Report
Tim Day Construction completed a ground floor extension to our house and installed a new kitchen and utility room. Having heard various nightmare stories from friends about their building projects with different builders, I was nervous about getting our extension done. I neednt have worried Tim Day Construction were extremely reliable and provided good communication throughout the project. The work was completed to a high quality and we are absolutely delighted with the result. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.
