My double chimney removal project have truly been done to a very good quality, in a highly reassuring way, and I am very thankful for that. Their service was highly professional, transparent, and traceable, all of which are things I greatly appreciate. Mishal1892025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tommy has done a few jobs for me over the years, and has always been very reliable and professional. The works have been completed to a good standard, at the quoted price and within agreed timelines. I have no hesitation in recommending him for your building project. Ross Jennings2024-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class job by all, from start to finish. Tommy and a team of friendly, hardworking tradesmen helped us finally put to bed a long running saga by restoring a boundary wall. They kept us fully informed at every stage of the job. They took care to minimise mess and disruption and cleared away meticulously on completion. Quite apart from the practical expertise the crew showed, Tommy's handling of the planning and development stages was masterful. I would not hesitate to recommend them. geoff veasey2023-05-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Thomas Ford Construction Ltd following another recommendation. Tommy was reliable and professional and organised all works fantastically. Very responsive and always kept us up to date. He took the stress away from us which naturally comes with renovation. Resolved any unexpected issues quickly and professionally. Would highly recommend, we will be using this company again for future works. Thanks Tommy! Sital Tailor2022-09-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He has great communication skills, good knowledge and experience of his trade and is 100% reliable. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Fantastic job! Kavita Mistry2019-10-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We moved into a new build with a sloped garden. Tommy put in a large patio and sleeper retaining wall for us. During the process another manhole cover was found at a different height to another and the patio looked strange, Tommy came over to discuss this with us outside of his working hours, came up with a new plan outside of the original quote and lifted the slabs and put in an additional sleeper to create a vegetable patch, all at no extra charge. A very professional guy. Very good quality work. Charlotte Moulding2019-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an absolute pro! Come rain or shine, Tommy works above and beyond to deliver the project. Initially rebuilding a wall, we had no end of requests for additional work which Tommy kindly took in his stride. Having now completed a new front garden wall, repointing of the house and a herringbone pathway, we are beyond thrilled with how it all turned out. His prices are more than fair, and the final results are fantastic. Thanks again Tommy! Helen Morgan2019-04-10
