We have used Affordable Building Projects for various works on our house and have always found them to be very reliable. We used ABP again this month to handle installing new windows and doors as well as repairs to woodwork and guttering at the front of the house. The work was well done and on time, (despite the vagaries of the weather!) and at a reasonable price. Very satisfied, and we’ll certainly use them again for our next project!

If you’re looking for a team of builders who competent, professional and courteous then look no further. I was skeptical at first with getting builders in after hearing all the horror stories about cowboys etc. I had few local firms around to give me quotes on a wall knock-through, a damp proof course and floor laying and none of them filled me with any confidence. I then had Kirk around to give me a quote and I received a full detailed quote , breaking down what work would be carried out, fully costed with UK. Also offered kind advice on the options I was considering with the work. I agreed and Kirk and the team arrived exactly when they said they would (in fact 15 minutes early!). Totally professional and I left them to get on with the job. They finished on time (not like some other firms who will turn up in fits and spurts, disappear and complete jobs whenever they can be bothered). They were also very accommodating with last minute adjustments to the job spec without any issues or delays, adjustments which I myself made mid-way through the job. The best part is the actual the quality of the work. All the plaster was finished to a very high standard and the flooring was just as impressive. The wall knock-through and steel support beam was fitted to local Council building regulations and they tidied up and left the whole place clean and tidy when they finished. Its almost like they were never here! If you want a professional, courteous and friendly team with all the skills and expertise then look no further, I’ll be using them again when I come to replacing my knackered roof!

2024

I contacted Kirk after finding his details on theABPwebsite. From the start Kirk was really professional and very knowledgeable. I felt confident that the work would be carried out to a high standard. Kirk made the process easy and was very efficient. I received the quote and all paperwork when promised. Everything was carried out within the agreed times scales to an excellent standard. All of the staff were professional, very helpful and they ensured everything was cleaned up at the end of each day so we had as little disruption as possible. I would highly recommend Kirk and we will will definitely be using him again

2024

My brick wall was badly “bellying out” above two windows at the side of my house. Kirk came to assess the work and assured me that removal of offending brickwork and replacing lintels would solve the problem, and the work would take about 2-3 days. His team, Kev and Steve arrived on time at the arranged dates and were very hard working and also very polite and helpful if I needed to ask any questions. When the work was finished, they left the area in which they had worked in an exceptionally clean state. I hope the work will prove to be successful, but as far as I can see, it looks good. I would recommend Kirk, Kev and Steve to anyone who has a brickwork structural problem.

2024

Kirk and his team took on a job for us a few months ago. Kirk provided a detailed quote and also took the time to explain the works programme to me even before confirming the works to go ahead. The works were carried out in a timely manor and were of a high standard. Kirk remained in contact post completion of the work. Kirk ticked every box throughout the process.

2024

We contacted as their website stated that they were able to do both damp proofing and structural work to make our living room and dining room an all through room. From initial contact, communication from the company was great and all emails/texts were always responded to quickly. They were flexible and were able to add on a few additional requirements from us as the work was done. We are very pleased with the end result and would use again.

Excellent service from start to finish. Would highly recommend the team at Affordable Building Projects for their efficiency and professionalism. Great job, thank you.

2024

Structural crack ties fitted. Whilst this was only a small job with which I am happy, as equally important to me is effective, prompt communication and reliability which was excellent. From initial enquiry to completion of the work, took three working days. It is so refreshing to deal with a company who actually do what they say they will do, when they say they will do it. I would definitely use this company again.

2024

Kirk was quick to respond to my initial enquiry and his site visit was professional, friendly and authoritative. The team’s work on site was similarly efficient and thorough. Everything was explained to me clearly and I never felt bamboozled by technical language. The job was completed over two days and the site was left clean and tidy. The invoice was sent to me later that day, it contained very clear detail of what the job was and what I was paying for. The price was very reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending Kirk and his team.

