Why Avalon

Seven reasons why you should choose Avalon as your builder

Your home is in safe hands with Avalon because we:

  • guarantee all our work – not just once, but twice
  • only employ builders who are experienced and NVQ qualified
  • are members of 6 professional bodies
  • have many recommendations from our previous clients
  • provide realistic quotes
  • professionally manage & insure our projects and communicate regularly
  • comply with all the planning, building and safety regulations.

You will have heard about the problems caused by cowboy builders – the delays, the poor standard of workmanship and the sky-rocketing prices.  Perhaps you have even experienced them yourself.

But you can be sure that Avalon is different.  Here’s why.

 

Two guarantees of our quality

avalon_guaranteeWe guarantee all our work for 12 months.   If you find any defect, we will fix it without charge.

If you sell your house within a year of the project, our guarantee will pass to the new owner.



CPG_-_smallConsumer Protection Guarantee - Your Extra Security


You are also protected by the Consumer Protection Guarantee scheme (CPG) run by Tradesmen Connect in conjunction with Goldcrest Chartered Surveyors, regulated by RICS.


Your money will be held by the scheme during the project.  The CPG administrators will only pass your payment to us when you have confirmed that you are satisfied with our work.

Experienced, qualified builders

All our builders have NVQ qualifications in their trade and many years of experience.

Every year, we plan training programmes for our builders so that they can develop their skills.

 

Professionally-recognised company

Avalon is a member of six professional bodies, including The Guild of Master Craftsmen and The National Trade Register.

We had to provide references from clients and submit evidence of our work, qualifications, policies and insurance to earn these memberships.

 

Recommended by our previous clients

Our clients enthusiastically recommend our services to their family and friends.

They have also given us approval ratings of over 97% on Checkatrade, Constructionline and Tradesmen Connect.

 

Realistic quotes that you can rely on

100% of our jobs are finished on time and on budget – as specified in the original project plan.
We will examine your property thoroughly and plan our estimate carefully. That’s how we can be sure of our final price.

If we discover additional problems after we begin work (e.g. corroded pipes in your old bathroom), we will quote you a fair price.

 

Professional project management with regular communications and insurance

Your project will be run by our Project Manager. He will co-ordinate the work of the builders and craftsmen.

Throughout the project, he will keep you fully informed.  If you have any questions, he will respond quickly.

Our public and employer’s liability insurance will cover our work.  For projects worth more than £250,000, we will take out additional insurance that is tailored to the specific conditions.

Compliance with planning, building and safety regulations

Our work always meets all the planning, building and safety regulations.  We understand the regulations and know how to work with planners and buildings regulations officers.
When you come to sell your house, you can feel confident that our work will pass your buyer’s survey.
