"SecoFlex painting of all external walls of the house."

Contract for external repair of cracked or loose rendering and application of SecoFLEX paint to all sides of the house including the fitting of dry verges to a gable end.
The survey was undertaken on 23/09/24 and was very thorough and well explained.
The quotation included extensive scaffolding to all areas which was something not included by other contractors. This was a key factor in accepting the fixed price quotation.
Although the work was scheduled to take about three weeks it was not completed until December 2024 due to the unusually severe weather conditions at that time. Although there were many interruptions to the work, everything was amicably explained and relations with the contractors were excellent through the entire construction period. At no time was the paint applied in damp conditions. At times the contractors seemed to go the extra mile in giving attention to finishes.
On completion it was found that minor damage to the guttering had been caused by the scaffolding and the sections of affected gutters were immediately replaced without hesitation.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the work. My only caution is to counsel prospective homeowners to avoid placing an outdoor contract late in the year due to uncertainties with regard to the weather.
In summary, I say well done to all concerned.

"Durable & Weather-Resistant"

I used Home Building & Surveying to apply a Secoflex wall coating on my property, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The finish looks great, and the best part is that it holds up well against the weather. We’ve had a few heavy rains since it was applied, and the walls still look perfect, no cracks or peeling. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for something long-lasting and durable. Would highly recommend!

"Damp proofing done right"

After reading some of the other reviews about Home Building, I felt compelled to share my own experience, which has been very positive. From the initial survey to the completed work, everything went smoothly, and I was really impressed with the professionalism and honesty they demonstrated throughout the entire process.The surveyor who came to assess my property was thorough and took the time to explain exactly what was causing the damp issues. I appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell unnecessary treatments, instead providing a clear and honest recommendation. The quote I received was transparent and reasonable, with no hidden fees or surprises.The team arrived on time, fully prepared, and made sure to protect my home while working. They efficiently carried out the damp proofing, taking care to minimise disruption, and ensured everything was cleaned up once they were done. I was really impressed with their workmanship and attention to detail.It’s been several months since the damp proofing was completed, and I’m happy to report that the issues are entirely gone. There’s no more musty smell, no damp patches, and my home feels much drier and warmer. The results have been fantastic.Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Home Building. The team was professional, the work was done to a high standard, and the results speak for themselves. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing damp proofing or similar services.

"Unscrupulous company "

Unscrupulous company
Totally misled by salesman. Still have a serious damp problem after 18 plus months and paying out £3000
Spoke with company numerous times, 20 year guarantee not worth the paper it’s written on.
They want to charge £150 plus VAT to come and advise us how much more money they want to rectify their shoddy work
Currently taking legal action
AVOID

"Very poor administrative back up and…"

Very poor administrative back up and incorrect invoicing let down the excellent contractor who completed the building work and PIV installation.