2024

Everything you could wish for from a building company. Kirk was quick to arrange a visit, provide a quote and answer any concerns we had before deciding to go ahead.  The team were efficient, kept us involved of any issues and were quick to alter plans when needed without fuss. Hard working guys with attention to detail, work finished to a high standard and everything left tidy when the job was finished. I would recommend this company for all aspects of building work and look forward to using them for future projects.

2024

Affordable Building Projects did the conversion of our integral garage into a new family room + a utility room extension, and did a brilliant job fitting the new floor, insulating the walls and providing power and light sockets, extending the central heating into the new space, installing double-glazed windows/door, and fitting very nice vinyl tiling in the utility extension. They also created a new base for our tall fridge and moved it into in the kitchen, and replaced various kitchen units, and fitted the attic with mesh under the eaves to keep wildlife out. The whole project was done quickly and competently, the team was friendly, a formal completion certificate was provided, and the overall price was very reasonable indeed. I would certainly recommend this firm and use them again – in fact we have already used them again for building work in our back garden, and plan to do so again. Highly recommended!

2024

From first to last contact with ABP I have been impressed. From Kirk’s quote to the onsite work – all has been professional, reliable, and customer oriented! Everything was explained in layman’s terms, communication was good, they did what they said they would do – and more. They also did it when they said they would do it. Friendly, approachable, clean, tidy and no surprises – and that extended to the final invoice too! Minor snagging was handled swiftly and professionally too. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised at how easy the team made everything for me, minimising the not inconsiderable upheaval – all I can say is thank you very much guys, and I will have no hesitation in using your services again, and indeed recommending you to others.

2024

I found it really difficult making progress with some structural work that I needed doing in my house until I came across Affordable Building Projects. The team were very refreshingly reliable – always arrived at agreed times and kept me really well updated throughout process. Quick to give a detailed quote which was very reasonable compared with others. Delighted with the work done, area left clean and tidy. Very professional service. Really grateful to Kirk and the team for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

2024

Everyone I spoke to was friendly and professional. They helped advise on the work and got it done quickly at an affordable price. Would use again.

I would recommend Affordable Building Projects of Liverpool. They were quick to respond to my enquiry and completed the structural work an installation of a structural support on a redundant chimney breast in my house in good time. They also took care of the Building Regulations application for me and arranged for the inspection at the conclusion of the work. Many thanks to Kirk and the team for a job well done.

2024

Kirk and his team were professional, efficient and provided an excellent service from first phone call to job completion. I am so grateful of his workmanship and extensive knowledge. Thank you.

2024

I engaged Affordable Building Projects to carry out a very tricky structural alteration Barn Conversion Project in Prescot Lancashire which will be my future home. The job involved the threading of a 3.6m long structural steel beam through internal multiple rooms and the cutting out of the internal ‘skin’ of an existing 9″ wall to conserve and support the external sandstone lintels on the ‘toe’ of the beam. There were two other 3.1m long UBs to fit in very tight internal spaces. I have been involved as a QS in the execution of hundreds of commercial construction contracts over the last 30 years and am aware of the technical difficulty and skill required for this particularly difficult type of work. I must compliment Kirk Smith and his lads on a superb job to a first class finish, the Architect and Structural Engineer are similarly impressed as is the Building Inspector. The quoted price was competitive and the the execution was faultless. 100% recommended.

2024

I am very satisfied with by the structural building work the Affordable Building Projects team carried out. I booked a visit online, Kirk arrived on the day and time agreed, I found it very easy to discuss the project with him and agree the scope. Later that same day he sent me a written and detailed quote. After confirming that I wanted them to go ahead Kirk came back to take precise measurements and once I paid the 25% deposit within a week they came to do the work. They were competent and clearly committed to do a good job. So yes I am glad to have entrusted ABP with my work and will call on them again.

