What our happy clients are saying...

“Several years ago I commissioned Benjamin Henry to build me a Summerhouse. Our existing summerhouse was too small for the needs of a growing family, and it was falling down. Ben came to discuss this project and from the first I was impressed by his flexibility and his desire to find out exactly what I wanted rather than having an agenda of his own. And this continued all the way through the project : at every point he wanted my input and to be sure that what he was designing and building was completely in accord with my wishes. This did not prevent him from making suggestions if I was undecided, but my over all feeling was that I, the customer, was being completely listened to and the result was that I was – and am- 100% satisfied and delighted with the end product. The construction of it was without too much disruption and mess and always Ben was unfailingly polite and helpful and made sure at every point that I was happy with what was happening. The result was the most superb summerhouse which has proved its use and pleasure for me and my husband, our family and friends, year after year.”

What our happy clients are saying...

“We found Benjamin Henry to have the many advantages of a small company. The service on a daily basis over a couple of months was invariably courteous and capable of adapting to last minute ideas and changes of plan. Ben (on site nearly every day) was always available for a chat about developments, open to ideas and suggestions but also clear about which ideas were better, more feasible, and which were not. Unexpected occurrences were calmly taken in the builders’ stride and there was always a quiet but busy work ethic on site. Ben expects and secures high standards from all his team.

All the accounting processes were transparent and meticulously honest and small householder ‘projects’ that were not immediately connected to the main one and not part of the original plan, all of the team were happy to help with when time allowed.

The quality of the workmanship is very high, the finishing detail particularly so. We would happily recommend Benjamin Henry for a wide variety of building works.”

– Mr & Mrs Paul

What our happy clients are saying...

“We commissioned Benjamin Henry to carry out a loft conversion, full length dormer and removal of the chimney stack and we are thrilled with the results.

Throughout the project, the whole team were friendly, professional and sensitive to our needs. The communication was great and rather than feel like we had a company just here to do the project and leave, Ben and his team worked closely with us for the duration, giving us options and different ideas throughout the project which meant we have ended up with a fantastic new space in our house that feels tailor made and personal to our needs.

Nothing was too much trouble and they really went the extra mile which left it stress free for us. It was reassuring to know everything was taken care of which gave us peace of mind.

We are so pleased with the finished project. The standard of work is very high and the new room has transformed our house. I am so pleased we used Benjamin Henry and will definitely use them should we need any projects doing. Highly recommended and a top class service. Many Thanks,”

– Mr & Mrs Dodge
