Review Platform: Houzz

So building work is fraught with fear, worry, anxiety and stress, but from the get go Plus Rooms impressed us by being able to calm our nerves. From the initial visual plans in our first meeting, to comprehensive schedules, detailed kick off meetings and weekly site visits. The building team became like Rockstars in the house and were amazing with our young kids, as we decided to live in when doing it. Did we have problems we had to overcome, of course, what build doesn’t – but it felt like a true partnership and they were always quick to respond. We also finished bang on time. Plus Rooms were slightly more expensive than others, but because they could give us such clarity from the get go and would project manage the whole thing, that’s why we went with them and I’m glad we did.

We wanted to have an extension built without having to project manage the builders in any way. Found Plus Rooms advert in a local magazine, and checked some reviews on line before going ahead. To be honest, I didn’t get 3 quotes, I just wanted to get the job done, and our initial meeting made me confident that Plus rooms would do a good job. If you want a company with a “Can do” attitude I can confidently recommend them – unexpected problems always occur during building, but it’s the willingness to sort them out which marks the cowboys from the professionals, and the whole team was professional from start to finish. Our least stressful building project ever, from initial meeting, planning, building to completion.

After doing a great deal of research in the area we decided to entrust the the project of extending the kitchen or our Victoria house in South London to Plus Room. The design team guided us on the fist phase of the project and plans were drawn and approved shortly after.  The project manager was super helpful and followed the project attentively, giving attention to finishing details. He even come to the site after hours on the odd occasion in which we needed help locking up the site.  The build team was very agreeable and good at communicating with the kitchen fitters (we used Dulwich Design Kitchens). They also helped us to transfer our wood burner stove to the front room area -this meant opening the chimney breast slightly to fit the stove.  Finally, the finishing team, did a fabulous work with decoration and fitting the split brick and tiles. They interpreted our proposals well and worked late when necessary to finish the project by the agreed date.  The plumber managed to move all of the necessary pipes to fit underfloor heating in the kitchen area (this has helped us to save a lot in energy as well as to enjoy a nice and warm room). The plumber also helped us to fix the drainage of the upstairs bathrooms, he also moved the radiators to a different location and fitted a tap in the front of the house -used for watering plants in hot summer months.  The electrician and his team was also very good. The same goes for other companies recommended by them such as the door and skylight company.  Embarking in this project felt a little bit scary to start with but it is one of the best things we have done for our home. We now spend most of our time in this new shared family area and enjoy the light and sense of space.

Plus Rooms completed a side return kitchen extension for us. It is very much their ‘bread and butter’ and they know exactly what they’re doing. The building team and electrician were great. Very professional and friendly. We had full confidence in the main builder. The build was completed on time and mostly to budget. We did encounter some bumps along the way, but Plus Rooms maintained full communication and offered options to keep the build moving forward. The only weak points were a change to the original quote after the soil survey and the plumbing team, who just weren’t as reliable as the rest of the people involved. We used the additional finishing services, which although very expensive, did mean the whole project was finished quickly and to a high standard. Our friends recommended Plus Rooms to us and we have since recommended them to friends (who have used them). They just know what they’re doing.
