All Build 1 have recently renovated my house, can't fault their work its amazing! Couldn't recommend enough! So professional and friendly, thanks again guys :

We couldn't be happier with our new loft conversion. Not only is the work superb, but Louis is extremely professional and easy to work with, mindful of cost and has a great team around him. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.

We used a highly recommended firm all build one represented my Mr. L.Ball for a total reconfiguration and refurb of our new detached family home in Hertfordshire. He was by far the friendliest professional builder that quoted us with a very fair price and me and my wife immediately chose him over 9 other companies and builders. He started the work within 48 hours of our agreement and was a perfectionist through out the project.

He kept his word and timings of the project fully whilst going out of his way to find us materials and other trusted traders. In the end not only we finished the whole construction on time and budget with his help and advise we finished all the final decore and finishes at the same time and our entire refurb of a 5 bedroom house was done and dusted in 11 weeks and ready for Christmas. We can't thank him enough and we remain in close contact for other future projects. Thank you very much Mr Loui Ball you are much appreciated and thank you for building our house.
