Reviews of A.P Berrystone Building Contractors
T. T.
We have just come to the end of the project to turn our house into our dream home in which Adrian not only built us a beautiful single story extension with roof lanterns and large bifold door that extends our previously small kitchen into a gorgeous open plan living area, but also went the extra mile to rework our unusable sloped back garden into a beautiful space where we can't wait to spend our Summer evenings.
We obtained a number of competitive quotes for the project, but our final decision was made on the basis that Adrian was the only one who showed a true interest and enthusiasm for the project and he understood exactly what was needed from the moment he saw the plans. He quoted a fixed price which was professionally presented with a detailed breakdown of the work to be done.
Despite unexpected issues with the ground at the start of the project where the building inspector insisted that the footings be increased to two and a half times the depth proposed by the architect, the inevitable problems with materials supply because of Covid and the wettest Summer that I can remember, Adrian always found a way to minimize the effect on the overall project schedule and cost without compromising on his vision and philosophy that the work should always be done to the highest quality. Adrian has an eye for detail and will not let anything including even the smallest finishing touches slip past. Adrian takes pride in his communication with clients and we can see why, we were kept fully informed throughout the build with most questions answered within minutes.
His team of tradesmen were a joy to have on our property. Their work was always of the highest standard, combined with punctually and a friendly politeness you could not ask for more. They would cleanup the site daily to minimize the stress of such a large project on both us and our neighbors.
The quality of the extension has exceeded our expectations and we would recommend Adrian's work without hesitation. Thank you Adrian for restoring our faith in builders!

We used Adrian Berrystone and his contractors for the refurbishment of a 1970s-era house in Swindon, Wilts. The initial plan called for a full refurbishment: New kitchen, new bathrooms, new heating, new lighting, new electrics, new windows & doors as well as a garage conversion and moving a stairwell.
During the early stages of work some major structural issues were uncovered. Adrian not only did not drop us as a client because the job ballooned to several times the expected size, but he was also utterly unfazed by the scale of the changes required. These included a new roof, demolition and reconstruction of the majority of the upper floor, re-routing of two sewer lines, damp prevention and the fixing of numerous structural issues with the building.
The job went for four months to over a year, involved multiple steel beams , gabion ground works, a septic tank, damp-proof membranes, re-routing gas and electric mains and, at one point, four storeys of scaffolding - all on a difficult site over multiple levels and with narrow access.
Adrian and his team are 100% committed to their customer, the standard of their work is impeccable, the competency of their building skills and the quality of the workmanship is the best I've ever seen.
My wife and I now have a house that we absolutely adore, a house that is solid, warm, watertight and secure. We have had a a brutal journey getting this house finished, but Adrian has been supportive, determined and as passionate about the finished project as we were.
I cannot recommend AP Berrystone enough. If there were more stars available I would add them. If you have any building projects, you should definitely look to employ them.

We have just used Adrian Berrystone to build our second 2 story extension having used him previously about 15 years ago on another project.
This second project is now complete and Wow !! Adrian did not disappoint!!
Adrian was exemplary - Right from the quote though to completion of the project keeping us totally informed, he kept to schedule ensuing all works were completed to a very high standard using top quality materials and trade persons and importantly sticking to his price with no hidden extras. Adrian's team always respected our house and the site was kept very tidy, even a number of neighbours commented on the tidiness and the speed in which this large project was completed - like a military operation.
In conclusion we would have no hesitation recommending Adrian Berrystone and his team to carry out works on your property.

