Reviews from customersacross London

Excellent

Rated 4.7 out of 5

  • Dave

    Used them to find a builder for our rear house extension in Walthamstow. One form, and a contractor rang me the next day. Extension's finished now and the finish on the brickwork is spot on.

  • Sarah

    Needed a loft conversion sorted and hated ringing round. Got matched with a firm that did a dormer conversion on our terraced house in Peckham. Stairs, insulation, plasterboard, the lot. Genuinely decent service.

  • Michael

    Sent an enquiry about a wheelchair accessible bathroom for my mum. The wet room has a level access shower, grab rails and non-slip flooring. She's over the moon.

  • Priya

    Quick process and no hassle. They did our garage conversion into an office. Took a bit longer than quoted but the work is solid.

  • James

    Full renovation on our Victorian flat in Islington. Rewiring, plastering, new kitchen, new bathroom. Wasn't cheap but you get what you pay for.

  • Linda

    Had subsidence and needed underpinning. The firm sorted the foundations and drainage and got a structural engineer involved. Professional from start to finish.

  • Tom

    Side return extension on our house in Battersea with bifold doors and an open-plan kitchen diner. Communication could've been slightly better but the build quality is excellent.

  • Rachel

    Quantity surveying on a commercial fit-out: cost planning, tender documents and interim valuations. Saved us money in the long run.

  • Gary

    Plastering job on our 1930s house in Finchley. Ceilings repaired, walls re-skimmed. Smooth as glass, ready for painting. Tidy workers who cleared up after themselves.

  • Emma

    Silicone render on the front of our house, anthracite grey. Completely transformed the place. Would've liked a couple more quotes to compare but happy with the result.

  • Olu

    Basement conversion on our house in Fulham. Tanking, waterproofing, a light well and new staircase down. They dealt with the building regs side too. Massive amount of extra space now.

  • Karen

    New kitchen fitted by a contractor I found through here. Units, quartz worktops, tiling and appliance connections, all done in a week. Lovely finish.

  • Paul

    Load-bearing wall removed and a steel RSJ installed to open up our living space. Building control signed it off no problem. Straightforward to deal with and fair pricing.

Customers across London have sent us everything from rear extensions and loft conversions to accessible bathrooms and basement conversions. Here is what some of them said afterwards.

Questions people askbefore sending an enquiry

How does Unified Service Works actually work?

You send one short form describing the job. We pass that enquiry to a building contractor who covers your part of London and takes on that type of work, and they contact you to talk it through and price it. There is no obligation at any point.

Do you carry out the building work yourselves?

No. Your enquiry goes to a building contractor in your area who does that type of work, and your arrangement from then on is directly with them.

What does it cost to send an enquiry?

Nothing. You are under no obligation to proceed with whoever contacts you.

Which areas do you cover?

London and the towns around it, out to roughly twenty miles from the centre. The areas page lists them.

What happens to the details I send?

They go to the contractor matched to your job so they can contact you about it, and they are held under the terms set out on the privacy page. They are not sold on as a marketing list.

How soon will I hear back?

That depends on the contractor the enquiry goes to and how busy they are, so we do not promise a time we do not control. Include a phone number and a postcode and you will usually hear sooner.
