Refitting family bathroom and tiny en-suite 

S1 Builders were not the cheapest quote but I was immediately impressed with the professional presentation. I have had very bad experiences with builders in the past and was worried about escalating costs, poor work, being treated like an idiot and not getting what I wanted. I chose S1 because I felt I could trust them to do a professional job.
From the very beginning I knew I had made a wise choice. The builders were all highly skilled people. They kept to timetables, paid attention to every tiny detail, kept the house clean and communicated promptly whenever I had concerns or questions. If they found problems, they discussed and then sorted them, rather than bodging the job and hiding leaky old pipeworks etc. The finished works are better than I had dreamed. This is my forever home and I am so pleased with the end result. It is workmanship of the highest quality and I trust it will last! Many thanks for restoring my faith in the great British craftsman! Highly recommended and will use again should I need further work done.Five stars.

@s1builders Ltd stove in place

Happy days after six months Arcadia come out and fit the stove. It's a shame rain gets down the chimney even with a liner in it, the cowls don't match and one is fitted with a dent in it. But it looks lovely and the client is really pleased. Just a plate to have made for the arch as its too shallow to keep in place. The guys who fitted the stove were absolute gems, nothing too much for them. 

Yours sincerely

Wall layout at the star with S1 builders ltd

Oak floors galore going down. The layout for the left hand side of the front wall and shots if the oak staircases as they go in. 
 Beaded tongue and groove ceiling boards to replicate the original ones. Also because there is so much flex in the oak beamed flooring we could not plaster it.

Yours sincerely

Oh no @ s1builders Ltd.

Started taking render off where cracks were to fill and decorate the front of the house. Removed the cracks and found bricks missing, render not attached to the wall, bricks just pushed under the Windows, delaminated reneder and more. The client asked my advice. Take it all off make repairs and 're render I said. Yes the weather is not at its best for taking the cement based render off a lime and flint walled building . They want it just patched up lol lol 

Yours sincerely
