Lee and his team ( Gary & Rick) did a truly excellent job in replacing a collapsed brick wall on my garden boundary. Their advice was really helpful, and they went the extra mile to ensure that I had exactly the kind of brick I wanted. They were prompt, efficient and friendly as well as excellent craftsmen. The wall is a lovely job of work, and they were also able to repair an adjoining fence panel that had been damaged in the collapse. They were scrupulous in protecting the garden and the house through which they had to carry everything including the rubble. I would call them in for future work.

Lee's team of Gary & Rick (plus 2 other guys part of the time) were excellent. They were efficient and helpful, clearing away all waste materials, putting back anything that had needed to be moved, and they were generally a pleasure to have around. I particularly appreciated Lee confirming our agreed start date a few days beforehand, and the final invoice amount was the same as his quote, also nice! I had used the company for a previous job, and will happily use them again. Great service, and I unhesitatingly recommend them as a good, professional outfit.

I had a great experience with LR Building. We brought them in to repair a chimney breast removal which had been completely botched by previous owners. Lee was immediately responsive by phone and email. He came out quickly for a quote visit and gave me genuine/honest advice (including where he thought work in fact did NOT need doing, which was very refreshing). Ricky and Gary, who did the work itself, were brilliant. They were professional, friendly, always bang on time, and completed the work to a very high standard. They cleaned up so that the site was spotless before they left each day. Having had some bad experiences in the past, I'm very happy that I have found LR Building and they will be my first choice in future.

French drain

I needed a French drain putting in on 3 sides of my house, prior to insulation work. Lee was prompt to come round for a look and to give a quote. His team then carried out the work over the next 2 weeks and did a very nice job for me. They were considerate - arriving when they said they would and telling me if they were going to be slightly delayed. In a nutshell: a good job, and good communication throughout, very professional. I would unhesitatingly recommend them and use them again.

We used LR Building to work on the remains of the Chimney in our loft space. The Chimney Breast had been removed years ago and needed work to bring it up to date with present building standards. We needed the work to be done urgently as we are selling our house, Lee visited us and explained what needed to be done and pulled out all the stops arranging surveyor visits etc and took the work on immediately. Lee and his brilliant team arrived on time every day and worked tirelessly, making sure that we understood everything they were doing. Once the work was done everything was left clean and tidy and all rubbish was removed without delay. A second surveyor visit was arranged and certification for the work was issued. I would not hesitate to recommend LR Building to anyone looking for a reliable and professional Building Company.

Lee and the team have a good work ethic always punctual and are always cleaning up after themselves. The work is of a very high standard, could not fault the wall and the finish on the plaster was a very smooth finish. To say me and the wife are happy with the finished product would be an understatement. We would definitely use Lee and the team again on any future building works.

LR building were preferred contractors to undertake works to my property as they had the most competitive quote. Lee was very professional, explained everything clearly and seemed like a nice, genuine fella. Works carried out was repointing to external brickwork, repair guttering and facia and repair to chimney stack, which were all done to a very satisfactory high standard. The job was done in the time stated and Lee was neat and tidied up as he went along. The company had good communications and always answered my telephone calls. I would definitely use LR builders again.

Lee and his team did a great job on taking the wall down and opening the room up to give more space. The work was finished on time and to a high standard. I was really impressed with Lee's expertise and helpful advice in working out the best solution to my needs. Highly recommended.

I contacted LR building after a nightmare with another builder who left the job in an unsafe way Lee visited the site and as soon as he see the problem he temporarily made it safe with supports there and then, which I was grateful. The work continued 2 weeks time and was completed and passed by building control who also he assisted with. I cannot thank Lee enough and his team, who not just completed and rectified the other builders mistakes, but for making my mind at ease. I fully recommend LR Building Knowing you have a professional builder who knows what there doing.

Lee's team have done excellent work on our house. After having a Damp Survey carried out, Lee came round and assessed the work to be carried out. A further visit with Lee's foreman was arranged. The work mainly involved uncovering the damp course, due to the ground being too high outside of the kitchen. Lee's team were friendly, very hard-working and always left things clean and tidy at the end of the day. They happily answered any questions we had and were always helpful. They stayed in contact via phone to keep us informed of arrival times while checking this was convenient. An excellent team. Job well done!
