Testimonials

I recently used the services of S. Bracey. The issue that needing addressing at our house was one that had been impossible to properly diagnose for several years, with countless builders either showing no interest in solving our problem or were unable to provide a clear solution.

Simon, who came recommended by our neighbour, was very helpful, responded promptly to our request for a quote and gave us a clear diagnostic.

The team that carried out the work on our house was very professional and friendly. The quality of the work and finish is excellent, better than what we were expecting.


I would not hesitate to use this company's services again and I am very happy to recommend him and his team.

“We bought an old house and there wasn’t a single room that didn’t need modernising as well as other modifications we wanted to make -


Central heating was fitted

An extension was built at the rear of the property

A new kitchen was fitted (including wood work surface)

One room had damp and required corrective work and needed the appropriate damp proofing course to be applied

New fireplaces were fitted in all rooms

Every room and some ceilings needed plastering

All the wood work was taken back to natural and stained

A down stairs toilet was added

A new bath room suite was fitted and tiled floor to ceiling

The property was decorated throughout


The quality of the work was excellent. It was completed efficiently and proved to be great value. I can’t recommend S.Bracey General Building Ltd highly enough and will definitely be using him again.”

Dear Simon,


Just a note to say how pleased I am with the alterations you carried out to my cottage.


I must admit that I was not looking forward to the old lathe and plaster ceiling coming down as it is a very dirty job but was impressed with the care that was taken to keep the cottage as clean as possible. I am also delighted that all the ugly plumbing and cables have now been concealed.


The design and quality of the kitchen and the way it has been fitted is excellent, even down to the way your carpenter scribed the plinths to the uneven flagstone floor.


The redesign of the utility room and shower room has made much better use of the space available, I would not have thought that just by moving a wall it would have created such a usable room, The tiling and underfloor heating is brilliant and by installing a new upvc back door and fitting proper insulation to the ceiling it has made a huge difference.


I will be in touch within the next week or two to discuss the options that may be available to create an en-suite bathroom and redesign my master bedroom.


I have recommended you to a friend of mine who needs an extension for a kitchen and bedroom above.


Thank you and your team again for a stress free experience. It is, I think, unusual to find someone who carries out the amount of work that was undertaken here on time and within budget.


Yours sincerely


Rita Cogan


I would to thank you and your team for the fantastic transformation of that nasty extension off the kitchen.


With the gorgeous weather we’ve been experiencing, it’s wonderful to be able to open the doors and velux windows onto the patio and let the air and light into the kitchen. The new room is certainly being used well and we spend most of our time in it.


A big thank you to your team who all worked with such professionalism and minimum intrusion; the construction and decorating is of a high standard. And a big thank you to you for handling our demands and changes and dealing with the neighbours when issues arose.


I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and would certainly use your services again for any further building work.


Many thanks again and kind regards
