Alison Webber2022-12-08Fantastic experience, first class job. Chris is a true professional, a perfectionist with a great eye for detail who worked with me to bring my, at times demanding, plans to life. Home improvements, especially building work, can be a stressful process but with Chris; it was great. He's a pleasure to have around, is the most clean and tidy builder and respected my home in every way. He prices fairly and is completely transparent about all costs. I cannot recommend First Choice Conversions highly enough. My old garage is now a stylish and useful addition to my living space.Christopher Goodman2022-11-06We found Chris through a recommendation and viewing one of his conversions. Project Description: Chris converted our large single garage blocking off the main garage door and leaving the front of the property unchanged; he installed a window for light and created an internal entrance to access the space from the house. Plaster finish ready for decorating. Chris also installed our wooden flooring. Project time: 4 weeks. From the beginning of the process to the end, Chris was polite, focused and had great attention to detail; what we liked was his approach to problem-solving when something wasn't as expected to find a solution. Most Important, we always felt looked after and at ease with him in our home. Chris works on his own and takes full ownership of the build; he works with a trusted certified electrician, plumber, and plasterer for the tasks he does not do himself. The garage conversion was generally straightforward overall, we had some complexities around retaining access internally for boiler maintenance, but Chris approached this methodically and came up with a suitable solution to the problem. The project needed little intervention day-to-day and was delivered on budget. Chris discussed all aspects along the way and gave us options when needed regarding light placements, number of plugs, window size etc. We are delighted with the conversion; we wish we had done it years ago; the space is great! The finish is to an excellent standard, and overall we were super pleased with hiring Chris to do our job and the outcome! If I needed a conversion, I would have him work for me again without hesitation in recommending his services to anyone.Lucy Weston2022-08-14Many thanks to Chris and all at First Choice Conversions - we were absolutely delighted with the end result of our garage conversion and the high quality of the workmanship throughout. Chris kept the site super-tidy at all times and ensured the project was painless for us from start to finish. He is extremely personable and knowledgeable and consistently communicated excellently on all aspects of the build throughout. Chris always went above and beyond and we would highly recommend First Choice Conversions to anyone thinking of having a garage conversion done. In fact, we were so impressed with Chris's work, that we asked him back a few months later to refurbish our bathroom. His attention to detail was impeccable and nothing was too much trouble. We were also confident leaving our house key with Chris, whilst we went away for a few days. Thank you so much to Chris and First Choice Conversions, for giving us an extremely high-end, new bathroom, at a very competitive price. We are extremely happy with all the work undertaken and have highly recommended First Choice Conversions to various friends and neighbours, looking for garage conversions/bathroom refurbs. Mr. & Mrs. A Weston, EssexCharlotte Goldhagen2022-07-29We have been stung previously with builders so we were very apprehensive to start new work but Chris has totally restored our faith in quality professional tradesmen. Chris was always very clear with his communication throughout the job and worked alongside us listening to our needs and wants whilst always keeping building regulations in mind. He worked within our budget and there was never any hidden costs. He was always on time and worked clean, never leaving a mess. Chris is very personable and friendly which made us feel totally comfortable with him being in and around the family home especially given our two young children. We are over the moon with our double garage conversion, it has exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank him enough. We will definitely be using Chris again. If you are looking for a builder, look no further than him!Anthony Luke2022-07-27We are really pleased with the Work undertaken by First Choice Conversions. Chris & his team have changed our very outdated garage into a very smart presentable building that we can now use as an utility room. An extension to our kitchen for storage. Chris came recommended to us by a work colleague who recently had their garage converted into a study. Chris provided us with some good ideas in his initial visits to review the work to be undertaken. Great quality, clean and tidy work and we would highly recommend.Paul Greig Smith2022-05-27First class all the way through. If you are looking for a high quality garage conversion at a surprisingly affordable price, First Choice are tough to beat! Chris, the owner, was exceptionally polite and professional throughout. From the initial point of quoting right through to finishing the job. If you have been scrolling and getting different quotes in, save yourself the time and trouble of getting the wrong people in. This company have not only been easy to deal with, but their integrity and work ethic are a breathe of fresh air and a rare find these days. If you can imagine the satisfaction you will feel walking in your converted garage, looking around at a job well done, well, that’s exactly how I felt and I have no hesitation in giving these guys an awesome recommendation. If I were you, I would consider the search over and simply message these guys whilst this testimonial from a very happy customer is in front of you. And I would do it now, lest you get distracted and end up booking with the wrong company and a making a costly mistake you regret. This IS the company you have been looking for! Thanks again guys! Paul Greig SmithSimon Lam2022-03-11If you're reading this review, then its likely you are sat where I was a few weeks ago, trying to find a reliable builder for a project you've had in mind for a while. Well let me save you some time and research in recommending First Choice Conversions. Chris came recommend by our neighbour which is always a good start. We did have a few other quotes, but decided to go ahead with Chris based on: 1. Fair pricing 2. We had seen the quality of his work from our neighbours 3. Very responsive and nothing was too much to ask 4. Ensured that we were comfortable along every stage of the project 5. Once we talked him through our idea, he helped bring it to life and was very knowledgable 6. Very down to earth and explained things in layman's terms to help me understand what was going on - I learnt a hell of a lot about lintel during his week here!! 7. All round nice guy with years of experience He was on time every day, hard working and extremely low maintenance (despite my best efforts to offer him tea and coffee). I never actually saw him stop to take a break and was surprised at how much he managed to complete in a day. If you're thinking of pulling the trigger on a project, speak to Chris at First Choice! Cheers Chris!Tony Pham2022-01-24Really happy we chose First Choice Conversions to covert our garage! Absolutely pleased with every part of the process from initial quotation all the way through to the completion. The end result looks fantastic and clearly showcases the skill and experience of Chris and his team. From the initial visit when Chris came onsite to provide his quote we found him to be very knowledgeable, experienced and meticulous. He took the time to listen and gather all our requirements but also share his thoughts and advice which was very much welcome. During the building work we had a very good level of communication with Chris – he made it clear at what stage the project is in and the order of works that will be taking place at each stage. During the project Chris was very considerate especially as we’re working from home. Where possible noise was kept to a minimum and Chris did everything he could to contain the dust. After each day Chris made sure to secure the site, clear and sweep up. During several parts of the build Chris and his team went above and beyond to deliver on our vision and we couldn’t be more happy with the end result. We definitely recommend Chris and his team to anyone considering a garage conversion. Genuine team of friendly, honest and skilled trades people. Thanks Chris!Steve Toms2021-05-08I would whole heartedly recommend Chris @ First Choice conversions if you are considering converting your garage into another room. He has just completed converting our garage and adjoining box room into two new rooms to be used as a study and utility room and we are delighted with finished product! From the first meeting we had a good feeling about Chris. He listening to all our ideas, gave great advice and is invested in making the customer vision come true. He came back to discuss some alterations before we decided to go ahead and was quick to reply to email and calls with questions we had. Myself and my family where at home throughout the work and Chris was courteous, friendly, tidy and discussed various aspects of the job with me as he went along which meant we got the room exactly as we hoped. He really went the extra mile several times and is a genuinely nice guy. Chris is a highly skilled tradesman with competitive prices. This was a important project for us and we are so pleased we chose Chris for our conversion. Thanks Chris!
