“A friendly and professional building company, who were very reliable and efficient in carrying out our two storey side extension and new downstairs cloakroom. We were kept informed of any issues that arose and the works were carried out for a fair and reasonable price. Overall a trustworthy building firm who performs to a high level of service. Finally we would like to thank Richard and Shaun and all of your team who carried out the works on our property, for all your diligent hard work and professionalism in providing us with our side extension and we wish you and your company continued success in the future. Thank you Abbey.”

“We have been very happy with the building work and have been particularly impressed by the efficiency of the whole project. All the required materials appeared on our drive just at the right moment. We also appreciate Sean’s hardwork, in particular the Saturday mornings spent doing jobs to make sure everyone else could get on on Monday. Your two brickies worked really hard. I notice these things as I am around all day. It made me tired just watching!

“I have had several friends asking if your company is any good. A couple are in the early stages of talking to architects so you may be sure that there will be a steady stream of interested friends coming to inspect your work!”

Mrs Gardens

“First class work and excellent after care. Richard’s team built an extension for us 5 years ago and the work is still as great now as it was on the day they left (apart from the wear and tear of two teenage boys!). Although having builders in your house for several months is difficult, Richard’s team made it as painless as possible, they were always charming, tidy and polite. With two youngish children in the house, that was really important to us.

The work was of a very high standard, changes we made along the way were always accepted if possible and we have recommended Richard to at least 4 of our friends, all of whom have used him subsequently.

If you want your building work doing well, with a team you feel comfortable with, you should definitely get Abbey Building to quote for you.”

We asked Abbey Building Services to build our two storey extension and we are extremely impressed with the work. Everything was clearly explained from the start and Abbey responded quickly to all communication throughout.The whole team were friendly, polite, hardworking and obviously took pride in their work. Importantly they kept to the quoted budget and provided a quality finish. The site was always left neat and tidy every day. They also matched the bricks to our existing house really well.

We’ve just had our conservatory roof converted from an old polycarbonate roof to a fully insulated, tiled roof by Abbey Building Services, and we couldn’t be happier with the result! From start to finish Piers led and worked with the team and deserves special mention. His knowledge, professionalism, calm & confident approach were outstanding. He took the time to explain each stage of the project clearly, offered helpful guidance and ensured everything was completed to the highest standard. It was obvious throughout that he takes real pride in his work and genuinely cares about delivering a quality finish. The room already feels completely transformed! It’s so much warmer now as we head into winter, and we look forward to sitting in it during summer, as before it used to be far too hot to sit in! With the new roof, beautifully plastered ceiling and two new Velux windows, it’s now a genuinely useable, comfortable space all year round. Special thanks also to Luigi for all his hard work, knowledge and guidance and to Andy & Glen the plasterers, who did a fantastic job! Their professionalism, high standards, great teamwork and clear pride in their work were easy to see from day one. The whole team were everything you would hope for in a building company…friendly, polite, honest, hardworking and incredibly attentive to detail. They worked cleanly and efficiently every single day and were always respectful of our home. Their communication was excellent throughout, and the quality of the workmanship really shows. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to thoroughly recommend Abbey Building Services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable company who take real pride in their work.

We reviewed a number of local builders before embarking upon a refurbishment plan for our home in St.Albans. We are delighted that we chose Abbey Building. It’s a family business led by Richard Bamforth who throughout the process was attentive, creative and timely. Everything within the project was completed to a high standard and pre agreed budgets were followed tightly and we always knew exactly where we stood. Richard and his team were also flexible and understanding if things needed changing or modifying if we had a change of mind on certain elements. Any successful and high performing team is only as good as the sum of its parts. Richard is supported by son Piers and an excellent collection of high quality tradesmen all of whom were a pleasure to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend Abbey’s services and look forward to working with them again in the future

Richard’s team at Abbey Building did a brilliant job on our loft extension, and we are thrilled with it. The team were lovely to have in the house and left the house each day in a clean state. They were very considerate (important with a new born!), provided sound advice to our questions and completed everything to a high standard. Piers, John & Drew were a pleasure to have completing our building works, and I could not recommend Abbey Building highly enough!

Abbey building recently completed a double story rear extension for us. We initially contacted Abbey about a year before we even had planning permission, and even at that stage, Abbey were happy to prepare a document detailing what would need to be done and roughly how much it would cost - no other builder we spoke to was willing to do this. When we eventually got planning permission, I spoke to several builders (including Abbey), but Abbeys quote was by far more thorough than all the other builders. We were very worried from reading all the horror stories about builders who change their quote in the middle of the project, so we were very pleased that Abbey did not change anything on their quote for the full duration of the project. We found the team at Abbey very friendly and professional. We were always made aware of the next steps so we knew what to expect, and we really did not need to manage anything, just let them do their thing. We are please with our extension, and we cannot recommend Abbey highly enough.

We had just bought a house in the Hatfield area, we engaged Abbey Building Services & Maintenance for a quote and instantly from that initial conversation with Richard, it led to us going ahead to utilising them for a full house refurbishment along with a rear ground floor extension. Unlike some other builders we had engaged, with Abbey Building Services we felt an instant rapport and as we also shared some common interests it made it a no brainer for us to utilise them. Considering we had engaged them over the pandemic, and with all the building supply chaos going on, Richard and team were able to keep us posted, and ensured everything was ordered in advance of us needing them (steels etc). We were kept up to date and were able to pay in milestone increments Richard and team were very flexible, and they were all very knowledgeable about their trades, special shoutout to Piers, Cliff and John who were the main team looking after us. Would highly recommend Abbey Building Services & Maintenance for any home renovation works / extensions

Richard was brilliant. We chose Abbey due to Richard's responsiveness and his attention to detail. Abbey completed a side and rear extension for us in 2018/2019, and we are so happy with it. We trusted Richard to make decisions on our behalf or guide us through things that we knew little about. His team were lovely people to have in the house and worked to a high standard. If we had any concerns they were dealt with quickly. While the quote was slightly more than others, it was comprehensive and it didn't change. I would highly recommend Abbey Building.
