Providing Building and Maintenance throughout the Midlands
Debra Petts - 28/06/2017
Duane Grundy accompanied me on a second viewing of a property I was considering buying. I knew that it needed a lot of work but I wasn't sure of the extent and wanted a builder's view on the work that might be needed. I was very impressed with Duane's professionalism, from my first contact with him. He responded to my request to accompany me, turned up early for the viewing so that we could speak before. He was able to tell me a lot about the property, by looking at the photos from the online listing. He is extremely knowledgeable, with excellent powers of observation. He highlighted several potentially serious problems with the property and gave a clear and honest idea of the work that would be needed. He communicated with clarity and honesty. This has inspired my confidence in his ability and I will certainly use Duane for my future building needs. D. petts
Mr Macdonald - Condensation Problem - 10/07/2015
After suffering a severe condensation problem with the growth of mould on the ceiling and walls, Intex's innovation and implementation of the air conditioning system cleared up all of the problems. Duane fitted the unit within a matter of 2 days and after 12 hours of completion the next morning everything was completely different.
After waking up every morning to condensation on the windows and walls it was a complete suprise to wake up to no moisture or dampness of any kind. After only 2 days of the fans working the house was drying out thoroughly and all walls were drying out nicely. After a very short period of the house drying out i have now been able to re-decorate and make my house look extremely presentable.
Im extremely happy with the end results and would promote Intex to anybody who has similar problems.
Mr and Mrs Sadler
Duane Grundy has done a lot of building work for us. He was recommended to us from a close friend and we are very satisfied. His work is to a high standard, takes care and takes pride in his workmanship. Duane has fitted new radiators for us, repaired a chimney breast, built a new wall, new kitchen and fitted a bow window. We are very delighted with the price that was charged for each job carried out. He is always helpful with ideas and suggestions for improvements.
See the photos from the work we had done!
Mr & Mrs. Clapperton - Kitchen, Bathroom, Loft Conversion and New Fencing
Since buying our bungalow in 2009 we have had a new kitchen and bathroom fitted, a loft conversion and also new fencing. All of these were carried out by Mr. Grundy to a very high standard and we have been really satisfied with his work, so much so that we have had no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family.
Chris Rutherford, March 2012 - Mutiple jobs including Kitchen, Bathroom and Damp Proofing
Duane first did some work for me in January 2004, levelling out and reinforcing a sloping hard standing area to erect a garage. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge, frankness and professional abilities.
Several months later Duane stripped out, redesigned and refitted my bathroom as well as carry out other minor repairs. All visitors have commented how good the work has been, and the quality and craftsmanship shown.
Duane has also refitted my kitchen, blocked up or resited doors and put in replacement windows; damp-proofing has been most successful, as well as roofing and chimney repointing work. Last year he stripped out and moved a staircase to the other side of the reception room, reworked the landing and back bedroom in the space release by the removal of the old stair well. The plastering has always been of the highest standards; cleaning up and making good on completion of tasks has been faultless. Anyone who enters the door comments on the high standard of work.
At no time have I had to recall Duane to rectify problems as a result of his work – there were none. There are times when I wished I had listened more to Duane and taken his advice instead of demanding my own arrangements, such was the soundness of his recommendations. Throughout the 8 years I have known Duane he has always given me sound advice, good ideas and been honest with his assessments. His charges I feel are very fair and reasonable. He has become a good friend, one who I can trust implicitly.
The end result is that I will not ask any other company to work on this house, even if I have to wait a little longer for a time slot for Duane to 'fit the work in'. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, and his membership of the FMB is justly and well deserved.
Raymond and Marilyn Percival - Condensation Problem and Extended Loft
Just a quick email to thank you for a job well done. We have suffered from slight condensation problems since moving here 16 years ago and it gradually got worse. We tried everything to no avail, but since you fitted our ventilation unit we have not had one drop of condensation on our windows.
You have since extended our loft access and fitted a new loft ladder. We would recommend you to anyone, you not only do a good job, you turn up on time, do a full days work and show respect for other people's belongings, always cleaning up after yourself.
We wish your company good luck for the future and should we need any other work doing rest assured you will be the first person we contact.
Kind regards, Raymond and Marilyn Percival