We had a load bearing wall knock through, 2 fire places opened to the original lintel and a bricked in 1930’s Yorkist oven removed to open up the chimney to its original lintel. The communication with the team was speedy and didn’t require any chasing from us, making the project really easy to coordinate with our other work. The job was done in 2 days and the lads checked the progress with me throughout to ensure I was happy and that there was no miscommunication. Building inspection and skips were smoothly organised and team ensured they were tidy throughout the job. Care was also taken not to damage original victorian features. The lads on the job worked hard, so much so that I didn’t even notice if they stopped for lunch!

2024

Affordable building projects were great from start to finish. The communication and advice was excellent, making sure the worm carried out was going to be structurally sound

2024

Affordable Building Projects did my wall knock through between the living rooms and I have to say the whole process was professional and pain-free. Kirk got back to me following my quote request and organised a convenient time to come out and quote. He was punctual and explained everything clearly (I am a complete novice to all building works). The price was very fair and so I booked in promptly. Kevin and Steve did the works on the day; they were professional, knowledgeable and cleaned up after the job was done. ABP sorted everything from the council inspection, the skip hire, the steel frame works, and Kirk was always on hand via text or email to answer all my questions. I wholly recommend Affordable Building Projects for all your building/structural work. I was a little apprehensive when setting out on my project – having heard horror stories about cowboy builders. You can definitely trust Affordable Building Projects to get all your jobs done to a high standard.

2024

What can I say, an absolute outstanding performance by ABP. Came on time each day and performand 5 star quality. Made the whole experience very relaxing you just knew you where in safe hands. From the management to the the lads on site the whole process was very stress free. Can’t wait to work with these builders again. A 5 star experience and would highly recommend.

2024

Kirk and his team did a great job on lintel over my door had great communication with Kirk and they did a great cleanup when they finished

2024

Guys!!!!! I selected randomly this builder site affordable building centre Best ever things I have done so far Wow great works great amazing Professional guys high skilled workers trustful genuine company I highly recommend Thanks guys love u all

2024

Kirk and his team were 100% reliable, punctual and carried out the work leaving the job clean and tidy after each day. Kirk arranged the Building Reg visit to get the work signed off. Highly recommend and would definitely use again in the future! Thanks for a great job

2024

Really impressed with these guys. Straight talking, practical, really nice. Kirk who came round to see the the chimney stack and loft was great, clearly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. ABP site workers who took the chimney out were efficient, friendly and worked really cleanly, when they came to install the RSJ they were great. All involved did a solid job. They are all experienced and practical people. No problems whatsoever, the result was fantastic. I would recommend them all without hesitation. Well done and thanks, gents!

2024

ABP removed our downstairs chimney breast. Also, our lounge extension had wall supports plus a beam along the ceiling which made it look like it was separated from the main room. The company removed these and put the appropriate supports for the back wall of the house above in the walls and ceiling so we now have a real, spacious through lounge. From start to finish the job was done very professionally and efficient: initial site visit, detailed estimate, visit by the structural surveyor so he could do his drawings and calculations to submit to Building Control, visit by the foreman before starting the actual job. The work was carried out and finished to a high standard while we were being kept well informed. They were very tidy, cleaning up at the end of each day. We are very pleased with everything and have already recommended them to friends.

2024

Excellent service! All works carried out quickly and most of all tidy. Will use again!!

2024

Recently had lintel work done. We can Highly recommend Affordable Building Projects, Kirk was happy to come out to view the work in person, most other builders wanted pictures on-line. We got honest, clear advice & a full quotation for the work, which reflected Affordable Building Project’s name. The team were reliable, friendly and the work completed to a very high standard. Efficient and clean, all debris cleared. Would certainly use this service in the future and have recommended to friends and family.

2024

We have had a lintel replaced above a downstairs window by ABP. We contacted Affordable Building Projects knowing they were based in Liverpool and expecting an unable to do response. What a pleasant surprise Kirk contacted us immediately and within a couple of hours the contract for the work was placed. No mention of current difficulties or that we were in South Manchester. Kirk informed us that the site foreman would undertake the work. On the arranged day the site foreman arrived with a site operator and replaced the lintel. From start to finish an excellent service from friendly practical people. A sincere thank you to all and will certainly recommend you.

