Dulwich Construction

Dulwich Construction have recently finished a side-return kitchen extension for us and we would like to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a builder. Simon Maddocks and his business partner Paul did the most wonderful job and we are so delighted with their work, and the finished build.

We were understandably anxious about undertaking a big and fairly lengthy project such as this (particularly as we have a small baby) but Simon and his team were so professional and courteous and made the whole experience completely stress-free. Simon and Paul have a great team working under them - all of them very skilled and personable. Various neighbours have commented on how pleasant and professional they were.

Simon is very competitive and fair with his pricing and there were no hidden extras (only add-ons that we asked for).

We had a separate architect and Simon worked very professionally with him.

The finished build is really fantastic - beyond what we imagined...

Simon's number is 07704 184897.

Just wanted to add my recommendation to the other posts on the forum about Dulwich Construction. Simon and his team have just finished a 16 week project for us and completely transformed our 1930s house with a two storey extension comprising kitchen, two bedrooms, shower room and landscaping. A thoroughly professional, highly skilled and friendly team of builders - I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

I can highly recommend Simon Maddocks and his team at Dulwich Construction www.dulwichconstruction.com.

In summary they are responsive, trustworthy, reliable and do an excellent job at a fair price.

In Oct/Nov 2013 they renovated and redecorated our house (Brockley SE4) which involved knocking 3 openings between rooms, installing decking and new under stairs storage, new radiators, new lighting and sockets, replastering, opening 2 fireplaces, installing coving & ceiling roses and repainting.

I prepared a detailed scope of work per room and Simon priced each item so we were clear from the start what the costs would be and how the payment schedule worked. The work came in on time and on budget, with minimal hassle and stress, and Simon kept me informed of progress as we went along. They always cleared up at the end of the day and were a pleasure to have in the house (particularly when supplied with tea and biscuits...). They have come back promptly to sort out a few snags that have cropped up and have been helpful in recommending other tradesmen that we've needed.

One of the biggest draws for us was that as a small business they do all the work themselves and do one job at a time, so you have their full time and focus for the period of work. The downside is that they do get booked up several months in advance, but that's the sign of good builders and they are well worth the wait.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dulwich Construction - we're really glad they did the work for us as the end result is fantastic.

I would like to add to this that Dulwich Construction did our loft conversion this summer and we are really happy with their work. Their price was competitive, their approach was positive and helpful and the work itself is of a great quality. We found that they were also very good at explaining their processes so we understood what was going on and what our options were.

In addition to the loft we asked them to help with other work to the house including installing new windows throughout and they were very accommodating. I also imagined it would be tough to have builders in the house for three months, especially as I am at home with a toddler during the week, but they were lovely to have around and very considerate.
