Highlights

"Vince and team completed all that was asked in the original contract to an excellent standard but also completed additional spontaneous requests with out hesitation. Even spontaneously offering suggestions and work themselves which only enhanced the superb finish. They often stayed late to ensure the job was finished and worked some Saturdays as well. We came to see them as part of the family. Very trustworthy and respectful. Always quick to trouble shoot any arising issues. All the work completed on time with no corners cut. When Vince is at the helm the work and attention to detail is exceptional. They were happy to return on several occasions to touch up work that needed additional attention."

"Hi Khaleda, When I first spoke to you I told you I couldn't do your loft and bathroom for £35K. I phoned you back to say I would have a look. After meeting you and your husband I realised you needed a little bit of help. I looked on your drawings and the architect designed your build with the steel to go above your floor and you would have had no headroom. I thought this was not fair! So, I dropped the steel in between the ceiling joists, free of charge, so we could get some headroom in the loft. Out of that we got 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Money was tight. Your kindness, gratitude and appreciation was shown when you fed the boys and me everyday in the garden. The loft took one month and 3 days to complete, we had God on our side together with honesty and kindness. Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding a summerhouse."

"Hi Aky, many thanks for such a kind review. Your hospitality and understanding was fantastic. Mum was so thoughtful and caring, when we were running out of energy in the evenings working late to get the project finished, Mum would come to the job, put a table cloth on the bench we had and lay out food to keep us going. It was such a lovely thing, seeing the boy's excited after 6pm."

Vince and his team completed a kitchen renovation and a one-story extension for me, and I would recommend them to friends and family for building work. During the project, they were friendly, truthful, and reliable. Vince offered guidance on how to complete the job effectively and economically from the beginning, telling us where to spend the money and where we could make some savings. Overall, the project's completion surpassed my expectations while staying within the budget limit I informed Vince I had set.

"Hi Mark, Thank you kindly for the review. I think it was the right decision to put the bi-folds right away across the back of the extension, and even better with the lantern light which brightened up the existing kitchen. One of the most important things is when you put a building on the back of the house it's the loss of light and that was a joint decision by us both and it was the right one."

Sadiq Subhani5.0 / 5

I took 5 quotations for double story side and rear extension, loft conversion, complete roof change, underfloor heating, baths/kitchen fittings, doors/door frames, and Porch, his quotation was in the middle. He was the only one to return with a 9 page booklet with best itemised quote and 5 stage payment plan. He was recommended by my cousin where Vince managed a project left unfinished by another builder. He was on that larger than mine project for more than a year. I was looking for someone who wouldn’t abandon the project and an honest person to see work with eys. He estimated 5 months for his work for my almost a new built. He walked out within his estimated time and amazingly making us happy. As he said “my project is my reference” and it’s true. I recommended him to almost 6/7 people after he finished at mine. He treated my project as his own and helped me overcome difficulties with design and boundary wall. He made further visits if spotted some screw tightening. Best builder.

"My dearest Sadiq, my friend and brother. For the 5 months we worked together, half way through we decided we wanted to add a loft, which was challenging with no steel. To get it passed the engineer was a fantastic job and that you Sadiq and ourselves did not give up. It was design and build in motion. Every extra that was documented, you had a smile on your face and showed extreme gratitude, for the additional work that had to be carried out. You were so understanding, because nobody likes extras. Sadiq, you were an outstanding client and I wish there was many more like you. Let me know if you need anymore screws tightening, as it would be a pleasure to see you and your family again."

5 Stars – Exceptional Work and Professionalism! I couldn’t be happier with the work completed by Vincent Blackett. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They were punctual, communicative, and clearly take pride in their craftsmanship. Every detail was finished to a high standard, and the end result exceeded my expectations. It’s rare to find a builder who is both reliable and delivers such quality work—I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using their services again in the future!

"Hi Sunny, Thank you for such a wonderful review. Your kind words say it all for me to be appreciated as a builder. Sometimes you do the extra mile and it's not recognised, but showed your appreciation for the hard work and knowledge which we shared together to get the finished job. It was a pleasure"

Vincent and his team carried out a bathroom refit and redecorated the lounge with panelling features and am thoroughly impressed with and delighted with both. All of the team were friendly & polite, communication was more than I could have hoped for, skilful and respectful whilst working in my home. I would highly recommend Vincent Kane Blackett & Sons Limited.

As a family, we have been using Vincent Blackett and sons Ltd for 30 years now since 1995. The company has produced consistent results of quality, reliability and long lasting work for all of this time we have employed them. The work is done professionally and within time, the costs are excellently calculated with materials and labour. We simply don't go anywhere else because of the trust that has been established over these decades. The team is reliable, trustworthy, dependable and consistent. We would recommend them for any building and maintenance work no matter how large the job.

"Amar, thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure working for you. I hope your son get the best out of the garage and man cave. Thank you so much to your wife for feeding the team - the food was absolutely wonderful. None of the boys missed a day - I think it was because of the food."

Mark Thomas5.0 / 5

Vincent and his family team (Lance, Kane and Reese) did a loft conversion and a vaulting of our kitchen celling. Of the 4 building companies that gave us a quotation, Vincent was the only one to visit us and assess the job, and gave us the best quote. We immediately liked him for his enthusiasm, openness and flexibility (in terms of allowing us to work with him to produce some cost savings). They were a joy to have around - always polite, friendly and good humoured, and they took great pride in doing a good job. Through Vincent's flexibility, vision and eye for detail, we ended up with a bigger and better loft conversion than was in the original plans. I would recommend to anybody, not just for the excellent work quality, but also for sense of trust - the feeling that your house is safe in their hands. Thank you Vince, Lance, Kane and Reese, and Selina for handling the finances in such a transparent manner.

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
