Lexden Builders came recommended from a family friend and we have been extremely pleased with not just the end result but the quality of service and personal touches from the team. Over the course of the five month build the Lexden Builders team were fantastic, no request was to much and we really appreciated the time they put into explaining minor details and how polite and helpful every one was. Hugely considerate given that we have a young family to ensure that we were kept with a living space downstairs. We now have a fantastic new living space prime for spending time with family and friends. A huge thank you to Steve and the team. Matt - Extension & Renovation – Location: Straight Road, Colchester, Essex This was our second project with Lexden Builders so we were confident from the outset that everything would run as smoothly as possible and we were not disappointed. The project this time was much larger but despite there being lots of challenges with materials being obtained (national shortages etc) we were hardly aware of the impact. Steve kept us informed the whole way through and answered any questions we had very promptly. The whole team-John, Jim and James could not have been better and in spite of the upheaval, which was inevitable due to the task being undertaken, they made everything so much easier. They were so helpful, hardworking and professional. To say we are delighted with the finished product is an understatement. We had a vision of what we wanted but our expectations have been surpassed. We will be using Lexden Builders again and will always recommend them to anyone who wants the stress taken away, a professional job undertaken, to be kept fully informed the whole way through. Thank you Steve, John, Jim and James, we are over the moon. Ian & Kathy - Single Storey Extension – Location: Bramley Close, Colchester, Essex It is hard to put into words just how pleased we are with our final result. From the initial consultation with Steve Friend the owner who project manages the scheme and working with his architect we were able to create an outline of what I had been thinking about for months. Then along came Jim, John and James (the three J’s) who made the outline a reality! No small detail was ignored, and from start to finish they all exhibited such a high level of professionalism and consideration for our home. Unfortunately for them we were in lockdown and they had to cope with a one year old, a five year old, a ball crazy dog and myself and my husband. I could not find any fault. They did everything in their power to ensure we had appliances for the duration of the work and I appreciate at times this must have been inconvenient for them- but they never let us know. No small detail was overlooked with many suggestions being spot on to achieve a flawless finish. I wish I could list all of the individuals who effectively became part of our family for the build but I am sure when you make the decision to hire Steve Friend of Lexden Builders and his team you will get to meet them all! Thank you to all of you. Becky, Rob & family - Single Storey Extension, Structural Alterations & New Fitted Kitchen – Location: Colchester, Essex I have engaged Lexden Builders a few times now, firstly for a garage conversion and then subsequently for a rebuild of two bathrooms. On every occasion, the work is carried out in such a professional manner. The team are really friendly, and Steve drops in on occasion to check on how the work is progressing. Steve comes round to the house to review what is needed, agrees an amount for the work and then provides dates. I have never known a job to move from the original date; it starts and finishes on time every time. When the work is carried out, everything is kept tidy and a clean-up is completed at the end.
