TD&B designed and built a wrap around single storey kitchen extension, installed a toilet and new bathroom and took out a chimney. We are really pleased with the work and all of the guys that worked on the job, who were friendly and professional throughout and mindful of our neighbours. The different specialists worked seamlessly together from our perspective. Our foreman Marlon in particular was exceptional in pulling the whole thing together and he is brilliantly solution- and customer- focussed. We are very glad we picked TD&B . The contract and quote were very professional and transparent and the only variations were ones we expected or resulted from choices we made. All of the pricing, including variations, was very clear and the accounting speedy. Communication was great throughout. All finished on time too.

We contacted Thames Design & Build to help us with a bathroom renovation. Declan and his team carried out the fitting and we are delighted with the finished bathroom. Everyone working on the renovation was friendly, professional and courteous and Declan was brilliant at communicating updates along the way.

We had a great experience with TDB! We’re 4 years on and still in love with our extension. Rob and the team were so attentive and organised which was great as I was having my first baby at the time of the build but every detail was thought through and well planned!

Highly recommend Thames Design and Build. Just completed my kitchen extension and new patio and whole project was delivered on budget and on time. Rob was a fabulous project lead, the workmen were all lovely and highly skilled and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Thames Design and Build were a friendly, professional and committed company, working to the highest standards. We had a single storey ground floor extension and new veranda. We were delighted with the results and we would have no hesitation in giving a strong recommendation.

TDB designed and built a one storey wrap around extension for us and also refurbished two bathrooms. We were very pleased with quality of the work, which was completed in accordance with the contracted budget (although we did ask for a few extras on top, which meant additional cost). It was also completed in accordance with the agreed timescale with only a small overrun for completion of snagging. The site manager Ryan and his team were unfailingly pleasant and helpful and made a number of suggestions as the work progressed to enhance the original plan. Highly recommended.

Thames Design and Build did a full remodelling of our ground floor. We are delighted with the work Rob and his team have done. I would be happy to recommend them and would definitely use them again. The whole team were professional and friendly. Most importantly they are always contactable to discuss anything relating to the project (even out of hours) and gave good advice throughout.

Ryan and his team were extremely professional and helpful. Everything was kept to agreed timelines and done to a very high standard. No problem was too hard to solve or fix. Could not recommend them more. Dream to work with.

Rob, Ryan and team provided an excellent service from start to finish. The design process was straightforward and build quotes reflecting changes to scope etc. were turned around very efficiently. Rob managed to get the build team started as soon as we took possession of the house and the build itself went extremely smoothly; the team were happy to accommodate changes as we went and everyone was extremely polite and professional. Of particular note was the speed of the build which meant that we were in the house only 5 months after the project started, this was far quicker than others were willing to commit to and reflects the strength of the company's supply chain, all of whom clearly enjoy working with Thames D&B and therefore are prepared to go the extra mile to get things done right first time. Special mention also for Saema who dealt doggedly with the aftercare to ensure that everything got sorted!

We can honestly say that Thames Design & Build offer and give a great service. They were quick to respond with clear and concise quote. Their team arrived on time and kept us up to date with a schedule, timings and variations. Everything is handled by a project manager but all members of the team were polite and more than happy to explain anything. We commissioned them for a rebuild project. Quality of workmanship has been great and any problems quickly resolved. Great customer service, communication and workmanship. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

When we needed to extend our ground floor, redesign the layout of the property, and do a hip-to-gable roof conversion we chose Rob and the team at Thames Design and Build. From the initial architect drawings, to the planning process, costings, project and supplier and specialist management, we were provided with excellent support. Ongoing communications and guidance throughout the project ensured that for our first build we were able to reduce the stress and uncertainty that comes along with such a big life decision. The project was finished on time and to a great spec. We would highly recommend Rob and the team for any home project - big or small.

Rob Allinson and the project team provided an extremely professional service from the drawing board through to completion of the works. The brief was set to provide a design and build solution for our loft that was in-keeping with the Edwardian house, and Thames Design & Build Ltd delivered the project to our exacting requirements. They managed the relationship and process with building control and were very proficient in transitioning design work into a high quality build. The work was completed on programme and to budget. We would have no hesitation in recommending Rob and the team.

Thames Design & Build worked with us on our house renovation to produce the Design Drawings (with layout options) and Technical Drawings for planning and surveyor. Not only were the team incredibly knowledgeable and professional, they were an absolute pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to support us through what was a daunting and potentially stressful experience. Having such a credible team on board with us immediately put as at ease, meaning we could enjoy our exciting project - we knew we were in safe hands with them and they delivered! A huge thank you to Rob and his team!
