Jason was able to do the work within the required timescale and he kept me informed of what needed doing, with 'before' and 'after' photos. These were needed for warranty purposes. His quote was competitive. Some parts of the work required clever solutions to resolve, also saving time but not quality. I am very pleased with the outcome.

We at POW Property Developments are a family-run business that specialises in construction and development services. Our founder, Louis Pow, has built up over 10 years’ worth of experience in the industry, starting out with small refurbishments and now taking on large-scale new build projects. We can manage work on several properties at once, which is why we’ve become the first-choice team for many homeowners. Renovation: - A renovation will significantly increase the property value if you’re looking to sell in the future. - Similarly, a renovation will make your new building more comfortable - It may be that your property has an outdated structure, weak beams and damaged doors. - Rest assured, all the renovated areas will be thoroughly checked to make sure the results meet our high standard. Repairs & Maintenance services: - Heating and boiler repairs - Fire Door Regulation - Leaking taps and pipework - Painting and Decorating - Floor and roof repairs - Electrical Faults - Damp Issues - Driveway, Patio, and decking - Blocked drains and gutters - Fencing - Windows, doors, and conservatories - Brickwork, Plastering and rendering Refurbishment: - Less comprehensive than renovations, refurbishment usually involves making aesthetic changes to property to make it feel more like home. - By working with our team, you will experience minimal inconvenience, as we have the tools and experience needed to complete all work at a high standard. New Building: - We ask all customers to outline their needs concerning budget, desired features, and other essential features. - Going through a personalised design service is essential to getting a new build property that is close to your initial vision. - Cost effective building options - Quality crafting materials - Quick and efficient building process
