All Build Developments Reviews 3

ALL BUILD Developments have transformed the exterior of my property. A very professional team. Adam and Tom did a great jog moving a small walled garden to a different location and, along with Connor, replacing the empty space with a brick-laid drive. Adam and Tom also did a grand job relaying my patio and path. All very curteous, friendly and ready to discuss alternatives where these were possible.
Frank and James have also done a great job laying the bases of my balcony.
Joe masterminded the whole project very well.
All of them have a great work ethic.

All Build Developments
I can wholly recommend this company, Joe who runs the company was a great project manager from start to finish. He was courteous, friendly, and patient. He came to visit us after discussions by phone and follow up emails to check everything had been planned properly. He arranged his own team’s work and appointed external Electricians and Plumbers. Both of these companies were also excellent, the electricians -MD Johnson Electricals came ‘en masse’ to get the job done quickly. The plumber - Jacob from Fine Heat Ltd was excellent, he had a great ‘can do’ attitude, I was really impressed with his problem-solving skills. Joe is an excellent project manager and appointed good specialist trades.
I had an old ramshackle brick shed with nothing in it, Joe’s team turned it into a pottery studio with its own electric supply, toilet and sink too. I’m really pleased with the finish. They replaced the roof, windows and doors and repointed the brickwork on the entire building. They also built me a new patio, I was again really impressed with Billy, he dug up the old uneven concrete, laid the hardstanding, fitted new drainpipes and laid the patio and covered the old step to our back door. The rest of the team all worked cohesively to complete all the tasks, Ryan acted as a deputy manager for Joe on site and he was an excellent worker and communicator. As with all building work, sometimes there are a few unforeseen issues that can arise but these were all tackled brilliantly. The whole team were friendly, polite and cheerful. Joe’s team can do all aspects of building work.
The price I paid was reasonable for all the work I had done, All Build Developments were not the cheapest company but were far cheaper than some others who quoted. The price quoted and invoiced were what I paid, no hidden extras were added. Great service overall, very happy indeed.

I employed All Build Developments Ltd to complete the construction of a new build house. We agreed a contract price & payment structure & at the start it went well with weekly meetings & an updated schedule of completed work with each invoice.

But the site was a total mess throughout the build and I realised work was not being managed. Every area was unfinished eg 1 ensuite had no lighting & 2 of 3 identical bathrooms had wrong sized doors which hit the towel rail.

By early 2022 work had stopped despite having paid all of the stage payment invoices in good faith. When I reconciled the account I had actually overpaid the full contract price for a finished contract. They raised another invoice for £10K without any detail and when I queried it, they sent it to a debt collector despite the main contract being fully paid yet unfinished. I cannot live in the house yet.

In April 2022 All Build Developments returned to site and fly-tipped it with rubbish. They entered the house and stripped out the plant room of all plumbing infrastructure, cut all the wires to the fuse board, removed all the skirting boards and door architraves, removed the ceiling spotlights, removed all the chrom socket and light switch face plates, defecated in the master ensuite toilet knowing it didn't flush and vandalised my antique bath with a screwdriver.

This company are the worst example of rogue traders. Legal action and police involvement is now underway. Avoid at all costs.