2024

Would definitely recommend using Affordable Building Projects. The price was competitive, the team were friendly, tidy and worked hard. Communication throughout the project was excellent.

2024

I called Kirk for a quote for wall to be removed. He was very professional, excellent customer care, kind, and his team respected my property, as they cleaned and removed all material and rubbish after work. I highly recommend Kirk and his team, and I will definitely use them again. Thank you Kirk!

2024

The work to open up the chimney was carried out professionally and with care. When a problem arose with plans which had been provided by a third party the builders identified the problem and agreed revisions to ensure the work was completed safely and to a revised specification. This action showed both their knowledge and skills and commitment to ensure the job was done correctly and to an high standard. I would not hesitate to use this company again and am happy to recommend them.

2024

I really can’t rate ABP highly enough! The company were outstanding on every level and I’m so glad I chose them to do my lounge/kitchen/hall knock- through to create an open-plan space at my house. From the initial contact with them through to completion of the project they were absolutely exceptional. The preliminary consultation was thorough, informative and inspired confidence and their responses to queries/communication throughout were always prompt and helpful. Their quotation was detailed, concise and offered a very competitive price. The actual work was executed very professionally, skilfully and quickly with minimum disruption by the very pleasant and friendly team who also left the place very tidy upon completion. The standard of work, value for money and general approach and professionalism were all faultless. I would definitely use ABP again for future projects and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to have structural work done.

2024

ABP  did a great job on my construction project. From doing the work itself to a high standard, raising queries to the structural engineer to being considerate to my neighbours (work undertaken in an apartment), the team conducted themselves professionally and worked hard to overcome unforseen obstacles thrown up by the property being old and resistant to change. Very happy with the immediate results.

2024

I messaged Kirk at ABP with a structural issue with a removed chimney breast that had been flagged during my building survey. Kirk responded quickly and his site foreman came out to assess the issue and measure up. The whole job was done within a week with building regs all being sorted by ABP. Kirk gave a fair price and even amended it lower as the job changed slightly. Would deffo recommend and use again

2024

Kirk and the team were brilliant. Offered loads of options and and did a fantastic job.

2024

Fair price guys always on time , good updated from office , offered after care service as well once other jobs are complete – would defo recommend them .

2024

We had two walls removed and steels put up in our house and we are so happy with the work carried out by the lads at ABP. From initial quoting right through to completion they have been helpful and professional. They handled everything from structural engineering calcs to building control certification. And most importantly the quality of the work is amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

2024

A very efficient service all round. We had some structural cracks in the brickwork on the house. I am always apprehensive when it comes to builders, but from the initial visit through to completion Kirk and the team kept me informed of what work was required and how it was to be done. It may have been a small job to them but a big job to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Abp to all who need a friendly and prompt service.

2024

From the offset, Kirk was very professional, friendly and efficient. Works were completed promptly and to a high standard. Thank you!

2024

Had a structural beam replacement in a load bearing wall completed by ABP. From first contact to completion I found Kirk to be professional in all aspects of communication, very knowledgeable and reassuring. On installation day Kevin and Steve were punctual, hard working, clean tidy, polite and respectful of my home. I’m more than pleased with the work carried out by ABP, would highly recommend and definitely use again. Kirk, Kevin, Steve, thank you.

