Lee and Sibley have over 25 years of experience and are on hand to provide advice throughout your project. We furthermore, provide every client with an itemised quotation, giving clear accounts of costs at each step of the build. We will also guide you through Planning and building control issues if required.

Testimonials

We knew Lee and Sibley from their excellent work building my brother’s house. For our project we wanted to rearrange and increase the size of our kitchen and dining room. We had no hesitation in reaching out to Lee and Sibley for their advice and design expertise. They were excellent, listening to what we were looking to achieve then coming up with a solution that was also in line with our budget. The work was completed to a very high standard and on time, they also maintained an excellent relationship with our neighbours. The extension has received many positive comments and has blended into the existing house. We have used Lee and Sibley on a number of pieces of work.

Mr and Mrs W. Broxbourne, Hertfordshire

Lee and Sibley have recently completed a major project on our house, which involved two small ground floor extensions, extension of the kitchen (by knocking down internal walls), a loft conversion and reconfiguration and refitting of an en suite bathroom. Some areas have been completely refurbished, including additional insulation. The house was also decorated externally, and repairs were carried out on the roof. Throughout the project, Lee and Sibley have consulted with us about what needed doing. They were patient with our questions and, when appropriate, they offered their own helpful ideas and suggestions. The work has been carried out to a high standard and we have been very pleased with the result. We would certainly recommend Lee and Sibley to friends and neighbours.

Mr and Mrs C. Rushden, Hertfordshire

I am been employing Lee and Sibley for many years starting with the renovation of two properties in my village in Hertfordshire changing from a shop with a house to two high end houses. The work was done exactly to my specifications. Lee and Sibley are an exceptional company who 'think out the box'. They are not wasteful with resources or funds. They deliver on time and budget, discussing any problems straight away, plus they have a solution ready to consider. After moving away from the area, they have looked after my properties on a prompt call out basis and work with my Tenants and myself. I have never had any complaints from my Tenants, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Totally trustworthy, good workmanship, and friendly.

Mrs M. Aston, Hertfordshire

We appointed Lee & Sibley to undertake major foundation and reconstruction works on our house, following extensive subsidence damage. The works were progressed diligently and professionally, completed on time, on budget and to a high standard. Throughout the duration of the works we had a very good relationship with them, which continues with Lee & Sibley undertaking further building and maintenance works for us.

Mrs & Mrs G. Stevenage, Hertfordshire

Lee and Sibley performed a large job for us in 2015. The job involved an extension, a significant amount of internal modifications, some garden works, and an internal fit out to a games room in our outbuilding. They came highly recommended from some neighbours who had used them. The job was a challenge as it involved a lot of disruption to the house, but yet we wanted to carry on living there throughout the project - something that was made possible by the way they executed the work. Lee and Sibley were easy to work with, reliable and flexible. One additional point to add that I think differentiates them is that they were always willing to help us in all aspects of the project design and as such they helped improve the concept that we were trying to create. They finished the project on time and we were delighted with their work. We’d have no hesitation in recommending them.

Mr & Mrs B. Redhill, Hertfordshire

Working with Lee and Sibley made the whole building process very easy. They managed the project from start to finish, ensuring that clearly established trades were on site at the right time. The quality by all was to a very high standard and everyone was very approachable and trustworthy. Lee and Sibley worked with us daily to ensure that the build went to plan and were flexible in accounting for our personal preferences. We would highly recommend Lee and Sibley for any future building work.