Professional, reliable, trustworthy! If you are looking for the these in a builder, then Adrian Berrystone is your man. From the initial meeting to the end result, Adrian and those he works with have been fantastic. Despite our project having setbacks, solutions were explained and discussed so that we have ended up with exactly what we wanted for our home.
Communication was thorough throughout the job and the whole team are polite and friendly. Our neighbours were impressed with this and also commented on how clean and tidy the work areas were left each day.
We have no hesitation in recommending Adrian.
If you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable builder who can adapt flexible approaches to achieve a stylish end product, give him a call!
C. S.
Always difficult choosing the right people to work on your home. We are very glad we chose Adrian and his team. He’s converted an old annexed ‘shed’ at our cottage to a beautiful en-suite room for guests to stay. Adrian’s planning and communication throughout was second to none, we were kept informed all through the 10week project, every person Adrian brought on site (whether they worked for APB or sub contractors) were thoroughly lovely, polite, respectful guys. A pleasure to have around. Most importantly, we love the finished product. Thanks to you Adrian and the whole team.
B. G.
We are delighted with our garage conversion. The work was completed within the given time period despite coming across a major drainage issue and having to undergo extra work in order to pass inspection. Adrian was very professional and communicated all the time. Each day the site was left tidy. All the other trades that were brought in worked to his high standard. He has a vision of the completed project and I was very pleased to have been given suggestions as to finishing touches. I was always told of any tasks I had to undertake with plenty of notice, nothing was left to chance. Would definitely recommend this company.
M. J.
I had heard of Adrian’s reputation for being the best builder in Swindon and have not been disappointed. Adrian and his team completed a large double garage with mezzanine for me. I am over the moon with the result and the whole process has been stress free and we have really enjoyed watching it come out of the ground.
A. k.
If you need work done on your house, AP BERRYSTONE is the place to go. There isn’t anyone as friendly, professional, helpful and skilled as Adrian and his team. Would highly reccomend to anyone.
R. R.
Adrian is a visionary. From our first meeting with him, where he saw the architects plans, he knew exactly how our one storey extension should look, even before the first brick was laid.
Even through all the setbacks, none of which were caused by Adrian, he never wavered from his vision of the finished build and the results are outstanding.
Adrian was regularly on-site to both oversee the work and to keep us informed every step of the way. His level of communication is everything you could wish for, even to the point of updates while he was away on holiday!
Everyone who works for Adrian is at the top of their game and very punctual and you quickly get the feeling that Adrian will not accept anything but their best work.
Certain elements of the project were extremely challenging, and Adrian and his team dealt with everything with unfaltering professionalism.
During the entire project, Adrian and his team kept the whole site spotlessly clean. Even our neighbours commented on how tidy everything was kept and how little disruption there was to everyone in the street.
We would not hesitate for one second to recommend Adrian Berrystone for all your building projects.

We’re delighted with the work carried out to our bungalow by Adrian and his team. The work was very extensive.and we are very pleased with the high quality results. Adrian explained the process & steps well providing us with sound advice when needed. The whole team work extremely hard and very efficiently. We couldn't fault their professionalism. worked We’d certainly recommend Berrystone Building Contractors to anyone.

I have worked with A.P. Berrystone Building Contractors for many years and they are one of the most highly skilled and professional builders that I am fortunate to work with.
Their sites are very efficient, kept clean and tidy. Projects are completed in a timely fashion and if delays occur due to supplier issues or unforeseen circumstances these can usually be minimised via a combination of the extensive knowledge Adrian has amassed during his career and the many professional contacts in the trade which he can call upon.
They are able to take on projects of all sizes and one thing that never changes irrelevant of the project size is the high standard of work and attention to detail paid to each one.
All projects are documented extensively from start to finish offering full transparency and peace of mind.
L. J.
“If you want a talented, professional, reliable and extremely tidy building company then Adrian and his team should be your first choice.
At every stage of my build -1st floor extension over integral garage- Adrian was clear, supportive and his attention to detail is impeccable, there is nothing that you can think of that Adrian hasn’t thought of first! Believe me when I say I have high standards and expectations, but Adrian and his team have excelled every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend using AP Berrystone, just hand over your approved plans, place your trust in Adrian and his team, and they will deliver your dream to you! 100% recommended no question.”
G. V.
We are just coming to the end of our big renovation project (originally 6 months). Although unexpected problems were uncovered from the outset which expanded the scope, Adrian has been very caring that the outcome should be the best it could possibly be. He pays great attention to detail and didn’t let anything slide, despite Covid. His staff are skilled, always showed up on time, and cleaned-up at the end of the day. Very happy to wholeheartedly recommend.
C. S.
AP Berrystone built our two storey extension on time and on budget. The service provided was absolutely first rate and quality of the work was exceptional throughout. Adrian and his team went above and beyond expectations a number of times in some challenging circumstances to deliver the result we wanted. I have recommended Adrian to friends who have also had similar fantiastic experiences and I wouldn't look anywhere else for any building work in the future.
L. S.
Adrian Berrystone and his team have carried out our kitchen diner extension project with utmost professionalism and efficiency. From our very first meeting right through to the completion of the project, we were impressed with Adrian's transparency, reliability, clear, regular communication, punctuality and very helpful, sound advice (not to mention his ability to help us to retain a sense of humour!). We continued to live in the property whilst the work was carried out and Adrian and his team were so considerate and sensitive to our needs. We had confidence from the outset that Adrian would manage our project to the highest standards and that his team would carry out work of the highest quality - this has certainly been the case and we would recommend A.P Berrystone wholeheartedly to anyone considering such an undertaking to their property. Thank you, Adrian and your guys, for making it such an enjoyable project! We love our extension!

