I have been using the services of Acute Homes for over fifteen years and do not look anywhere else when I need work carried out on my home. They have completed a number of smaller jobs in my previous properties, right the way through to a major redesign, which encompassed a single and double storey extension, demolition of adjoining garage and the construction of a new garage. As well as this, they completely renovated the interior of the house from everything you could think of i.e. plastering, new kitchen, new bathroom, new flooring/skirting boards and doors etc... I can say that their work

Acute Homes have completed a number of projects for me over the past 10 years. They have never failed to deliver to the highest standard and have always been completely transparent with costs and timelines. Every single person I have recommended them to have also been extremely pleased. This is a rarity in the building trade, trust me! I know how hard it is to find a good, reliable builder. Acute Homes are exactly that.