2024

No nonsense building company Kirk worked around structural plans I already had designed for the removal of a really ugly off centre chimney breast. ABP worked really professionally and the 2 days they were there left the job very tidy couldn’t have asked for more the costing of the job was very fair and Kirk handled everything from building control through to skip hire I didn’t have to lift a finger which was very pleasing 😁wouldn’t hesitate recommending APB to any person wanting structural work completing to a high standard. Pleasure doing business with APB Thanks again guys 👍👍

2024

Affordable Building Projects Work description: Structural Beam Replacement in Load Bearing Wall between the kitchen and the back room. Kirk Smith from Affordable Building Projects came out to quote for the job and I have to say I was confident, I wanted them to do the job by the time he left. Kirk, quoted for the whole job including all fees for the Structural Engineer and the Local Council Building Regulations. They did the job within 2 days and the following day after it was finished, the Council Passed the Job. I really cannot recommend Affordable Building Projects enough, from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Chris

2024

Not only the structural work that the team have done on the house was of high standard, but was also great to have them around. We had few bumps on the way with our plans, due to these being quite ambitious and the house being an old terraced house (found few quirks here and there), but Kirk and his team have been super helpful at any step of the way, allowing us to end up exactly with what we planned (which was not to take for granted). They were great at coming up with solutions on the way, and it really felt they took part on our project from the beginning. We would definitely recommend them.

2024

Kirk and the team were really efficient and tidy and installed our steels so neatly that they can be left exposed within our kitchen area. They openly explained the process to us as the works were going ahead and even came up with simpler solutions to what we had planned where they could. They cleared the site after removing the load bearing walls and pouring new foundations and took care to protect the rest of the property the whole time they were working. Could not recommend them more.

2024

Affordable building projects completed a load bearing wall / living room dining room wall knock through for me. The work was completed quickly and affordable building projects dealt with the structural engineer and building regulations for me, one less job for me to do. Would recommend!

2024

Found ABP ON Pams Ties website after various phone calls and getting no replies Kirk promptly phoned back and arranged a site visit for survey ABP arranged structural engineer and building control After some alterations to original plan and agreed with building control the job was started and managed by his site foreman on site Ground work and new steels put in place to make my kitchen open plan ABP managed and completed the work in a professional manner It was good to find a contractor who replied to my enquiry and willing to take on a job that had its challenges but did not phase ABP I would highly recommend ABP

2024

Quote given quickly and kept up to date with schedule of works to be done. Workers were courteous and site was kept tidy Great job done, building inspector happy Would use again .

2024

Carried out steel installation for extension and knock through. Talked and checked through plans. Explained everything clearly. Punctual. Tidied up at the end of every day. Kept us up to date with different stages and timelines. Completed the works within the time frame they advised they would. Would highly recommend ABP.

2024

What an absolutely fantastic job the lads have done. From first interaction with Kirk, to him and his team ensuring I was fully up to date of what the plans were and explaining things in a way that was neither patronising or too technical, just honest and open about what needed to be done to remedy someone else’s poor work. It was a pleasure to have them working on the house, they are genuinely nice guys and so hard working. They certainly put a lot of other tradesmen to shame! Thank you.

2024

Very professional and friendly experience throughout. Job was completed very quickly and at a reasonable price that I was happy with. Any questions I had were always answered clearly and quickly. Thanks for all your hard work

2024

Really happy with the level of professionalism shown during my building work. Work finished on time even though we had some queries with our Engineer – all works completed satisfactorily in conjunction with Building Regs with good communication. Thank you ABP !

2024

Affordable Building Projects completed a quality job, on time and at a good price. Their communication and quality of work was very good. I would engage Affordable Building Projects again. We engaged Affordable Building Projects to support a chimney with an inverted gallows bracket, removal of a hearth in two bedrooms and repair of the bedroom floor. In addition, they handled the Building Regulations application to Liverpool City Council. We had a survey completed by a structural engineer and sent that to Affordable Building Projects to execute. It was easy to deal with them both on the phone and by email They provided a date which work would begin and they kept to that date The work went well, it was executed efficiently and competently. The workers who did the job were friendly. They tidied up at the end and the bracket looked neatly installed. At the end of the project we received the Building Control completion certificate

2024

The lintel work carried out by Affordable Building Projects was of a very high standard. Affordable Building Projects were punctual, hardworking, efficient, polite and friendly and left everything clean and tidy. The communication with Kirk was excellent, everything handled very professionally. The price we were quoted was amended to a lower figure as the work involved had changed slightly. I would highly recommend ABP. Thank you.