This review is not for work done but for helpfulness / courteousness.
I was looking to get a quote for a couple of smaller jobs at my home. I messaged Adrian's company because of the good reviews, and whilst, unfortunately my jobs were too small scale, Adrian had the courtesy to respond quickly to my messages and to give advice about where I may be able to find a tradesman that could help.
For that alone, I am giving a good review, because I have tried to contact numerous tradesmen in recent months, and few will even reply, let alone take the time to give advice or try and assist.
His courtesy gives me confidence about his company and I would suggest him to others asking for recommendations, and will also remember him myself in the future should I plan a bigger project.
p. g.
Since we first contacted A P Berrystone for advice, Adrian was only too happy to oblige with advice and tips. We finally engaged Adrian's services for our extension and garage conversion.
He provided a detailed quote with a fixed price and a detailed time frame. He was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and sensitive to our needs under difficult circumstances throughout the build.
The works were carried out on time, the standard of work exceptional and at the end of each working day our premises were left spotless! Adrian kept us well informed and up to date at every stage of the build.
Adrian should be proud of his work and of his team of excellent trades persons. We have no hesitation in recommending Adrian to anyone in need of a fantastic builder.

Finding a builder that we could trust was always a priority for us. We were very pleased that we chose Adrian as he basically project managed our extension from start to finish using his experience to guide us and give us different options throughout. His communication was excellent and we were very impressed with how clean and tidy the house was left at the end of each day. Nothing was easy during our build, initially the wet weather in December caused delay and then the outbreak of Covid in March put a temporary stop to the project. However constant communication was kept with Adrian who did his best to ensure that we were left in liveable conditions. We are both thrilled with the end result and have to pinch ourselves that this is our home!

Adrian and his team have recently completed an extension on our house in Old Town; we selected AP Berrystone from 5 quotes based on his insight, contacts, speed of delivery and cost.
Adrian is fiercely protective of his reputation and was 100% committed to building our extension to a high standard. Adrian is incredibly well organised and in constant contact - even available to allay some minor concerns from a beach in Thailand on Christmas Eve!
We are very pleased with the results and would not hesitate in recommending AP Berrystone
P. T.
This is the 2nd time I've used Berrystone Builders for a major building project and continue to be impressed with their professionalism, quality of workmanship, tidiness and flexibility. All of the work was completed to schedule and to a high standard. Adrian and team are always very courteous and helpful. Adrian himself provided input and honest advice all the way through the project, contributing some very useful ideas to the overall design, resulting in a better end product. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to undertake your building project.
S. T.
Mr Berrystone's building company have just completed my double extension and what a fantastic job they did too. Not only was it a very competitive price, they turned up on time every day at the said time, the craftsmanship and building was as expected, done to a very high standard, as Mr Berrystone said it would be. Equally impressive was how clean and tidy all the work areas were kept. I would recommend this company time and time again. Well done guys and thank you very much for making my home look so beautiful.
G. B.
Adrian and his team have just completed my kitchen extension project and I am extremely happy with the end result. Adrian engages a very professional and diligent team of workers and all the work was carried out to a very high standard and on time. He is an excellent communicator and I was able to relax, knowing he was available throughout the project. All in all, I am delighted with the end result.
P. W.
Adrian's team built our kitchen extension through the coldest months of the year. However his builders were courteous and professional all the way through. The end result is an extension we are delighted with. His builders took great pride in their work. Our stress levels were kept under control due to Adrian's excellent communication.
We would recommend Berrystone Builders 100%.

If you are looking for a top class builder then look no further. Adrian Berrystone is a true professional who works to very high standards and clearly takes pride in his work. He always puts the customer first and delivers exactly what he says he will, on time and to the agreed price. You will be amazed at how clean and tidy he and his team are, cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each day. I cannot recommend Adrian and his team highly enough. He and his team have built us a garden room to be proud of - you certainly get what you pay for and we could not be happier!

We had AP Berrystone build our much needed extension on the rear of our property. We made our selection based on those builders who made the effort to quote and it was Adrian’s standard of proposal coupled with the speed of delivery, costs and the knowledge that they were a long standing member of the Federation of Master Builders that we selected them.
Our first setback came when the building inspector demanded that the footings be increased to 2 meters in depth due to the clay soil and elevation, this meant a rework of the design provided by the architect to include a suspended floor and clay barrier. Adrian addressed the issue quickly and maintained the build momentum.
We had a second setback where the architect had not correctly measured and allowed for the new ceiling to match the existing celling height, with some rework Adrian addressed the architect’s mistake.
Adrian and his team were 100% committed to building our extension to a high standard and they achieved that in a timely manner despite the setbacks they had along the way which were not of their making. The site access areas were cleaned on daily basis including the road outside and all delivers were managed by Adrian so as to have little impact the neighbours.
We are very pleased with the extension and would recommend AP Berrystone.
P. H.
Adrian and his team have just finished our garage conversion.
What struck us the most is his honesty, trustworthiness and genuine nature, he really does care about your project.
Adrian always kept us up to date as what to expect next, was within his stated timescale to finish and was also within his quoted budget.
Because we had a few changes (down to other 3rd parties letting us down), Adrian was able to sort it out for us and kept us up to date of any additional costs.
His team always arrived on time, worked to a professional standard and would leave the site tidy and well swept/ jet washed as required.
We are so happy with the quality of work and professional service that Adrian and all of his team gave.
Without out any hesitation we would use them again and would 100% recommend them for anyones project. If we could shout how brilliant they’ve been from the roof tops we would!

