Yarwood recently finished our loft conversion and we are really pleased with the result. We needed a hip to gable and dormer conversion, making it a big project, that we wanted a reliable and trustworthy company to complete. We had to book in around 12 months ahead and took Yarwoods busy schedule as a good sign, and it really was. The customer service, communication throughout, and workmanship are fantastic. Working from home throughout the process could have been stressful but the whole team made it an easy process. From the initial appointment, and the start of the project, when the team took extra care to cover and protect our recently installed driveway, to always responding when needed, and keeping to schedule even when we added some extra work in, we would recommend Yarwood to anyone, and have already talked about using them again for a future project. Thank you to Liam, Jordon and the rest of the team.

Yarwood Construction has recently finished a single storey kitchen extension, plus a full programme of additional works that has transformed the rest of my house, including: new downstairs WC and upstairs bathroom; new boiler and radiators throughout with additional plumbing; first rate replastering of the lounge, hall, stairs, and landing; new internal oak doors and an eye catching renovated traditional staircase. I am so pleased that I chose this first rate company lead by Liam and Jordon Yarwood, together with their highly experienced and skilled trades/professionals. Before the work started I had a 'minds eye' view of how the finished article might look, but only a very limited understanding of how this might be achieved. When Liam Yarwood first visited my home to quote for the work he answered many of my questions/concerns through being both personable and highly professional. A brochure overview about Yarwood Construction followed: including a helpful breakdown of the full build process of the extension, the milestones/payment points, with a supplementary section on options for the renovation programme, and T & C, etc. I went through the due process of having a number of quotes from other companies but the emphasis on the quality of the work and customer experience by Liam made an important decision easier. I decided to live in the house throughout the project. Liam made sure that I had a functioning kitchen for as long as possible, and also plenty of advance warning when the 'messy' bits of the build would take place. Jimmy, Josh and Gaz (and Lewis, Reece, Dave, when they were needed) were a pleasure to have around. I found them all to be hard working, very skilled and approachable. The crew routinely arrived early, and left the site clean and tidy. Photos of each days progress were sent by them to Liam on WhatsApp. I also received daily Whatsapp and/or phone calls from Liam on a dedicated group which included myself, Liam and Jordon. I was always kept updated regarding the progress of the work, as well as advance notice of significant events in relation to the timescales of the project e.g. deliveries, site visits, the placement of the steel lintels., etc. I could also ask questions via text on WhatsApp, or telephone Liam and speak with him, with meetings in the early stages if and when needed. I found the flow of communication/information, the clear support (at all stages of the project) extremely helpful. While Liam was away on holiday Jordon took over this responsibility while continuing with his own work, a reflection of how closely the managerial leads work together even if I wasn't aware of it in the early stages of the project. Any issues that arose throughout the project, whether it was building related or renovation-related, were dealt with promptly by Liam and Jordon. They approach any issue as a problem that can be solved, with a clear plan of action devised and explained to me, with timescales for its resolution, and by whom. This was a standout positve aspect, among many, as to how Yarwood Construction goes about its business. During the renovation side of the project Jordon also spent quite some time kindly offering several suggestions/information regarding the choice of materials or finishes. They were excellent suggestions that the project has benefitted from, and I see the value of them everyday in the finished project. Its not possible to list all the skilled trades and profesionals working with Yarwood Construction but a big thank you to: Jimmy and John who took care of all the plumbing and heating jobs; I don't think I will ever forget watching John and Matt replastering my front room - those clean straight lines that I now admire every day!; Further on in the renovation process John (The Door Master) replaced all of the internal doors, and transformed my stairs into a thing of beauty; Simon produced wonderful tiling jobs in my new bathroom, and downstairs WC. I am delighted with my 'new' home and highly recommend Yarwood Construction.

When we decided we wanted an Dorma extension we had a few builders round to give us quotes but as soon as we spoke to Liam we knew Yarwoods was the one. We had to wait 12 months but it was definitely worth it. From start to finish the whole project Liam and the team talked us through each step and whats next on the plans. Even helping through the planning with local authorities and surveyor’s which was a massive help as we hadn’t done this before. Jordan and the team did an excellent job in keeping the disruptions down to a minimum while the building work was carried out from dealing with delivery’s to dealing with us changing things here and there. No job was too big or small. To even cleaning the workspace after everyday which was a massive plus. The end result is beyond what we thought and we as a family are over the moon! We would definitely use Yardwoods again and recommend them to everyone! Couldn’t ask for a nicer set of lads.

Yarwood worked on our first floor extension to build a new bedroom and ensuite above the garage, and we'd highly recommend and use them again. Liam and Jordan were hands on throughout managing the project, and all the team were very skilled, helpful and kept the site clean and tidy. Great attention to detail, the matching of new and existing brick is so close! Invoicing was clear and to budget. Thanks to all at Yarwood!

We hired Stalybridge Handyman & Painter to paint our daughter’s and son’s bedrooms. The painting crew from the company came on time and provided us with the best service we could ask for. Our kids were as well very happy with how their new bedrooms look like.

Something is wrong with our wall so I started calling Stalybridge Handyman & Painter for a repainting service. The painter was very punctual and changed the colors of our wall. It looks brighter as ever. So impressive!

A battered old porch needed some major TLC. Dan and Ben not only made it look brand new but painted it beautifully too. No worries about dodgy builders with these guys! They were hardworking and great fun. No mess at all. Costs were very fair for a terrific service. Would approach them for any further jobs in the future. Many thanks.

Had a new kitchen fitted and plastering done to walls. Service from Level Best was first class from beginning to end. Every aspect of work carried out to perfection, plumber and electrician visits co-ordinated effectively, achieving smooth running and the place was tidied up as much as possible each day. Also, Dan's expertise on what accessories to buy was invaluable. Price was very fair.
