Tony and his team have just completed a new master bathroom for us and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Tony has carried out numerous jobs for us over the years and his work is always completed to an exceptional standard. They are also incredibly friendly, respectful and a pleasure to have working in your home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tony and his team to anyone looking for quality workmanship and a reliable trustworthy builder."

    "Our shed roof needed repairing. We discussed what was required, agreed on materials and a price, and a date for the work to commence. Arrival was very prompt, Tony and Luke got to work immediately and completed the job thoroughly within a few hours. The area was fully cleaned up after, and we talked through what they'd done. We are really impressed with the quality of work and how respectful they were (clean, tidy, and politely spoken). We would highly recommend AR Builders (we've used them before for a job and we'd use them again and again)."

    "Tony has helped upgrade our main bathroom and utility room, and replace a basin and toilet unit in our en-suite bathroom. Both jobs have been done to a high standard and Tony and his team have been courteous and helpful throughout, bringing us in on any decisions when needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AR Builders"