We are delighted to recommend A.P. Berrystone without reservation.
In 2005 we had a double extension to the rear of our house. Adrian Berrystone gave us a great deal of useful advice at the planning stage, and we decided that after 3 separate quotations, and although not the cheapest, Adrian's was by far the most professional and comprehensive quote. We therefore engaged him to carry out the work.
He started on the given date, and his team of very professional builders arrive punctually every morning. Adrian project-managed the whole build, and we were very impressed with his work ethic. As work progressed, Adrian was able to give us very helpful advice on unforeseen problems and the build was completed a week before time!
After completion the site was returned to its original condition, and we were very pleased with the whole project.
Since then, three of our neighbours have engaged Adrian to do various types of extension, and are similarly pleased. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone wanting a very professional, sympathetic builder.
R. B.
From our first engagement with Adrian at the time of quoting for the project we were impressed with his open and honest approach. Adrian gave us guidance on our design ideas and planning permission changes before we were able to proceed with our quite ambitious project which involved changing the external appearance of our home and building an extension with a new kitchen/family room. Adrian helped to make the costing very clear, was very good at providing notice of decisions that needed to be taken in advance so that things could stay on schedule and with his eye for detail provided very helpful suggestions to the final build spec as we progressed to ensure the optimal design/outcome was achieved. Things were always kept very tidy to ensure minimal disruption whilst still living in the house. The weather deserves a special mention too as despite the wettest winter in recent memory Adrian and the team did an amazing job of keeping things going with progress made every week of the project! We’re delighted with our new look home and would like to thank Adrian and the whole team at AP Berrystone for such a great job. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending AP Berrystone Building Contractors.
w. c.
We recently hired AP Berrystone for our kitchen extension project. Right from our first meeting Adrian provided valuable advice on the technicalities of our project. He provided an extremely detailed fixed price quote (much more detailed than some of the other companies we approached, and so we hired him. We certainly have not regretted our decision. The work started on time, and was completed ahead of schedule. Adrian's team started promptly at 7.30 every morning, and certainly did not hang about, but the standard of the work was extremely high. The team were also careful to keep disruption to a minimum. I would have not hesitation in recommending AP Berrystone.
M. L.
We had the vision of what we wanted to be built and now that hard work of finding a builder began. For a while we had watched as the company called A.P. Berrystone worked within the area where we lived.All works were finished to an exceptionally high standards and home owners gave us superb reviews of their own experiences. I contacted Adrian and we knew straightaway that we wanted his company to build our building. There are not enough words to say what a wonderful company this is. All tradesmen are diligent, pure craftsmen, superbly skilled. The punctuality and politeness is outstanding and they are very clean and respectful to neighbours and their property. Adrian handled the few unseen problems with swiftness and took all the stress and worry away from us. The Orangery that they built is traditional with high parapet walls and it has beautiful detailed and intricate brick work and is all finished off with a gorgeous glass lantern roof. Thank you Adrian and all of your team, companies like yours are a rare find today. Mark & Alison.
F. H.
Adrian is a very knowledgable helpful chap. We really appreciated his honest opinion and advice regarding some building work. Highly recommended.
k. s.
As suppliers to A P Berrystone Bldg Contractors for many years, Adrian is extremely professional in all aspects of his work. Having visited many of his projects I have never failed to be impressed with the quality of his and his teams workmanship. His sites are always tidy and I am always impressed that he manages to always build to his promised timescales and fulfills his promises made to his clients. If we are ever asked for any recommendations of builders, this is the company that is always first on our list.
M. T.
I rarely review places or businesses but after having some work done on my home I feel this is fully deserved. I (I'm sure like many others) have always wanted to make home improvements but have worried about choosing the right company. After speaking to Adrian and having him look around my home my doubts were easily settled. Adrian and his team worked in a very professional, efficient and respectful manner with very little disruption to my everyday routine. I was over the moon when all was completed. Nothing was ever a problem and I'd fully recommend AP Berrystone Building Contractors to anyone. Thank you again to Adrian and the team. Mr Thomas.

