Great job done by the Root Guys. Work to a very high standard, they are definitely perfectionists. Easy to deal with, friendly, helpful and good value. There were various elements of extra work due to the age of the property, but these were agreed quickly and easily, often with helpful suggestions on how to maximise the benefits. Would definitely use again!
Root built a 3m x 8m kitchen extension with bifold doors on the back of our house earlier this year and it’s utterly stunning. They employ friendly, hardworking people who were fantastic with our little boy. The work was completed quickly and they were able to start exactly when we wanted them to. They knew our budget and helped us to plan a room we would love but without pushing ourselves too far financially.
I highly recommend them, book them and you won’t regret it – but stock up on good tea/coffee and biscuits, as these guys work bloody hard and deserve it!
We are very pleased with our very new and impressive showroom and in no way would this have been possible without our being introduced to Root and in turn your ability to step up.
In particular we believe a big thank you to the team for their conscientious approach to our project is warranted. Equally, we are both looking forward to the relationship growing between us in many ways in the future.
Sam and his team delivered a significant and complex refurbishment of our Victorian house in Cheltenham. The work ranged from a complete replacement of our heating system, re-wiring throughout the house, insulation of our roof along with the replacement of our Victorian tiled hallway and the creation of a new basement exit.
During the project Sam’s team responded quickly and effectively to changes and upgrades to our requirements in a flexible and creative way – managing several sub-contractors on our behalf throughout the project. The quality of work carried out on our house is of a high standard and we are grateful to Sam and the Root Group for completing the project on time and to our requirements.
As one of the leading firms of Chartered Surveyors in Gloucestershire, we have worked with many construction companies and the professionalism and quality of workmanship provided by Root Construction meets one of various criteria points we look for. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering on time and to the highest standards have been exceptional. The support we receive from the entire Root Group team is exemplary, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration throughout the projects. We would highly recommend Root Construction for their reliability and dedication to excellence.
