Jak and Connor did a great job understanding what I wanted from a full kitchen rewire and other electrical works and Jake was able to help sort out a plumbing issue logically and with minimal fuss. Communication has been very good throughout which has really helped my planning. I

Amazing Service Fitting Wooden Loft Ladders

What an amazing company with such an accommodating team. I had wooden loft ladders fitted four years ago and have been so pleased with them. They are of such good quality, and look as good as the day I had them fitted. Tough and durable, but looking bespoke in their finish, I am still so pleased that I had them fitted. The team member who fitted them was informative and

Great Service Repointing Brickwork

When we moved into our old cottage a few months ago it urgently needed the brickwork repointing. Foundations Up found space to fit us in and Ricky did a fantastic job. He was sensitive to the building, carefully considering where it would be best to repair the old lime mortar and where it would be best to leave the cement from a 70s renovation and prevent damaging the old bricks.

All round lovely bunch of lads who

Extension Completed and Result is Amazingly Good

Foundations Up have recently completed an extension on my house and the result is amazingly good.

We were given a time frame which they stuck to, so that once the job was started the team was here almost every day until it was finished. Any problems that were encountered along the way
