Garage Conversions
Very unsatisfactory, the project has been left unfinished. I currently have no access where once I had, the electrics I once had to the garden have been knocked out including to all outbuildings. The site was left untidy and the side access is incomplete. Patrick O’ Malley received over 60% of the quote in cash although was rarely working on site and the ordering of materials was often not done which has lengthened the time men were on site. The plasterers have, however, done an excellent job with which I am very pleased. Would I rate this company Lignum build ltd - No. the rating field is a requirement so I’ve had to put a star although I would not give a star More...

What can I say in response? Ms Langton has been changing plans since day 1. From questioning and trying to undermine the knowledge of the local building authority. Wanting to save money and reduce costs whilst demanding the most expensive materials were used. Changing location of kitchen and bathroom after 1st fix and post plastering and shocked this carried additional costs! I decided until the additional materials and labour costs were agreed in writing to concentrate on other projects. To any prospective clients I can offer a wealth of positive reviews from satisfied clients. Regarding Ms Langton I am sure there are a number of people with their own opinions of her.
