Nick did a fantastic job repairing a nasty hole in my ceiling that was a result of water damage from a leak in the flat above. He painted the whole back wall and ceiling of the kitchen also, and also filled in some uneven surfaces which was kind of him. Very reliable and trustworthy. Nick also has to be the tidiest worker ever - not a trace of him being there at all!! Thanks so much! Tola

Nick came to our workplace to take out the old bath and install a new shower. He also carried out tiling, decorating ad fixing up a few bit and bobs. It was a pleasure having him here. The work is great. I would highly recommend him to anyone out there looking for a trust worthy tradesman, working at a high standard and for a reasonable price. Cheers, Jenni

This company has totally changed my view of builders. They did a fantastic job, transforming my bathroom into a beautiful bright and modern space. They were efficient and polite, even cleaning up at the end of each day. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Nick and his team recently finished a project in our house - knocking through a downstairs bathroom and toilet to open up the kitchen and installing a new shower room downstairs and then rearranging the space upstairs to create a bedroom, small office area and bathroom. From start to finish Nick was fantastic. When he came round to give us a quote he was friendly and helpful and his quote was really competitive. We have three young children and from the beginning Nick was thoughtful and understanding. The whole team were friendly and professional and they all worked hard to complete the job which was done to a very high standard. And Nick was always ready and willing to deal with any problems that cropped up along the way. We will definitely be using Blackthorne Building Contractors again and would recommend them to anyone. We've now got a fantastic new house which we love and all without too much stress - thanks Nick!

We recently hired Nick and his team to construct an extra bedroom within our open plan flat. Though we had found his website online and not through a recommendation, we were really pleased with the results and found Nick and his team to be both friendly and efficient - so much so that we would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Nick and his team were employed to install a new bathroom. Everything about this team was excellent. The workmanship, the cleanliness and very trustworthy. This is the second time I have used Blackthorne builders and will continue to ask for his services when I'm looking for any type of building or DIY job. No task seems too large or small. I would recommend this team to anyone.

Some things in life are essential and Finding a tradesman you can trust is one of those essentials. With "Blackthorne" I found a company that were punctual, true to their quotes, proffesional, and above all providers of quality work. I needed some lighting sorted out and after varied ranging explainations and quotes, Blackthorne arrived to give a thorough evaluation of the problem. They complted the work on time and true to their quote. I will definately be using them again.

Thanks to Nick and his team we now have a new office space and an extra spare bedroom. Nick was very straightforward and professional to deal with, but also went the 'extra mile' to offer advice and to produce a custom-made oak threshold for us. We would have no hesitation in employing Nick again or in recommending him to others.

Nick and his team have been brilliant at making my bathroom into a little speical haven. It was not an easy job with fancy mosiacs and pipework that was leaky and installed by other builders but the quality of the tiling by Warren and suggestions to change my floor choice were all spot on. Best thing from my perspective is how Nick manages your expectations about when the team will turn up and he calls you through out the build to say what is going on. All done with good humour and professional! So good - they will be hopefully building my kitchen extension.

We found Nick through the problemsolved website and we are extremely happy with the service he provided. Nick completely refurbished our bathroom and both he and is team were extremely reliable, honest and professional at all times. It was refreshing to have someone straight up who does what he says he is going to do so to this end I would highly recommend Nick and the Blackthorne team. In fact he is hopefully going to install our new kitchen on the back of this! Jeff Hardie, Tufnell Park, London N19

Blackthorne Building fitted a new bathroom whilst also accommodating structural changes to the layout of the property. The work by Nick and the sub-contractors was carried out to a high standard and any required changes due to limitations in the building were discussed in advance. There were also a number of suggestions that we were able to take on board to enhance both the look and the performance of the bathroom. We were more than happy to leave keys with Nick for access which made things a lot easier. In addition Nick was able to sort out a few ad-hoc problems, namely clearing a blocked drain that was due to be inspected and arranging for doors to be hung elsewhere in the property. I would certainly recommend Nick as the standard of work was high and the cost was more than competitive.

We employed Nick and his team for a refurbishment of the whole ground floor of our house. This included building work in the kitchen to knock through a utility room and back wall to open up the kitchen and allow folding glass doors. Firstly Nick's quote was competitive and he also offered a lot of practical advice, which was very helpful for a couple not very experienced with building work. All the people Nick employs were unfailingly polite, friendly and helpful and I was more than happy for any or all of them to be in the house unsupervised. They all made a big effort to leave the house tidy at the end of the day and made every attempt to keep disruption to a minimum. Nick was always contactable to discuss progress, either at the house or on the phone, and there were no hidden costs or surprises at the end. We are very happy with the quality of the work - the house looks great - and I would have no hesitation in recommending Nick to anyone considering having building work done.

This company was recommended to me by a neighbour as I had been badly treated by "cowboys" in the past. I had a new kitchen fitted and the company owner, Nick, oversees everything that is done. They all turned up on time, left the room very clean each day. The cost was very competitive and as the area was awkward, the carpenter fitted all the cupboards. Everyone has complimented me on the finished room. I am now getting them to do a loft conversion for me. I am an elderly lady who has been ripped off in the past and cannot praise Nick and his workmen enough. They say they do everything from the front gate to the back one. High quality and reasonable prices. Perhaps I shouldn't recommend them as I might have to wait for future work to be done! They are listed in the Evening Standard Recommended Tradesmen site. They can supply references from satisfied customers if required. They are one company you will not see on Rogue Traders!

I, too, have had work done by this company, they completely refurbished my kitchen. I, of course, wanted the impossible but Nick was very patient and made suggestions which enabled me to have the work done as close to my dreams as possible. The finish is beautiful and the carpenter made me bespoke units as the measurements were odd.

A great company to deal with. Lots of tactful advice and design suggestions but always do what you want. They are a really nice team of guys; trustworthy, generous and communicative. Their standard of work and attention to detail is excellent and they keep the site tidy and safe. I highly recommend them.

I'm want everyone to know my my positive experience with Blackthorne Building. "We all know how hard it is to find 'Good Builders'.

Excellent workmanship ( Bathroom & Cloakroom looks Fantastic) Reliable (always on time and communicated any delays) Honest ( Left house keys with Nick ) Approachable ( really friendly and shared ideas) Clean (hovered daily before leaving - (Nick promised to do the ironing - still waiting!)
