Recent Client Testimonials

We have a home exceeding anything that we had dreamed of! There were no corners cut and the finish was fantastic – Alan’s eye for detail exceeded even ours! He is a true gem in the world of builders, taking a genuine pride in the work he carries out and completing everything to a very high standard.
Building a home involves thousands of decisions but the best one we made was employing Alan!
We recently demolished and rebuilt our home in Cuffley and were extremely fortunate to have Alan Wright carry out the work for us. Would I recommend him and his team?
Absolutely!
We were complete novices to the world of home improvement and Alan made the whole journey a manageable experience from beginning to end. His expertise, skill, conscientiousness and endless patience were faultless throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and every member of the team he brought to the site was equally professional, courteous and reliable.

Mr. & Mrs. P. McGuigan

Alan and his team turned up on the agreed date, and every day, weekend and bank holiday for 8 months until the job was complete. As and when problems arose (and they always do), a solution was always calmly and carefully worked out. Any variances that would affect our budget were always quoted for beforehand, and our total spend with Alan was almost exactly to his original quotation.
Our development was a 1930’s detached house in an acre of garden. Almost untouched since it was built, planning was to extend to one side, remove the roof and add another floor and to incorporate and convert a detached garage. In the process, all internal walls and floors would be removed and replaced, two new staircases installed, and the whole rewired, replumbed, replastered, and new windows throughout. In short, a lot easier to knock it down and start again!
The quote was not the most expensive, nor the cheapest,  but from the first meeting we got on fantastically well with Alan. He was professional, articulate and very straightforward, and we were totally confident in giving him the contract.

Nothing was too much trouble and the skill and craftsmanship that went into the project resulted in a beautifully built and finished house. We have to be two of the very few people that really missed our builders when they left!
We have completed many projects over the years but Alan and his men are by far the best team we have ever worked with and we would not hesitate for a moment in recommending him to anyone.

Mr. & Mrs. D. Fuller

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alan – in fact, I already did, to my best friend! I was delighted with the both the quality of the work and the manner in which it was undertaken. Alan and his colleagues were a pleasure to deal with, and Alan was always honest about the progress of the work, any issues arising and the costs. He’s so good that I don’t really want to write this as it might mean that he’s too busy next time I have a building project!

We used Alan and his Team on a number of occasions and it is a measure of our confidence in him that we were comfortable giving him the keys and allowing him to get on with it. Alan understood what we wanted and not only did he deliver but ensured the work was done to the highest standards. Work was always completed on time and Alan was always available to talk over issues or incorporate relevant amendments. We valued immensely Alan’s professional counsel and are proud to say we regard him as a friend and not simply a hired contractor.

Alan Wright is one of the nicest people you could meet.  His professionalism is second to none, he is always polite and courteous and is extremely trustworthy.  Alan is always the first person we call when we want some building work done on our house and he comes up with some good ideas and vision when we can’t see it ourselves.  The finished job is always perfect – he won’t leave until it is perfect.  I would highly recommend Alan to anyone that asks, and have done on quite a few occasions.

Mrs. P. Jewell

Alan and his team took care of our ambitious conservatory, outdoor kitchen and patio build. We had a grade 2 listed house and our local council was a very protective and strict.  Alan handled all the challenges we faced calmly and confidently making sure that all parties were satisfied. He handled complex architectural design contributing excellent ideas of his own to improve the design and decrease cost.

The teams attention to detail made the finish absolutely superb.
The project management of the build was key. Alan planned labour and material orders well in advance to make sure there were no delays. The project ran very smoothly despite some Covid back log challenges.
The team worked hard and kept the site clean. We had dogs and we lived at the property throughout the project. Everyone in the team was considerate to our privacy and safety.
I cannot recommend Alan and his team enough. We would use them for any future projects.

Our Process

    Initial Consultation

    We begin by listening. In your initial consultation, we take time to understand your goals, budget, and vision for the project. Whether you have detailed plans or just an idea, this stage sets the foundation for everything that follows.

    Design Concept

    Our team develops a design concept tailored to your needs. We consider layout, functionality, and aesthetics — presenting you with a clear vision for your project. We’ll collaborate with you to refine every detail until the concept feels just right.

    Building Regulations Package

    Once the design is approved, we prepare a comprehensive package for building regulations approval. This includes detailed technical drawings and specifications, ensuring the project meets all required standards and passes smoothly through local authority checks.

    Quotation

    With the approved design and specification in hand, we provide a detailed, transparent quotation. This gives you a clear breakdown of costs, timelines, and scope — no hidden surprises, just a professional proposal you can trust.

    Construction & Sign-off

    From groundworks to final finishes, we handle every stage of the build. Our team manages the entire construction process with precision, keeping you updated and the site running smoothly. Quality, safety, and efficiency guide everything we do.

    When the work is complete, we walk you through the finished project to ensure every detail meets your expectations. Once you’re fully satisfied, we formally sign off — and leave you with a space that’s ready to enjoy.