AP Berrystone completed a large single-storey extension for us in summer 2012. The work required the removal of the entire rear corner of our property with substantial enlargement of the sitting room and kitchen, plus the addition of a cloakroom. From the first meeting through to the estimate and final execution of the works Adrian and his team were fantastic, even dealing smoothly with some necessary corrections to the architect’s plans and liaising with the kitchen manufacturer. They were extremely considerate, particularly as we were living in the property at the time and effectively having to work around the lack of a kitchen and sitting room for a good deal of the 8-week build duration. The site was always kept clean and tidy with great consideration shown to our neighbours and cat! Since completion many of our friends and neighbours have complimented us on the quality of the works and how they blend in seamlessly to the original building.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending AP Berrystone to anybody considering home improvements.
N. A.
I have worked with Adrian Berrystone in excess of 20 years now. We initially met on site at one of my own projects where I monitored the building work for my client.
The quality of the work at that time was second to none, and Adrian has continued throughout the years with the same quality, care and cleanliness that he has now become renowned for.
To this day, I have and will continue to recommend his services to all of my clients as I know that the building work and most importantly, the finishing, is always to perfection, completed tidily and always completed on the date that Adrian specifies.
Adrian runs his business like a machine, his work is excellent and I hear nothing more than praise from my clients once his work is completed. This makes the whole process of my design and the Building works run smoothly from start to finish.

From the beginning Adrian was very helpful. We had been struggling to get the structural design started and he met with our Structural Engineer and resolved the issue that day. The steelwork was not straightforward and required a high degree of skill and experience to construct.
Whenever we needed advice on anything at all he was always there to help. He was able to offer a lot of advice about what we should consider doing, rather than just building to a drawing.
Throughout the duration of the build Adrian kept us informed as to the progress of the work on a daily basis. Not once did we have to chase on anything, as Adrian is incredibly organised. His team were always on time and reliable. The build was completed on time with Adrian letting us know when we needed to do anything to ensure that the programme was met. From the outset Adrian said that he would ensure everything would be tidy and the work respectful of the neighbours who had nothing but praise for the way he goes about his work.
Adrian is very proud of his work and ensures that any issues are attended to quickly. We would have no hesitation in recommending him as a first class builder.
J. M.
We’re delighted with our extension. Berrystone’s team provide a quality end product.
Knocking a kitchen and a dining room into one and extending it, is a big job. Adrian explained the process and steps well. The team were hardworking and certainly got on with the job. They left the place extremely tidy at the end of each day.
Adrian provided us with advice and design ideas, and we’re glad of his eye for detail and experience.
The team worked quickly and worked hard to minimise the disruption.
We’d certainly recommend Berrystone’s to anyone.
K. B.
We employed Adrian to build our single story extension as from the first meeting we felt we could totally trust him with the complicated works needed doing on our property. His small team were punctual, tidy, hard working and the quality of work excellent. What else could you ask for! I have no hesitation recommending A P Berrystone to anyone.
K. W.
From start to finish we found Adrian and his team to be extremely professional and we are so pleased we chose AP Berrystone as our builders. Adrian and the team were always on time, courteous and friendly and Adrian often thought of problems/issues that we'd not considered and helped us resolve things. Our build was completed on time and we would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
T. R.
Adrian is a very professional builder who can be relied upon to deliver an extension on time and to a high specification. In 2011 he added a fairly complex gable end extension to our bungalow together with major refurbishment of our lounge and dining room. This had several challenges which the architect had failed to consider which he solved. We are delighted with the end result and the extension is the major feature of our home and has significantly improved our living experience. We found Adrian extremely reliable, honest and an excellent communicator and would have no hesitation in recommending his services.
P. G.
We have just had the double-length garage rebuilt as a fully incorporated utility room and dry storage. Adrian Berrystone's help throughout has been excellent. He has been very thorough in explaining options at the start and then talking through each stage as it happens, and the quality of work and the attitude of the men have been exemplary. He has kept precisely to timescale and his concern for the neighbours and keeping the site clean has been meticulous. We would need a really good reason to consider anyone else in future. Five stars well deserved.
V. K.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Adrian when he came out to discuss the renovation we intend taking in hand later this year. He is extremely personable, and clearly very competent: During our one-hour meeting he came up with several creative suggestions for added value / cost control. I look forward to working with him as our project evolves.
P. F.
Adrian and his team have just completed a single storey extension on our house. We're extremely happy with the finished product and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anybody thinking of undertaking such a project in the future. The standard of work/finish and attention to detail is extremely high. Particularly pleasing and impressive was the way everything was cleared up at the end of each day. Had it not been for the portaloo on the driveway, you would never have known that we were having work done. Adrian has been extremely professional, honest and transparent with us, right from our first meeting with him, to discuss a quote on the proposed works, and has also offered invaluable help and advice throughout. He warned us that he'd probably be the most expensive quote, but told us you get what you pay for. Having previously had a less than satisfactory experience on a previous project, where we opted for a cheaper quote, I have to say that he backed up that statement. He is always contactable and his communication cannot be faulted, always keeping you in touch and informed of progress and of any potential problems. Any problems that do arise are always clearly explained and always followed by a proposed solution, giving you great confidence and reassurance that you're in safe hands. In summary, definitely 5 stars, in the absence of a higher rating!
m. h.
Being a branch manager at Jewson I have known Adrian for a number of years. When partners family needed an extension doing I had no hesitation in putting his name forward. Build is now complete and everything exactly as expected. Build complete ahead of schedule, 1st class build quality and everything kept clean and tidy everyday without fail! Builders turn up every day, on time and are very polite. Thanks Adrian, would have no issues using you again in the future or putting your name forward should anyone ask. 5* service!
K. D.
Adrian and his team were extremely professional in their approach from the initial visit, detailed quotation, timely start, expertise and advice during the project, keeping the site clean, their high standards for workmanship and finishing on schedule as promised. I would recommend their services without hesitation and with confidence. Even my neighbours complimented their work ethics, standards and professionalism.
C. W.
We had a large single storey annex built on our home. Adrian and the team built the annex with very little disruption and he kept everywhere incredibly tidy . The extension was built to time and to an excellent standard. He came highly recommended and I have already recommended to friends and neighbours. By choosing AP Berrystone you won't go wrong.
P. S.
I contacted Adrian for a room extension above an existing garage with an approved building plan. He responded with a detailed fixed price quote and swiftly accepted to follow up with a meeting to discuss my requirements in more detail. He provided valuable guidance around options I was considering. I was impressed by his enthusiasm and expertise.
One of my key requirements was the completion of the job on time, before the arrival of our new born baby. Despite losing about a week due to bad weather, Adrian still kept to his word and completed the job on time without compromising on his very high standards and cleanliness. He always kept me in the loop and I never had to chase him, making this a stress free experience.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Adrian to anyone without hesitation