2024

Kirk came from Affordable Building Projects to do the quote. He explained what needed to be done and why better than previous builders who had looked at the job. Affordable Building Projects then came out to carry out the works. The quality of work (structural repairs in our loft) was excellent and they did any excellent job of preparing the area and minimising any mess or disruption. In fact, it was almost impossible to tell that they’d been. Communication was prompt, efficient, and clear. Amazing work, thank you!

2024

Kirk contacted me quickly after I left a message about my job. He came and explained professionally what needed to be done. Kirk always responded to phone calls or emails and kept me up to date when the job could be started. The lads who came did a good job. It was a tricky job were a large crack had opened up in the brickwork after a window was fitted. Thank to Kirk the Lads who did repair for an excellent service

2024

Our experience with the team was great. The builders were extremely professional, obviously very competent, and were great at communicating what was happening. We also appreciated that they focused on every part of the structural engineer’s calculations to ensure they were carrying out the work correctly and to the highest possible standard.

2024

Kirk and team provided a really great service from start to finish. Came to quote for work and had their people out by the next day. Friendly company who did a really great job.

I have no hesitation in recommending the ABP team. They completed a knock through between our kitchen and dining room inserting a steel support beam. Where other contractors saw obstacles Kevin saw solutions. The team turned up on time,got on with the job and just worked away quietly. Pleasant characters who showed total respect for our home and cleaned up afterwards. Communication before and during was reliable and reassuring. We had complete confidence in their ability and have already recommended them to other family members.

2024

Completely faultless service. There was so much attention taken from the initial check/quote right the way through to the end of the project. I can’t thank the entire team enough for their speedy, detailed and professional help. Would 100% recommend

2024

Kirk and his team did a great job removing my full chimney breast, despite hitting a snag early on which was entirely down to 1950’s Council builders. We got back on track within a few days and everything else went really smoothly. The guys talked me through each stage giving me confidence to leave them to get on with it. Kirk visited on the last day to check the work and make sure I was happy too. I’d not hesitate to 2024

The Affordable Building Projects team, were truly professional throughout. Great standard of work carried out, on a structural knock through. Would certainly recommend.

2024

Very professional, arrived on time, hard working and understanding. Extremely happy with the finished result.

2024

2024

These guys were great to work with. It was a bit hard for us as we are currently in another city whilst renovating our house, however these guys were so understanding and nothing was too much bother. We had two walls knocked through and it was all completed within a week, from setting up, cleaning up and sorting everything through building control which was helpful as we would not have a clue. The job from start to finish went so smoothly and would highly recommend this company to anybody who is looking for structural works on their house.

2024

Exceptional end to end professional service! went out of their way to be helpful on all matters;great attention to detail on the scope of works, quote and costings breakdown-this level of transparency and customer focus is rare across trades in my experience but very appreciated. Really helpful , honest and trustworthy team-Would use again and happy to recommend them to others.

2024

We struggled to find a competent contractor to carry out our works. Back propping, install 7m long structural steel to the rear of the house and remove the rear wall. ABP guided us through the process, advised on a best approach. They completed the works on programme. They were clean, polite and extremely helpful. We didn’t worry for one minute that things wouldn’t go as the team explained. Fantastic service, would highly recommend

2024

Very pleased with the work the ABP team , led by Kevin did on our small semi. An RSJ was installed after load bearing wall removed, together with removing a rear door and bricking up the opening. Two lintels also installed. I was expecting a lot of disruption to the adjoining room where one end of the rsj was supported, but Kevin and his team minimised this to a small patch on the very upper part of the wall , with none on the adjoining ceiling. If you need any RSJ’s installed – can recommend the ABP team.

2024
