Consumer feedback

Generated from the text of this trader's consumer reviews

UCS Construction (often led by Richard, with Del praised for decorating/painting) comes highly recommended for damp proofing, plastering and full refurbishments, as well as bathrooms, kitchens, drainage and carpentry. Customers repeatedly highlight Richard’s clear, itemised approach and the way he explains issues and next steps—one reviewer noted he gave “really useful advice” and “talked me through what he was doing and why,” while others praised his punctuality and tidy workmanship, including washing floors on the way out. The team is also credited with being mindful of disruption and producing high-quality finishes, from smooth plasterwork to a “beautiful new external oak door” that was weather-tight and security-fitted.

What Customers Say

  • Knowledgeable, damp-focused expertise: Customers praised Richard for identifying damp entry points and advising realistically, with one review saying he “carefully went about his work and the result was great.”

  • Punctual, tidy and detail-driven workmanship: Many say the team keeps to schedule and works neatly—Del is repeatedly described as a perfectionist, while Richard is praised for washing down at the end and leaving homes “extremely tidy.”

    "Richard came to view the proposed work, provided really useful advice that helped with my decision-making and made me confident in his experience with treating older houses re the damp issues they can experience. During the work itself, he was always punctual, extremely tidy, showed me each step of the process, talked me through what he was doing and why. Before he left, he answered all my questions on what might happen next, how long to wait before re-instating decoration and the do's and don'ts I need to follow when I do. Also said I could whatsapp photos over to him if I ever had any queries or concerns. He finished on schedule and washed my floor on his way out. Professional to a T and a lovely man to boot. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

    "I'm really happy with my new bathroom. Richard was a pleasure to work with. He is reliable, communicates well and has lots of good design ideas, but always consulted me before making choices. His prices are competitive with no compromise on the quality of the work. I will definitely ask him do carry out more projects here in future."

    "The shower drain was blocked and water flowed under the door on to the upstairs landing, through the ceiling to the kitchen below. Richard sorted this blocked shower pipe very quickly and efficiently. He also replaced 2 basin taps in the bathroom along with replacing a garden tap. In addition, he fitted a new toilet seat at no extra cost. Richard did a very job job & I would highly recommend him. J Robertson, Holloway"