From my initial contact with A.P Berrystone through to full completion I have been more than satisfied.
The workers have been brilliant as they have kept noise to a minimum. I am most impressed upon how tidy these builders have been!
The whole project has been totally stress free as A.P Berrystone project managed everything.
I highly recommend this firm and will be more than happy to use again.

Two-storey side extension over driveway with vaulted ceiling:
Deciding to make drastic changes to your home always starts with an idea and a dream of what you want – in our case what we wanted was not necessarily that straightforward either. Unfortunately, the idea and dream can all too often be followed by a less than happy reality where getting it done takes much longer, is more expensive, gives you more hassle and worry than you ever imagined and in the end never looks quite as good as you thought it would.
We are absolutely delighted to say that the reality in having Adrian as our builder has meant that none of the above was true for us. Adrian provided a very detailed quote with a very good price and from the very first day, and throughout the build, we have known without question that Adrian was looking after the budget as if it was his own money, both himself and the team would turn up when they said they would, would finish their work to schedule and that the build would be finished on time. We can honestly say what a happy and stress free experience the past 8 weeks have been which is entirely down to Adrian’s excellent project management, his customer care, honesty and the excellent team of tradesman he brought onto the job. The final result is fantastic and is actually better than we envisaged!
Many Thanks Adrian – we’ll miss seeing you and the Guys!
M. P.
Adrian and his team recently completed an over garage extension for us. The quality of workmanship is excellent, the site was left clean and tidy every day, with a friendly and hardworking team. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality builder.
M. J.
Many thanks to the A P Berrystone team for the way they built our familyroom extension.
We first noticed the Berrystone builders working 100 metres along our narrow road and were immediately impressed by the way they worked hard to keep any disruption to a minimum, very important when you like your neighbors.
We would recommend contacting Adrian Berrystone to anyone thinking about starting a building project.

