We were recommended Hodgsons and Sons by a neighbour and used them for a massive loft conversion, full design and build with no regrets, they were great! We even added on a lot of extras along the way: painting outside our house, replacing fascias, redecorating bedrooms, chimney repairs. Aaron, Rory, Sofia, Ellen and team were great to work with. Of course we had some hiccups along the way, over a 14 week period of works, but they were always quick to address and resolve anything we asked. All the subcontractors were lovely and we were able to communicate with everyone directly through a WhatsApp group which made everything a lot more straightforward for us. They took great care to leave the job in perfect condition, making good on all snagging and cleaning. We're really pleased with the output of all the works. We would definitely use Hodgsons again if we have any further building works and would recommend them to friends and family.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hodgson Construction completed a huge extension project for us. From the moment Aaron came round to discuss the plans, we felt like we could trust them, and that trust was never misplaced. For the entire, long project, Aaron and his team were constantly in touch, always available, always following up, always telling us what the plans were and when we could expect what to happen. The WhatsApp group, with all the workers on it, is such an obviously good idea that it baffles me why other companies or tradesmen don't do it. It was incredibly useful the entire time. The photos attached show the main extension kitchen-diner; but we also had the garage converted into a study, utility room and library. At the end of the project, we have exactly what we wanted and a little bit more. There were no unexpected costs and no unnecessary delays. Any problems were addressed quickly, the work was completed to a high standard in all regards, and Aaron gave us extra things in a couple of cases where he felt the work was needed to finish to a standard he was happy with. It is genuinely such a wonderful feeling that we've found a company and operator that we trust so much. We are incredibly happy with the overall result and the service we received. Our house is spectacular! I would not hesitate to recommend them for any work and I will be going back to them for literally anything I still need doing!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In summer of 2023, Hodgsons constructed a dormer extension to our (already converted) loft (including adding in a new bathroom). We were very satisfied with their work and love the new space. Would certainly use them for future projects. A few key points: - Clear and transparent in the quote process and responsive in answering any queries - High quality workmanship throughout the project - As unobtrusive as possible, and always friendly, reliable and punctual - Reasonably priced work and no hidden/unexpected costs - Consulted with us where appropriate to ensure we were happy - Reassured us around any concerns (e.g. in relation to parking) - Only slight improvement point was that it could have been clearer upfront who was responsible for acquiring items required for the project and when, in order to avoid delays - Overall good communication, using a Whatsapp group, with photos and videos throughout the project - Even after the final bill was paid they were quick in resolving a small change required from building control - Aaron and the team were great, and would certainly recommend them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a pleasant experience working with Aaron and his team. He literally took the stress out of the building process. He was very transparent about the process and his prices and great at communicating so we always knew where we stood. And if any problems arose, even if it was nothing to do with his team’s work, he was on the case with solving the problem. He has a really good eye for detail, gave us great design advice and made sure the work was finished to a high standard. We’re really pleased with the results and I’ve already recommended Aaron to all of my friends and family and trust that they would have a similar experience.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had some vague ideas about what we wanted, Hodgson made this a reality. We have a great new porch which is a key feature of the house, to a very high build quality. It was delivered to an agreed time frame by a very proficient team to an agreed budget. We are very happy.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to do a rear single story extension and met with several construction firms. We chose Hodgson Construction as after meeting Aaron, we knew we were in safe hands. Major renovations to your house is a daunting process but with Hodgson Construction, we had weekly project management meetings to keep the project on track, discuss upcoming decisions and talk through any concerns we had. The team were incredibly friendly and lovely to work with but also very hard working. They were respectful of our house and our neighbors and went out of their way to make living through the renovation as easy as possible. Communication is absolutely essential for a project on this scale and any time we had questions, Aaron and his team made the time to talk to us. Nearing the end of the project, Hodgson Construction ensured we were happy with all the finishes, final touches and the clean-up. We are now left with a beautiful house with an incredible space. Should we ever need any more major renovations, we will definitely use Hodgson Construction.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hodgson Construction's roofing team done a great job in replacing our Victorian house's roof slates and changing flat roof to back. The roof's were replaced in the time period given by Aaron and also to the quote given at start. Highly recommended.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 star Service. From my 1st phone call to ask about their service and Charlie came to check/provide estimate to the work at the end, I had pleasant experience. My roof needed a repair job after a new boiler put in, team from Hodgson did a good job. I recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Please could you be more considerate? On site with loud machinery from 7.30am 6 days a week giving no consideration to neighbours and my 2 year old has to listen to them swearing all day whilst playing in our garden.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to have a side rear and first floor extension to be done. We met many different building companies and decided eventually to go ahead with Hodgson Construction. We met Aaron the Director of the company during the second meeting. He approached the project with such great enthusiasm, energy, knowledge, fair pricing that we had to choose them. We had from the beginning the feeling of them all being very caring and Aaron really wanted to do this project. He estimated the works to be completed within 14 weeks. They managed to do it in 15 weeks. Bearing in mind, there was Covid, Brexit, fuel shortage in-between and supply shortages started to kick in. However, Hodgson Construction made it happen without any issues. Hodgson Construction made it possible for us to remain living inside. This can be quite a stressful time. However, the amazing and unique positive energy each and one of their crew member had, is something you won’t find very often. Everyone is extremely accommodating and professional. The most common answers you will get from them, "It's not a problem", "We get it done”. This is something you can just hope for once you have gone into the relationship with any building company. Every crew member has been extremely polite, charming, hilariously funny and just a delight to be around with. We developed our project a little bit here and there throughout the extension being build, as everyone had his own ideas how to do things a little bit better. We have had no regrets or whatsoever to take on the ideas and suggestions. Someone might be able to get the overall project a bit cheaper, but this will reflect in quality. Hodgson pricing overall has bene extremely fair. We didn't have any disagreements about payments. The aftercare has been fantastic and also spot on. After the extension was finished we had a few more visits from Hodgson Construction as they wanted us to be 100% satisfied. And again, nothing was a bother or tuned into extra additional costs. As much as we wanted the project to be finished, we actually missed the guys once they had the works finished and left the side. So much so that we will host a summer barbecue for the entire team as thank you. Our quality of life has completely transformed, because we found such an amazing company. We will be most grateful for the rest of our lives and won't forget what each and one of them has done for us. We would always work with Hodgson Construction on any other project again. A special big fat thanks goes to: Aaron, Charlie, Sofia, Lee, Adam, Dave, H, Mick, Ray, Kieran, Jake, Mark, Shane, Rob and Steve (please accept my apologies if I forgot someone on the list). Aaron & Hodgson team, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you all and thank you so much for everything you have done for us!
