well as a new roof. Oliver gave us so much confidence from the very beginning. He set out a schedule of works to be undertaken by his team and this was adhered to with them only going a day over. They were efficient and tidy as far as they possibly could be and Oliver came regularly to oversee how the project was coming along and to keep us fully informed of how the project was progressing. With a task like this there were obviously going to be issues which arose along the way but these were dealt with quickly and efficiently by Oliver and the team. We are very pleased with the overall renovations and we would have no hesitation in recommending Alan Bender Ltd.

We purchased our house through Alan Bender Limited. We secured the property before any choices had been made so we had the opportunity to pick colour schemes/ kitchen/ bathroom and floorings ourselves.The whole process has been seamless. Natalie in the office was always available to answer any questions, she was professional and nothing was ever too much effort. Adam our site manager went above and beyond to help us with the ‘little bits and last minute adjustments’ and was always welcoming when we arrived on site for another look! Oliver kept us updated throughout and if anything from the pre- given timeline changed, he would call or email to make sure we were aware.Our house is now our home and we so thankful for the work Alan Bender Limited did.We would happily recommend this company.

We recently endured a serious flood to the ground floor of our home due to a faulty hot water cylinder. Oliver and his team took complete control of everything and returned our home to just like it was before the flood. Whilst our insurers were absolutely useless, Alan Bender Ltd could not have done more for us by not making a drama out of a crisis!

I recently had a new bathroom fitted by Alan Bender Ltd.They weren't my cheapest quote but I am so glad that I got them to do the work.From the moment Oliver came to have a look, I knew I wouldn't have any problems with the company or the work. Oliver and his whole team really care about what they do and doing a quality job.A great company, will be using again.