We used APB a couple of years ago to build an extension and are very pleased with the work he and his team accomplished.
He is a superb project manager. During our build which was completed in super-quick time, Adrian would arrive early each morning and park close by to organise the deliveries, skips, etc. He works by "just in time" principles which means the site is very tidy with only what is needed for the next day or two's work.
He brings a portaloo so while the extension was being built we had minimal disruption - we could come and go as we pleased as all the work was taking place outside the existing house. Finally, when it came to knocking through to the existing kitchen - across the whole depth of the house - this was done quickly with no problems.
Adrian prices everything, so you know how much an extra socket will cos for examplet, and it is clear what is included and excluded in his quote - which he stuk to.
Staged payments at pre-determined points in the build gave us confidence, too.
On completion, within his time estimates, we were so pleased that we agreed to his using photos on his website - they are still there.
Some 2 years after the build we recently had an issue - a pair of French doors installed during the build weren't closing and opening smoothly. As soon as we told Adrian he had someone come round, and now they are working perfectly. Top job, and no charge.
We confidently recommend him.

As a result of choosing AP Berrystone we have an excellent extension, built in double quick time (which was essential) and of very high quality and I have already recommended them to friends. The skilled team applied themselves fully to the work and we were very happy with the professionalism of the operation, from respecting our neighbours to making sure everything is left clean and tidy on a daily basis. The project was overseen to a high level of detail, but as discussed at the time, this detail, and the decisions made, would benefit from being shared in a more relaxed way. A lovely extension and a relief to now be able to use the new bedroom and converted wet room.

The 4 x 4 meter extension was constructed during the winter period with full Covid restrictions, to the original plan and quote. The build was delayed slightly due to Covid and the weather however we were not inconvenienced at any stage, the quality of the work exceeded our expectations, the work men kept the site tidy and were considerate at all times. No problems we would recommend them without hesitation.

"Berrystone’s built a two storey extension at the back of our house and a porch at the front. It was our first experience of having major building work and we chose Berrystone’s due to recommendations and confidence Adrian gave us in his ability to manage the project well and ensure that the team on site would be professional, organised and courteous with neighbours. Adrian’s quote was the clearest and most detailed of those that we received.
The team were punctual and kept the site clean and tidy: neighbours have been very complimentary about their work and consideration. We had some challenges with the weather (the coldest winter in years) and additional work not foreseen at the start which Adrian and his team managed well. The quality of the build was very good and we greatly appreciated Ian’s craftsmanship and hard work which ensured the internal finish was of a high standard. In general communication with Adrian was good; he was prompt at replying to enquiries and people and deliveries turned up when they were expected.
Best Wishes
Rob"

We used Adrian and his team 9 years ago to build an extension across the rear of the house.
The original job was first class and professionally managed and delivered.
This week, and 9 years later, I had an urgent query to address. Adrian responded within hours resolving the problem and taking away the issue.
Now that's what I call after sales service.

I have met & worked along side numerous builders over the years. I must say Adrian Berrystone is very good at organising projects. And was very helpful with his building skill knowledge. Been a pleasure 😀

Excellent Service
I called this company to enquire about having a 2 storey extension built. From the first point of contact until completion, I was fully assured that I had made the right decision in using this great team of reliable workers. From the first contact I had, I was met with a polite, courteous, friendly service that continued until the extension had been completed. During the progression of the work, the builders worked hard and satisfactorily and caused as less disruption to the running of my family home as possible. They caused little mess and remained respectful to myself and family throughout and took into account the needs of my disabled daughter. I cannot recommend this company enough. Excellent, professional service from highly qualified staff. Thank you Berrystone builders. Mrs T Sheehan, Redhouse Village.

On the face of it, through our naive eyes, we had a simple building project to extend over our existing double garage to provide a new master bedroom and en-suite and extra single room.
Below this we would take part of the garage floor space and extend the kitchen and do some small modifications to extend the front porch area. Many of the houses on our small estate had already done similar extensions and the plans we had commissioned, drawn and approved all looked simple enough.
How wrong we were and equally how fortunate we were in choosing AP Berrystone (APB) to manage the build. We chose APB from our initial shortlist of 5 local builders because we liked the attention to detail in his quote and also his assured manner. The website site he also pointed us towards gave us numerous examples of similar projects he had already successfully delivered.
We felt we were in safe hands.
The project got underway at a fast pace but soon we were informed of a major problem. It transpired that a good proportion of the outer garage wall was not sitting on a foundation.
The building inspectors were called out to view the issue and they were shocked - this house after all was part of a new housing estate built only 18 years ago so how could a problem
of this magnitude not have been spotted.
The issue for us though was that there was seemingly no way forward, but worse still was that there was no way back either as the garage was deemed unsafe.
APB though, through his vast experience, had other ideas and was able to propose a solution that met with the building inspectors approval. Under his guidance a rapid re-drawing of the plans with new structural calculations took place and effectively a crisis was averted.
I would like to say that everything after that went according to plan - but it didn't. A plan after all is just a two-dimensional entity. Under the scrutiny of an experienced builder that was tasked with bringing it to life a number of impracticalities with the internal layout were brought to light. As each problem arose though choices and swift solutions were provided and in many instances the final result was better than what we originally envisaged.
Much of what APB achieved though was only possible because he employs first rate craftsmen that take pride in a job being done well. They arrive promptly each morning and when it is time to leave they ensure the area is left a tidy as possible. APB insists on this tidiness - an important factor especially as far as the neighbours are concerned.
Throughout the whole building process APB strives wherever possible to keep the disruption down to a minimum and with regular meetings and constant updates on progress
he helps you to manage the stress levels and stay in control of the project.
It has been an incredible journey, with many highs and lows, and we would like to express our sincere thanks to Adrian and his thoroughly professional team for finishing on a high
and giving us a house with that WOW factor!

