Reviews

4.8

Many reviews praise Waseem and the team for quick renovation work, communication and value, with positive accounts of kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and conversions. A dormer customer reports roof-finish concerns resolved amicably. Critical reviews describe poor detailing, damage, an unhelpful quoting call and a late start. A September 2026 reviewer reports a project stretching from two to seven months, difficult communication, faulty gas work and a leak, damaged kitchen fittings, defective roofing and rats entering the loft. They describe repair and pest-control costs, uncleared waste and damaged gardens, and a disputed outstanding roof payment with threatened court action. The same reviewer acknowledges eventual good structural work and reimbursement for kitchen doors.

Kw&S undertook internal building works (garage extension and removal of internal walls) for us in South Manchester which was completed this year. We went with this company because it had good reviews on Google and this experience has made us aware of the importance of writing accurate reviews. I have done my best to give a balanced unbiased review here. Pros -As far as structural building work goes, KW&S eventually did the work to good quality and compliant with regulations. Cons -The cost of the work was around twice as much as some of the companies quoted. -The workers appeared at our property on average 2-3 days a week max. We assume they were working at other sites the rest of the time. Consequently, the work that we were told would take 2 months ended up taking 7 months. My family was confined to our tiny room in the granny flat during this time. - The Director of the company was not contactable during the time that the work was being done, despite seeming quite charming before the contract was signed. We had to chase him with multiple text messages and phone calls. This caused unnecessary anxiety for my family and me. -  Whilst most of the building work was reasonable, I wouldn't recommend KW&S for other works eg kitchen installation, gas and electric works and roofing. - The gas works done by KW&S were faulty and luckily a plumber noticed the smell of a gas leak before our house exploded. The gas board had to close off our street for 2 weeks to fix it. We dread to think what could have transpired if the leak had not been spotted in time! - Our kitchen installation was faulty and the kitchen doors were damaged by the workers. We had to order new ones, but thankfully KW&S did eventually cover this cost. - The roofing done on our extension was a bit of a mess and many of the tiles fell off. The Director of KW&S is still invoicing us for the remaining £1550 for the roof, but it cost us £1600 to repair, so I've refused to pay this. I have now received threats from the Company that the Director wants to take us to court, despite explanations that we had to have the work done again. - There were defects in the roof, which allowed rats to get into our loft. The rats chewed away our insulation. We subsequently had to pay the council £300 to remove this rat infestation. - After the workers left, they did not clean up their mess. Our front and back gardens were ruined and we had to make several trips to our dumpyard to get rid of their mess. **In summary, please avoid being ripped off and having faulty and dangerous work done to your house as well as the emotional stress that comes with working with KW&S. We don't  want anyone else to go through the same experience as us

I would like to thank Waseem and his team for all the work that they have done for me. I got a chimney breast removed, full renovation on my kitchen and bathroom. I was really pleased with the work done and the speed at which they completed every job.

KWS Builders completed a loft conversion with dormer for us in summer 2024. They worked to schedule and were clean and tidy in their approach. We were very happy with the finish of the work internally, which looks excellent. They created a fantastic double-winder staircase for us. We had some concerns about the final finish on the roof, but we discussed this with KWS and the issue was resolved amicably. We were always extremely grateful for the quality of communication with KWS, and their commitment to ensuring we were happy with the work. Overall the job was excellent value and we would recommend them wholeheartedly.
