Rob is managing the build from the office, he always returns calls if he misses one, Fred (who writes the responses on here) is the the technical guy and knows his business well, and has come up with good ideas to improve the space and keep the build ticking along. The lads on site daily, have been courteous and clean, the scaffolding, shute and skip mean the garden is always tidy. The only thing holding up our build is the Oct wind and rain, mean we cannot remove the temporary roof. So far I have no concerns with the rip out (which I knew was going to be a nightmare due to the 90 years of abuse the house / plumbing and electrics have sustained over those years, the schedule of work is good and the staff are easy to talk to. The director has not called once to hassle me about anything and Im not sure I'll here from him at all. There is a 6 stage payment schedule of which we are at stage2, so no one should have ever paid all the money up front, as mentioned in one of the other reviews. Thus I can't agree with any of the 1 start ratings. Ill write another review once the work is complete.

He was really friendly and polite, and was incredibly careful with all the small details to ensure he finished every room perfectly. It's a bit like living in a totally different (and far more stylish) flat now they have finished. If we ever move house and need builders, I will definitely get them involved again. **Although this is their first yelp review, they have loooads of other good reviews on google+, so if you don't believe me, have a look: https://plus.google.com/+TiptopbuildersLtdUkservice/about

I can highly recommend Gary for both flat and pitched tiled roofing work. I met Gary 10+ years ago,…read morehave personally observed him working on site and I was very impressed with the finished job on every occasion. I have observed Gary's work done for high level customers in Knightsbridge London (Wilton Crescent SW1), Rickmansworth (Hertfordshire WD3) & King Fahad Academy Acton. I think what impressed me most was Gary's attention to detail & his thoroughness. Roofing in the UK can be very challenging due to climate limitations and the very nature of the job. I have however always known Gary to do excellent work. I was impressed with Gary's work on the large Pitched roof job in Rickmansworth. This entailed handmade clay tiles, mortar edging tinted to a colour shade required by the client and a high standard of overall finishing. Gary also did excellent building work at the Fahad academy where a previous electrical company had in error placed an excessive load on the academy roof. As an experienced roofer Gary was able to advise and implement corrective measures. The heavy cabling/ piping was moved off of the flat roof & the load was correctly & evenly distributed across structural cantilevers. The required work & roof repair was essential & done to a high standard. The Knightsbridge client also had essential work for which Gary was approached and contracted in to resolve. A challenging glazed roof over a heated swimming pool/ sauna entertainment area needed urgent correction and repairs. Being Knightsbridge and the nature of the customer, exact precision workmanship & fitting was required. The clients personal Butler had a tight time schedule in which the work had to be completed. Gary once again did an excellent job to the satisfaction of the customer. Based on my personal experience and observation, I can highly recommend Gary for similar jobs. I have always known Gary to be a man of integrity that has delivered on agreed work. I have personally only experienced positive feedback on work done by Gary. I highly recommend Gary for roofing and similar building related jobs. Yours Sincerely Andrew L

They were so good - that i contracted them to replace a few more windows - and when I've saved up some more money I will have them back again.
After the initial survey I decided to use Keepout because I felt the surveyor was very professional…read moreand it seemed like a reputable company. However after I had the measurements taken the issues started. I ordered 1UPVC bay window for the front of the house and two UPVC windows for the back of the house. After the initial measurements were taken I was told that one of the rear windows that were designed for me by the surveyor wasn't actually technically possible. This would lead to issues further down the line. I personally found it hard to understand why an experienced surveyor would design a window that wasn't technically possible. 22nd of March Fitting day arrived and after returning from work the fitters were still there and I found out the following:- Downstairs bay window * Huge gap outside all around the window. The fitters had not sealed any of the outside of the bay window. Water would easily be able to access the interior structure * Hole in the frame by the sill outside again making the interior of the window completely open to the elements. * The mechanism to the sash window was broken and no keys were provided which meant I was not able to open the window * Crack in the trim on the inside which can easily be flexed to show the crack. * Three significant dents or scratches * Mastic has been added before the window was cleaned properly meaning some of the edging has black staining * Trim around the window was not completed properly and there was an edge all around the window which was uneven and untidy. Upstairs window 1. * Window originally fitted upside down (see image, however they did pull the window out and then turn it the correct way up the same day) * No ventilation in the window and there is no space for this to be retrofitted * Scratched handle * Several scratches all over the window frame * The way the window had been designed meant that there was a child lock on the window. Because of the reassess it was not possible to access the child lock and therefore open the window 90 degrees which meant that it did not meet building regulations and was therefore not a viable upstairs window 23rd of March * A fitter returned to put a temporary sealant around the way window to protect it from the bad weather. * The site manager visited to confirm that all of the above issues were indeed correct and that a whole new window upstairs would need to be designed and built 24th of March * New fitters visited the property, fitted the new window upstairs and cleaned up the scratches and re-sealed the front of the bay window * They were unable to fix the mechanism inside the window and confirmed that this would have to be done at a later date. 26th of March * They tried to push me into paying the reminder of the invoice, even though the windows were not complete. At one point confirming they would be taking legal action. They confirmed that they would send someone around on the 10th of April (2 weeks later) to fix the mechanism in the bay window . 1st of April * I realised, almost two weeks after the initial fitting that they had failed to seal the outside of the 2nd window upstairs. The weather was extremely bad over this period and water was able to get into the cavity wall. Due to a holiday period for Keepout, no one was available for a full week until the 9th of April to even respond to my concerns. See image of unsealed window. 9th of April * After returning from their holiday period they returned removed the window, seale it and re-fitted it roughly three weeks of not being watertight 10th of April The manufacturer arrived.. He confirmed the following :- * The bay window mechanism was broken as expected, however the window was also fixed into place and was not able to be opened even if the mechanism was fixed. * It would be several more weeks until the mechanism could be fixed Keepout denied there was an issue with the window being fixed in place. 15th of May * Keepout and the manufacturer returned to fix the broken mechanism . It turned out that the window was fixed in place. The window had been glued using liquid plastic to the frame which meant it could not be opened. * The fitters had to prize the window from the frame breaking the trim at the bottom of the window, however the window was finally able to be opened. 29th of May * The fitters finally came to replace the trim and finish the windows. Summary * It took over 2 months for the windows to be fitted * After the initial fitting I had to take 4 days off work to supervise the work being carried out because of the poor standard of work * They repeatedly failed to notice significant issues with the design and fitting of the windows and it was my responsibility to inform them of the ongoing issues with the windows. * They refused to provide a discount due to the poor service and standard of work