Adrian was recommended to us and he did not disappoint. He was very generous with his time and was open and frank with his assessment which we appreciated. His gave us some excellent advice and has helped us enormously. We would have no hesitation in recommending him.
P. L.
No work completed at this satge. However, made an enquiry online, Adrian called me within 24 hours and fully explained the process I should follow before committing to any work. Great honest service and will be coming back for a quote as soon as I am in the position to do so.
H. F.
We would just like to thank Adrian and his team for their expertise in all aspects of our building project, right from day one it showed how professional he his and with his meticulous attention to detail and perfection. I was amazed at how organised everything was and most pleasingly on schedule, a real pleasure have around. My neighbours also commented on how clean and tidy he left the site each evening showing a lot of consideration for all concerned, we would highly recommend to anyone thanks again.
Mr & Mrs Follett, Swindon.

Detailed and accurate quote, great communication from planning to finished extension, friendly, clean, efficient, good honest advice when needed, wouldn't hesitate to contract Adrian and his team again. Huge thanks to AP Berrystone for making our dream a reality!

Top Class Finish
As most people do nowadays it is to research online other people’s views and opinions on things. I did this in order to find someone to take on a project, respect my home, treat it like it was theirs and fulfil high expectations with minimum fuss, disruption, stress and above all mess.
You really are walking into the unknown and have so many unanswered question, worries and hesitations. That’s normal BUT with Adrian and his network of associates and skilled workforce all of those dissipate immediately and the way the build is Project managed is second to none.
The key points for me are communication which is superb, cleanliness which again is superb (especially considering it is a building taking place), open and honest discussions and utilisation of a person’s skillset spanning in excess of 30 years and the final result which is all honesty speaks for itself.
A stress-free build and money well spent. You cannot put a price on peace of mind.
Thanks again Adrian and to all.

A P Berrystone recently completed a single storey extension for us. Fantastic job, fantastic team of workers that completed the job to the highest standards. Their attention to detail was astounding.......I would have no hesitation in recommending this company........outstanding......

Does exactly what he says he will!
From providing a detailed quote, to doing what he says & when he says – it will happen, unless out of his control i.e. the weather, to tidying up properly at the end of each working day – tidy should be his middle name, Adrian certainly gives 110%.
Can't fault the standard and quality of work, the advice, ideas or solutions (nor is he on a job creation scheme) and he does listen, this proved exceedingly useful as neither of us had ever done anything like this before.
Very self contained workforce, neat & tidy with a responsible attitude. Not the cheapest quote, but certainly provides good value for the price (Ady is the first to say that does not do CHEAP!)
Would highly recommend for any building work.

We’ve just had a garage conversion done, it was an excellent piece of work. Adrian and the team do a fantastic job, the quality is superb and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Professional from start to finish, I would definitely recommend their services and wouldn’t hesitate to use them for any future work.
B. H.

Preliminary phone conversation to discuss proposed structural and renovation works on a late Victorian property I am in the process of purchasing: Adrian appears knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, responding clearly and promptly to my initial enquiry. I look forward to potentially working with him in the near future.
G. B.
Please note I am posting for help received to an enquiry - NOT actual building work. I emailed AP Berrystone and received an email the next day. The following day I had a call from Adrian explaining the process I have to go through to get a detailed and accurate quote. Very helpful thus far!
W. W. M. R.
Phoned up for some information regarding an issue with a property, Adrian kindly gave advice both over phone and after reviewing photos of the issue via text, put m mind at ease and explained the differences in issues with brick work.
Very impressed.
Very professional, wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
A. L.
I phoned Adrian today after reading google reviews. I told him my problem water coming through an extension wall . Done by another builder He diagnosed the problem and is coming out next week to quote etc. He was very professional and obviously knows his building trade inside out. I hope I will be putting another review after the work is completed I somehow think I will
