Home Renovation – Location: Colchester, Essex
We have recently have had some renovation work done by Lexden Builders Ltd. Steve Friend and his team always behaved in a professional manner, they were hard working, polite and above all had a great can do attitude no problem being unsolvable. Their time keeping and attention to detail was excellent. In the time they were with us they have totally transformed our home and garden far beyond our expectations. We would definitely recommend Lexden Builders Ltd to our friends and family.

New Patio & Steps – Location: Lexden, Colchester, Essex
I have now used Lexden Builders twice now and on both occasions I have been delighted with the results. The first time to was rectify and resolve issues with cracks in the original render on the house exterior, hardie plank most of the existing house and feature brick copings to all of the windows which was all completed to a very high standard.
The most recent occasion was to extend the patio, replace the existing concrete patio slabs and to build two steps down from the house to the patio.
Steve arranged a date and time to visit and review the required work. Steve’s input during his visit was essential in guiding us to make the right decisions for type of paving to use and the correct height of the steps from the house down to the patio.
I have nothing but praise for the professionalism and helpfulness of the Lexden Builders team, who undertook the work to build the steps and lay the patio. The guys made sure I was fully comfortable with the height of the step from the house, down on to the patio. They also gave great advice on choosing the correct brick for the base of the step that would blend in with the existing brickwork. In addition, Steve would visit each morning and review progress of the works with the team.
At the end of the work the team ensured that everything was clean and tidy, which was much appreciated.
I have no hesitation whatsoever, in recommending Lexden Builders and will certainly be happy to use them in the future. Many thanks for a fantastic and professional job.

Just a quick note Steve to praise the excellent transformation that you and your highly efficient and friendly team have made to our house. We have lived in our old Victorian house for 15 years and the 20 years before that it was a bedsit property. Therefore it was as tired and rundown a house as you can imagine from outside. All of the 15 years that we have lived here we have hated the front of the house…….. Not anymore!!! Your team have transformed it amazingly, from the brick repair to the repointing to the new front door and gate it has really brought the house back to life and probably looks better than when it was brand new. We are now really proud of it and love looking at it. We have had so many complimentary comments as well from passers-by and neighbours
The internal plastering, new wooden floor and new lighting just adds to this and really gives the wow factor. Just need the weather to improve now so we can enjoy BBQ’s on the fantastic new decking in the back garden.
We would be happy to recommend you and your firm to anybody, great workmanship from great professionals who were always conscious it was a family home and worked around us always with a smile on their face, and cleaned up well at the end of each day which kept Ruth happy.

Steve organised the building of a new extension at our home. He was professional from start to finish. All the workmen that attended the site were always on time, efficient, hardworking very polite, I never heard one of them swear and they even drank the tea I made. I cannot praise them highly enough and if we ever need another extension, I will go straight to Steve.

Front Boundary Wall to a Listed House – Location: Colchester, Essex
I recently had a front wall built by Steve Friend which was completed on time and was competitively priced. Steve and his team managed the job with minimal disruption and cleaned up on a daily basis. I was highly satisfied with the quality of their work which was over and above my expectations. Considering this was work on a Listed Building the quality had to be excellent and it was.
Because of the nature of the work the requirements changed on a daily basis and these were efficiently accommodated by the skilled workforce. It was actually a pleasure in having them around.
Hardly a day passed when the builders were not complimented on their work by those walking by and I was continually asked whether I would recommend Steve’s Company. I have no hesitation in doing so.

Have used Steve Friend at Lexden Builders Ltd several times, and have been most satisfied. Also several friends have used them on my recommendation, and been equally satisfied. They are friendly helpful and efficient. Their pricing is competitive and they do everything possible to honour appointments and deadlines. They built a wall to the front and side boundary of my property, with which we are very pleased, many people passing by have requested the name of the builder involved.

We are very happy with our new wall. It looks great on its own and in addition sets off our house beautifully. We very much appreciated Steve’s advice on the height, and on the colour and type of materials used.
