First Choice Extensions Bewertungen 

We have used First Choice Extensions for 3 projects and were pleased with their service. In our experience their work was high quality and we found the team at FCE to be personable, responsive and reliable.

FCE have recently completed a kitchen extension, garage conversion and full first floor renovation for us. It was a 4 month build and we lived in the house throughout.

In summary, I would recommend FCE to anyone looking for a builder and would give 4.5 stars. We are very happy with the end result, and it completed pretty much at the fixed price that Tony quoted at the start of the project (subject to a couple of minor variations).

The completion date was also met (albeit there was a bit of contingency built into that timeline so there were weeks when things did not happen due to supplier, weather etc.)

Things did not go perfectly - at some points in the project, communication of when certain tasks were going to happen could have been better at some points, and there were snags that needed to be rectified following requests from us but AJ did manage expectations at the start of the project by saying things would go wrong.

AJ and Tony were always on hand to answer any questions or address any concerns. I could always get hold of them straight away (including at weekends) if needed.

FCE did also go beyond what was technically itemised in the contract for ancillary works / finishing touches, which was appreciated.

Impressed overall.
We recently used FC Extensions to open up between our dining room and kitchen. Tony came to give us a quote when he said he would, it was competitive and the work was carried out much sooner than expected. AJ called in to check we were happy with the work once it was completed.
We would recommend FC Extensions and look forward to working with them again during the next phase of work on our house.

First Choice Extensions have just completed a single storey extension.

From initial consultation through to completion they took care of everything. From sorting out the planning application and dealing with spurious delays caused by the council planning dept; to sorting out the design and calcs for all the steel beams; to managing the build through a tricky period to get the kitchen ready in time for Xmas. Tony, AJ and Leon and all their guys were really helpful.

We are really happy with the finished extension.

We signed a contract with FC after meeting Tony and AJ the faces of the company, immediately I was at ease with the knowledge and expertise of these guys. The building work involved in my project was complex and over 3 floors. We had a complete rip out through the whole building and also added a dormer conversion and converted the downstairs into an open plan kitchen. There were issues like with any build of this size throughout the project but FC sorted them out in a timely manner, kept me up to date and went over and above to ensure we were looked after. The customer service level and quality of tradesmen they use is what puts these guys a level above the rest. We as customers are very particular and had a high spec in mind, we are also very hands on with what we expect from a build, but FC took this in their stride. There were times where stress and worry did come into play, partly due to covid and shortage on building materials and because we were out of our home for a long period with young children, this pressure was put on FC and they dealt with it with a fully professional and can do attitude, always going the extra mile to get us back in our home as soon as physically possible. We have nothing but good things to say, we were blown away by the high standard and finish of our build, it was above and beyond expectation and we would highly recommend this building company!

I’m very happy with the work of First Choice Extensions. They just completed my loft conversion excellently. Mr. AJ and his team handled the project with passion, professionalism and effective time management. They look after customer very well. They even did a few add-ons for me free of charge. I recommend them to you without any reservation.

We are very delighted and satisfied by choosing First Choice Extension to build our one story extension. From day one the presentation of the project work file by the project manager Tony and all the commitments and the responsible attitude won our confidence. They have the most realistic value and cost effective price for this project in comparison with other reputable companies on the market.
Our project consisted of one story extension with a vault celing and continued refurbishing of an existing room including installing underfloor heating in addition to front garden flagging and building a back garden gate.
During our 12 weeks building, we had an excellent and cohesive communication with the whole team and in particular with AJ who was our customer service manager. We would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to Tony and AJ facilitating and surmounting all the difficulties and accommodating our needs as a family during this transition.
We highly recommend them to take up your desired project as they will deliver with a client satisfaction guarantee.

We recently completed our two story side and back extension to our semi-detached house in Cheadle with FCE. We were recommended FCE by a friend who had a single story side extension and were very pleased with the results.

With us being totally new to any kind of house extension project Tony was excellent in his approach in explaining the process, answering questions and laid out a clear quote with fixed costs for each stage. This provided us with confidence in FCE, the project costs and timelines and we were happy to go ahead. Many other firms quoted for the project at a shorter timeframe or lower cost but were unwilling to go into the detail & time in the quotation phase that Tony provided. We were therefore happy to go ahead with FCE as we felt we trusted Tony to deliver on commitments.

The planning process was simple with FCE and we received planning approval so the build could start in July (a month earlier than originally scheduled).

Over the course of the build FCE provided all teams for demolition, brick laying, roofing/joinery, plumbing, electrics & plastering. Interaction with these groups was easy and importantly the quality of the work excellent throughout. This approach took a lot of stress away for us as we did not need to worry about arranging/organising these tradesmen.

AJ was our customer service manager and he provided us with weekly updates on the project plan. He was our first contact for any queries and issues over the course of the build. AJ was fantastic in solving problems for us and addressing any concerns we had through the build. He was always responsive and having him available meant we could avoid chasing up specific tradesmen if there was a problem.

The build was completed in November just before the arrival of our baby boy which was a huge relief. The quality of work was excellent and any final snags no matter how small have been dealt with quickly. Project was delivered on budget as per the quote provided by Tony.

We have already recommended FCE to a neighbour on our road and we would definitely choose them again for any future house extension works. We are so pleased with our new space and the work completed by FCE which added a garage, playroom, extended 3rd bedroom & new 4th bedroom. The project has transformed our house into a home that we can grow into and enjoy as a family of 4.

Thank you Tony & FCE team for doing an amazing job and delivering on your commitments - we are so pleased with the finished piece and that we trusted you with the project!

