Simon and his team worked on an extension to our bungalow and total refit work internally. They were a great team of tradesmen with the builders in particular being lovely to work with and always tidy and concensious in their work. The work was completed on time with no unexpected issues or costs. We would definately use simon and his team again and would highly recommend them.
S M Mckeown building Contractors, (Simon) has transformed our kitchen from a drab rather boring functional room to a modern and contemporary living space full of interest and vibrancy. The great thing is not only does he do the building work, and organize the various trades so that the job flows like clockwork he also does the design work, planning the kitchen layout for you to the finest of detail from the style of units through to the appropriate appliances making the best use of space available.
He works around you to ensure that you carry on living whilst he carries on working.
Simon has completed a number of building projects in my home and each one has been finished to the highest standard of workmanship.
Simon and his team have done a fantastic job knocking through our dining room and kitchen into one big space. He advised us from our initial thoughts through to the finishing touches. We reconfigured the layout which moved doors, windows and plumbing but you wouldn't know looking at the work. The job was done to a very high standard and Simon kept us in the loop throughout. He was helpful at problem solving and also respectful of our choices.
I look forward to using him and his team again when we do further work on the property.
Simon and his team did a loft conversion and wraparound extension on our three-bed semi. The whole team were friendly and approachable. Simon was always willing to discuss ideas and offer creative solutions to the inevitable problems that arose throughout the build. The end result is everything we wanted it to be. Our neighbours consistently commented on how tidy and considerate Simon and the team were. We highly recommend Simon and his team and we hope to use them again for our future projects.
We are currently working with Simon and his team on our third building project. This is the second residential self-build house and he also did an extension and complete renovation of a commercial property that is now my wife's Children's Nursery.
Simon and his team are extremely reliable, efficient and finish all jobs to a high standard. They are very flexible and easy to work with, always trying to make sure that the customer has exactly what they want. I would highly recommend them.

After completing our bathroom renovations in January 2015 Simon and his team went on to build our garden extension, replacing a life expired conservatory and potting shed. Firstly, his quote was his quote and there were no hidden extra charges; secondly they were always on time, cheerful and very hard workers; thirdly they were full of sensible advice and quickly found solutions to problems; fourthly their standard of workmanship was very high; fifthly whilst buIlding works inevitably create a degree of mess they were always careful to clear up after themselves, and their "builders' yard" only took up a very small part of the garden; and lastly they have left us with a brilliant extension which we will hopefully enjoy for many years to come. I am writing this approximately three months after they finished and so far there has been only one small item of snagging which was dealt with very quickly and without fuss.
I don't hesitate to recommend them.
Simon and his team recently widened our drive access for us, demolishing and then partially rebuilding a section of a dry stone wall, and laying brick paving. We are really pleased with the finished driveway and glad we followed Simon's advice on brick colours. The front of the property has been transformed. Highly recommended.
Simon and his team gutted and replaced our family bathroom and separately an en-suite shower In January 2015. They were on time, worked to a high standard and were on budget. We were impressed with their hard work and the way that Simon dovetailed the various trades to ensure the project was completed quickly. They were very sensitive to our needs, consulting us at every stage, and were careful to clear up after themselves.
They are now working on a garden extension room at the back of the house, which is a new-build. The roof goes on this week. They are working to the same high standards and we are are really glad that Simon's company was recommended to us.
Simon McKeown and his team put a central heating system into our barn conversion in 2013. First up they provided a comprehensive and very competitive quote - and took the time to talk us through the details of it.
They were hardworking and polite and the project took eight weeks.
They were respectful of our space and of our things and made sure that the rooms were left tidy and dust free at the end of each day.
When we ran into a few unexpected structural challenges (such as no insulation, leaking roof, damp back walls) they immediately came up with options and alternatives which did not break the bank.
They did an outstanding job and we now have a fully heated, water tight, fully insulated house.
It was actually a pleasure having Simon's team on site and we recommend them unconditionally to anyone looking to improve their home.
We had an ambitious renovation project that was going to be very disruptive, but Simon and his team constantly came up with ways to minimise the impact. Simon was always friendly, happy to discuss new ideas or options, and dealt with all challenges with skill and good humour. We're delighted with the result and we have already recommended him to friends.
Simon and his team did a fabulous job building our wonderful extension and renovating our house. From the moment Simon was asked to quote he was professional and helpful. He and his team arrived every day, worked hard and left the site tidy at the end of the day. The work ran to time and to his quote. We found his advice practical and his experience invaluable and he was able to source items for us quickly and competitively priced. We are very happy with the end result, would have no hesitation in employing him again and we have already recommended him to a number of friends.
Simon and the team carried out the demolition and rebuild of our kitchen. Simon provided a comprehensive quote and on getting the contract, set out a payment profile which staged the payments against easily measurable progress.
I have to say I can't fault Simon's attention to detail and his calm approach, so even when unexpected things happen, there is a sense of calm and straightforward options are suggested, leaving me to choose the option I feel is best.
The finished kitchen is light and warm and really has made the house complete.
Simon and his team make for a happy site, they are trustworthy and unbelievably tidy (the site is left tidy every evening). I have used his skills on two separate properties to date and would have no hesitation in using the team in any future projects.
Simon and his team recently renovated my bathroom to a very high standard. I found them very professional and I was impressed with the way they included me in any decision-making processes so I ended up with exactly what I envisaged. I would definitely recommend them.
We undertook a complete renovation of our home, employing Simon as our main contractor and we were delighted with the results. Simon is both energetic and practical and also has a great eye for detail and finish. He project managed an excellent team of other trades and helped source a variety of well-priced items. The build was completed on budget according to the original quote.
Simon McKeown completed a total renovation of my bungalow and I was thoroughly impressed with his efficiency, time-keeping and professionalism. The site always remained clean, tidy and in order. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon for any building work and will certainly be using him in the future.
Simon has completed a number of building projects at my home. The quality and standard of work has been excellent and I have never been disappointed with the finished results. Simon is very conscientious, will advise on progress, adheres to the time frame given, and leaves the site clean and tidy at the end of each day.
