Prestige Design and Build / Battersea Builders

Postby Shaftesburymum » Sat Feb 08, 2020 10:01 am

Hello,

I have submitted planning permission for a side return and lift extension for our home, in the Shaftesbury estate.

I’m looking for a reliable building company with a good standard of finish. I’m at work during the day so won’t be able to project manage or check in more than once or twice a week.

Does anyone have any experience with Battersea Builders or Prestige Design and Build who are in Streatham?

Any other recommendations would be welcome too.

Thanks

A bit late but I used Prestige Design and Build in 2019 - stay away from them!

started speaking to them 3 months before i wanted my kitchen re-doing . all the way they were saying 'all ok for the start date'...'no problem'....'will take 5 days to complete'. even the week before they were meant to start they confirmed everything was in place to start

well. the day they were meant to start they didn't, they were meant to start in Tuesday, they will start at the end on Friday. was told someone would be over Saturday to carry on - no one turned up.

For the actual new kitchen build they sub-contracted the job to a contractor who really didn't care about the job.
In the end I started to refer to him as 'That'll do' as that was his entire attitude towards the build. he made a lot of mistakes and had to re-do work. Took no care or pride in his job. drilled through my new wall cabinet.....twice installing the pelmet, and his fix was to stick a bit of plastic over the hole.
Prestige could't care less. I made so many complaints and sent a lot of photo evidence of the shoddy work this guy was doing. all they kept saying was 'pay us when it's done'
was told it would take 5 days......It took 6 weeks because they guy would only turn up once a week. One day he said he'd be there by 10AM, even had the cheek to phone me at 11AM and say I am 20 minutes away - didn't turn up till 3PM and only did an hours work then left.

Prestige made barely any apologies about this guy, saying he has worked with us before and he's always been great which I had a hard time believing. In my view they got the cheapest guy they could get to do the job.

In the end I just had enough and asked them to not bother coming back most of it was done. I did the finishing touches myself. I had to remove the sealing this guy did as it was so lumpy and un-even. I am no where near a professional but I can do a lot better job than that....and I did.

Prestige carried out a loft conversion, refurbishment and rear extension for us and we couldn’t be happier with their work. My wife was 6 months pregnant when the project started and we had purchased a new house, so getting the project finished on time was critical.

From when they first came round to view our house to quote for the work we were impressed. Their attention to detail and willingness to come round for a second time to talk us through the quote and answer any questions really put our mind at ease. They reassured us that the project would run smoothly and finish on time and they wasn’t wrong. As soon as the project started their communication was fantastic. They was on hand day and night (literally!) to answer any questions via WhatsApp and the weekly face-to-face progress meetings, where they updated us on what had happened the previous week and what was planned for the following week, were extremely helpful. Throughout the whole project we knew exactly what was going on and when it was going to happen.

The builders themselves were fantastic. They were extremely courteous, friendly and tidy. They were very conscious that they were working in our home when we moved in during the project and did everything they could to minimise disruption. Above all else, the quality of their work was of the highest standard.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Prestige carried out for us and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. They have just started on two of our neighbours loft conversion and extension projects.
