Fantastic! Cant recommend highly enough, nor wait for further assistance on our renovation project from Ross. We required lintel replacement, brickwork to be reinstated and repaired, joist replacement and original beams to be knitted into main gable end wall to support the upper floor in a Georgian cottage. The quote we had from Tetlow Construction was transparent, with a thorough breakdown and clear view of very reasonable costs. Ross carried out the work efficiently and to a high standard.

Report
My tired looking wooden floor was restored by Tetlow Construction. Ross Tetlow worked hard and proficiently and though I had expected there to be lots of dust I was very pleasantly surprised to find every surface had been cleaned thoroughly. Tetlow Construction also replaced my integrated fridge and this necessitated installing new doors which were in keeping with my bespoke fitted kitchen. Ross Tetlow spent a lot of time researching different options for me and I am so delighted with the finished effect. I can recommend Tetlow Construction for reliability, professionalism, quality of work and

When I asked Tetlow Construction to build an extension on my house, they were brilliant from start to finish. The work was all done to a very high standard, and there was no mess during the work, nor any left behind afterwards. And the price was right too! Mark Birkett, Rochdale
