CHT Building Solutions Ltd/Renaissance Orangeries

CHT Building Solutions carried out a major extension to my circa 1850 end of terrace cottage from July to October last year. This involved building out over the existing flat roof 1974 kitchen and bathroom extension to create a large master bedroom. Knocking through downstairs to create a large kitchen with a cloakroom and opening up the stairs to create a landing and new bathroom from the existing second bedroom. From the outset Chris Tiplady was supportive, helpful and totally professional. Throughout the sometimes tricky build he and his team were very pleasant to have around. The budget was strictly observed throughout and when it became clear that some alteration was necessary to the original plans, Chris showed considerable skill in adapting them and negotiating with the Planning Officer. Great consideration was shown towards my neighbours who are all very impressed with the end result. I have no hesitation in recommending CHT Developments.

The project was slightly different to their normal forms of construction. The task was to enlarge an existing club room, then adding to it a 15 metre by 10 metre Rifle Range and then joining the new part of the building to the rear of another range. Also making the facility disabled friendly Extensive ground works were carried out, the spoil retained on site as it had been contaminated by our neighbours. One of the main difficulties was joining the three roof areas all of which had difficult contours. This showed considerable skill and improvisation to do this and maintain them as water proof. The project took six months and was finished to a high spec. During this time work was carried out around the club’s activities. The initial estimate of £128,000 was adhered to. A suggestion as to what should be used for the clubroom was accepted. Heavy duty laminated wood was laid at the estimated cost of £4,500. Being very satisfied with the work and the way it was completed we asked for repairs to the car park. This was completed to a high standard and kept to the estimated cost of £6,500. From our experience we would recommend this Company

CHT Building Solutions buuilt a utility room extension to my house during the winter of 2014-15. Despite difficult weather conditions they worked whenever possible and produced an attractive and efficient room, complete with all fixtures and fittings. They also laid a new wooden floor inside the house and installed a new kitchen. They were friendly and courteous and very flexible with ideas and suggestions.

Chris and his team at Renaissance Orangeries built us a new hardwood orangery at our home in Aldwick. We had got quotes from other local companies but weren't impressed with what was discussed when they were quoting. From the initial contact with Chris I was pleased with not only the price but also with Chris's attention to details. He was able to show us other examples of his work and he also recommended some features that would work best with our situation. Once the work had started and we had met the rest of his team we felt that Renaissance lived up to their word. All of his team were more than happy to discuss what they were doing and everyone was very good at keeping us informed of the next step. Never once did we feel that due to our silly questions that we were a burden. A few problems popped up that were due to previous work carried out by others at our home but Chris and his team handled them all without any issues and all within our agreed budget. I would highly recommend this company and our friends have all been very impressed with the finished article.

Chris Tiplady, is the man with whom I discussed the replacement and enlargement of the old conservatory with a new one customised to our specific requirements. He delivered the product on time, on budget and exactly to specifications. He was very much hands on the job and always ready and willing to resolve possible problems with grace, confidence and professionalism. He takes pride on what he does and delivers with expertise. G.
