"Really pleased with the work that Ben and Ian did on our home. They were hardworking, kept us up-to-date and coordinated the other trades."

"Following having several quotes for the work Ben was the only builder who suggested that we could reuse the bricks to ensure the opening matched the existing brickwork. His price was fair and reasonable and was provided in writing. Ben and Ian have done a fantastic job and I am really pleased with their work. We have already discussed the next project. I would not hesitate in recommending them to friends and family."

"Eley Projects did a fantastic job of our kitchen extension. They were organised and tidy throughout the build, and completed it to a very high standard in good time. The guys were friendly, approachable and trustworthy. We would absolutely recommend Eley Projects, and would use them again without a second thought."

"From start to finish of having our garage conversion completed we were very impressed with Ben and his team. We had been let down by one builder but found Ben honest and kept us up to date throughout. The work was completed quickly and well with very little disruption."

"Ben and his team have completed a garage conversion for us, we are really pleased with it. The work has been completed to a really high standard, Ben has a great attention to detail and it shows in the finished work. In a time where many builders will lowball prices, Ben sets a realistic expectation and you can trust that it is genuine value for money. Ben organised the other trades really well too."
