Gary and Mike from ABC have recently completed building works and the installation of a new kitchen in our home in Timperley. This included roofing, new French doors, brickwork, plaster boarding, floor levelling, plumbing, electrics, installing a Howden’s kitchen, painting and tiling. They listened to what we wanted, gave advice when appropriate, and allowed us to make our own choices. We agreed what work would be done and they worked hard completing the project on time, giving regular progress updates. Each day they arrived about 8am and kept going until they'd completed that day's tasks, which sometimes meant staying until 6 or 7pm. As with anything, the quality of the result is only as good as the preparation, and so occasionally progress felt a little slow, but this was just Gary’s perfectionism, which is borne out in the final product.
ABC handled everything including the building inspector. We did have a cheaper quote, but are in no doubt that the quality of the workmanship and getting exactly what we wanted was well worth the extra. If you want a quick cash in hand job look elsewhere, but don't expect to get the same result. Gary and Mike do all the work themselves, so you don't have a house full of different strangers each day. They are totally trustworthy and we were happy to leave them with keys while we went on holiday for a week.
Additional plastering and plumbing work came to light during the project, and they happily did these items too. They were very flexible and happy to let us purchase items where we had specific requirements, such as worktops and a sliding internal door. The materials they provided are all top quality brands, such as a Smiths plinth heater.
Gary and Mike are very friendly and enjoy a bit of banter and ribbing, but are honest and professional. When we were looking for someone for our project we asked friends and neighbours about their experiences but they all said they wouldn't recommend the companies they'd used. However we can honestly say Gary would be the first person we'll call next time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend ABC.