First Choice Extensions took on our refurb project when most other builders were struggling to manage their materials and resources. Their professional approach and bigger in-house team meant they had the resource and expertise to deliver the project and solve issues.

When you take on a building project, things are bound to go wrong. But when they did, we never doubted the team’s commitment to make it right and they always did.

In the end, we have ended up with a showroom quality space that we will enjoy for many years to come and will work with FCE on our next project.

We recently had a single storey side extension built which gave us a much bigger kitchen, utility room and downstairs WC.
We have never had any experience of having house renovations and when Tony came round and talked us through it, it really put our mind at ease.
The quotation was easy to understand, no hidden costs and any potential extras highlighted upfront.
Throughout the build the service was extremely professional with regular updates on progress from AJ, our customer service manager.
Any snags that highlighted along the way were quickly rectified with a big thanks to Leon for going above and beyond to meet our expectations.
All builders, electricians, joiners and plumbers were really friendly, tidy and considerate whilst on site. Having an extention is always going to be stressful but FCE do everything they can to make the experience as stress free as possible.
We are delighted with the extension and have recommended the company to friends and family.

First Choice extensions
We had a 3m x 6m single story extension. We had great communication from start to finish. The quote we had at the beginning of the job never changed. We are over the moon with the finished result. Thanks to AJ and the team.

FC Extensions have grown a lot in the last year since we previously used them (for a big double extension), and I knew they were a lot busier than they were previously, however, I reached out to Tony and his team to construct a “pub” in our back garden. Brick build, exposed brick interior, brick bar built.

Despite how busy they were, they clearly valued repeat business and flexed their resources to fit us in quickly. Tony was on hand again to provide a very reasonable price (similar prices to wood builds we have had quoted) and the project got going.

I knew what to expect this time round but that didn’t stop the team explaining and being with us every step of the way to provide reassurance. There is an expanded team in place now, so some new faces, but Billy and AJ are great additions to their senior team and treated us perfectly - regular comms throughout the whole thing.

It’s now complete and our final pub build is perfect - we are the envy of the neighbourhood just in time for the Euros.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FC to anyone at all and I regularly do to anyone who asks. I’ve heard some nightmare stories in the past with some builders and yet for the second time round, we again had not a single complaint.

Phenomenal company and team.

We had a Upvc patio sliding door fitted by First Choice Extensions but to do this they were required to install a galvanised steel box section beam and 2 concrete lintels. The whole process was carried out in a professional and tidy manner. The communication with the various managers was first rate. The guys doing the work were knowledgable ,did a great job and cleaned up each day. We are very happy with the work and end result and would recomend them to anyone wanting an extension or similar work done.

Very professional set up, would strongly recommend and definitely use again.

Planning process - this stage was excellent, from the useful cost guide tool on the First Choice website to the initial meetings with Tony and his team to plan the work, all went very smoothly. Any questions were quickly dealt with and we received plans and had follow up meetings arranged in very good time. Felt very confident about the work and the abilities of Tony’s team who were very friendly as well.

Build - the build itself also went smoothly and ran on time and costs came in as planned. On the whole the building team were professional and friendly and we are delighted with the end result.

We had first choice convert a detached garage into a home office & utility room following a recommendation from a neighbour.

Despite being a relatively small job compared to an extension, we got a professional job and team complete with Project Manager and QA Manager and experienced tradespeople. The supporting team made it really easy to communicate with First Choice and be kept informed throughout the work making it a relaxed and stress free job.

Throughout the conversion we had quality tradespeople who were all passionate about doing quality work with an attention to detail and a polished finish - never cutting corners or taking the easy option. Even with simple jobs like tidying the site was done for a quality finish, not a quick finish.

First Choice also excelled themselves in their flexibility - we changed the scope of the job a couple of times with additional work or upgrading specs and they accommodated this brilliantly.

A great team doing a great job at the right price. Thanks again!

Excellent finish for replacing our facings, soffits and gutters. Totally professional team and we really appreciated the post job check up by AJ to see we were happy.
Well done and definitely recommend

From start to finish firstchoice were amazing any problems were dealt with and they gave me all the guidance on my first property flip! I could not recommend them highly enough for the work carried out which was to a very high standard.

We had our living room plastered and new doors installed. There was a delay with the plasterers which was swiftly rectified. We are very happy with the work carried out and would recommended First Choice.

Following a start with another builder in July 2020, we were let down with no roof at the rear of the house.
We contacted Tony at First Choice, who fitted us in his busy schedule with an autumn start date. The first priority for ourselves was to be watertight and correcting the mistakes from the previous builder. We had teams of bricklayers, roofers, joiners, electricians, plasterers, tilers, plumber. as well as a site services manger. Due to Autumn / Winter weather this caused some delays also with Christmas shutdown. We felt that all but one the trades were friendly and professional and did us proud on getting our extension completed, It was organised well in the way that each trade started and finished, as we were fitted around the other job schedules. The final plumbing, electrics and plasterers finished during February 2021 and we have been working with AJ to deal with the final sign off. From our Experience we found this a professional, well organised builder who you could discuss your build with and would aim to meet your expectations. We are very happy with the finished Home renovation.

First Choice Extensions is a really well organised company.
Everyone knows their job and does it well, the project manager, the bricklayer, the plasterers, the joiners, the electrician ... everyone.
At each stage in the work I was told what to expect and when to expect it. At no stage was I let down and in fact some the work was finished ahead of schedule.
The Project Manager liaised with the Building Control Inspector so that there were no problems.
I couldn't be more pleased with the finished conversion. I am a really satisfied customer and heartily recommend First Choice Extensions.
