Dear Ben

 

Just to let you know how thrilled we are with the oak pergola you built us. The craftsmanship and detailing are quite exceptional.

 

Viewing the pergola from the house, you have given us a room in the garden under which we just want to sit and enjoy our surroundings. Many thanks once again, far exceeded our expectations.  

 

Clive and Sue Osborne

Hi Ben,

Sorry its taken me a while to send you this. 

Id just like to say that I'm so very pleased with my garden room it has the wow factor that I was looking for.

Even though my house is modern I love oak and needed something to replace my glass conservatory as this was cold and hard to keep warm especially in the winter months. I'm very pleased I came across your company on the internet as there are others, but they didn't provide the same enthusiasm and knowledge of oak that you showed when I contacted you.  I knew from the start that you and your capable team would do a good job especially as the shape I wanted was unusual, but it proved that you are able to commit and do a very good finish at a reasonable price. After coming to your premises and seeing your craftsmanship, I was delighted when the build was complete.  The tiled roof is exceptional with the sky lights adding warmth and depth as the glass and workmanship on the oak provide the glamour and wow factor I was looking for.

Thank you so much

Ben's experience, flexibility, workmanship and overall professionalism were very much appreciated.  This project was part of a much larger build and Ben and this team integrated seamlessly with the primary contractor.  

The result is outstanding and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben or use him again in the future.

I've also found him to be competitive on price and his work is much admired by those who have seen it and has stood the test of time very well.

We would strongly recommend him and his work, much of which he undertakes personally.

He and his team were very personable and enthusiastic about their work and kept us informed all the way through the process even inviting us to visit the workshop to view our structure before it was erected on site. 

He provides an excellent service at a reasonable price.

Ben was extremely engaging and friendly and we both felt comfortable leaving him to complete the work. Ben even returned to fit some Oak around the gutter to improve the overall look once the Porch was completed. We are very pleased with the final outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben and the team for any future work. 

Ben came to us recommended by friends locally, and for me a personal recommendation is worth its weight in gold. 

We commissioned Ben and it soon became clear, when meeting him, that he had a wealth of knowledge and he has clearly worked on some prestigious projects, and I really liked the fact that he was brimming with good ideas.

We wanted a secret room behind a bookcase, he knew exactly what to do and the results are a real talking point amount friends.

The difference with Ben is that his workmanship, compared to other tradesmen I have used in the past, was in a different class.

His oak work, in our view, is excellent and he had some great ideas that I feel have really enhanced our house.

He is friendly and honest craftsman who takes great pride in his work. 

Just to say thanks to you and the team for producing a stunning Oak Frame section for our dining room extension. We are really pleased with the end result.. great proportions, quality and detailing.  

Thanks also for working to get the Oak and glazing installed to fit around the rest of our renovation project and great, pro-active communication along the way (that in itself deserves a testimonial!)

We highly recommend Ben and his team without a doubt for their quality of work, great advice and friendly personable approach.

Ben and his team were brilliant and the build quality of the Cart Lodge was out of this world. 

We haven't seen "attention to detail" building like this for many years. Essence of Oak were so good that we are now looking to use them for our new extension.

I would highly recommend Essence of Oak.  And once again many thanks;  the porch has exceeded our expectations and has given our home some much needed character.

The work was completed on time and to budget by a great bunch of guys, I will be using them again.  Thank you.

We would recommend Essence of Oak to developers and homeowners without hesitation. 

Ben and his men were so enthusiastic and helpful throughout, nothing was too much trouble. Their work ethic, craftsmanship and attention to detail is outstanding.

My oak vaulted living area with oak / glass wall and doors beautifully frame our large garden.  It is an absolute show stopper.

I love it so much, thank you Essence of Oak for creating a magical space to live in!

I'm extremely grateful to Ben and his team for a job well done and will be using him again in the future to build me a log cabin, a project that I will look forward to and have no doubt with Ben in charge will go very smoothly.
