What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
"I posted a bathroom job on a Bark App and within ten minutes I got a notification that I had about 5 responses. I spoke to Cormac of Buildaway first, explained my plans a bit and he asked where I was and when I told him, he said I am not far, I will come and view the place. In half an hour he was at the door and from his introduction in my mind I said I think he will do the job. He came in, I showed him and detailed my proposal, he listened and then checked, measured and said to me it is doable and will get back to me with a quotation detailing the scope of work. Indeed he delivered as promised, we discussed thoroughly in detail, checking everything, gave me ideas as well as listening to me. We agreed on a plan and he delivered. Any issues or worries I may have had, he was always available to explain and reassured me. Cormac is very good with communication, listening, advising, a hard worker and an excellent team/project leader. He has been transparent and I would not fault him in his deliverance of what he promised to do. I am extremely impressed, happy and proud of what he and his team of Archie, Ben and Danny delivered. They all went beyond and far, I am very grateful for what they have done for me. I would 100% recommend Buildaway for any building, renovation etc - an excellent team with a good rapport, team spirit and working harmoniously together. Thank you Team Buildaway. Thank you Cormac, you are a star. 👍"

"We recently used Buildaway for a full bathroom renovation at our home in Orpington, along with plastering, redecoration of both bedrooms and new spotlights installed in the bedrooms. From start to finish the experience was smooth and well organised. Cormac was easy to deal with, communication was clear and everything ran to the agreed timelines. The team turned up when they said they would and kept the house tidy each day, which made a big difference while we were living in the property during the works. The quality of the finish is excellent. The bathroom looks fantastic and the bedrooms feel completely refreshed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cormac and the Buildaway team."
Helen Sivyer
"I had a complete refurbishment of my bathroom by the Buildaway team recently. I received an excellent service from the outset with a very high standard of the completed work. Cormac was very responsive to my wish for a traditional period bathroom and helped me to source the suite, the tiles, the paneling and flooring. The team are respectful to the home generally. I am very pleased with the finished bathroom."
Philomena Mulcahy
"We had an excellent experience working with Buildaway. Cormac was incredibly easy to work with, and gave helpful advice. The finished job was neat, professional and completed efficiently. We'd definitely recommend and would use them again!"
Roisin Lawrence
"Exceptional Bathroom Refurbishment and More! I was recommended Buildaway by a colleague as I was impressed by the work they had done for my colleague. From the moment I contacted Cormac, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating right from the start. The very next day, he was at my property, taking measurements and discussing design options. What really impressed me was Cormac's honesty. He was upfront about what would and wouldn't work with my space, which was quite tight. I was a bit indecisive, changing my mind several times, but Cormac remained patient and helped me design and choose materials for my dream bathroom. Communication was exceptional throughout the entire project. I didn't have to worry about a thing, as Cormac and his team effectively project-managed everything, which was a huge relief since I was mostly away during the project. They were on-time every day and completed the job in the agreed-upon two weeks. The team was respectful of my space and left everything clean after completing the project. I can't thank them enough! I highly recommend Cormac and the Buildaway team for bathroom refurbishments and all other building work. They are more than competent and reliable; you'll be getting the best of the best. Cormac even provided advice and recommendations for other projects in my house. Don't hesitate to book Buildaway for your bathroom refurbs or other building projects - you won't regret it!"
Nana A.
"Cormac and his team were excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and consistent both before and throughout the project, which made the whole process feel well managed. Cormac was really responsive on any questions I had and always contactable. Cormac provided really helpful advice on products and design, and clearly understood the look I was aiming for. That made a big difference and really helped me make decisions. The quality of the finish is excellent, which was one of my top priorities. The team took real care to get everything right, and Mo in particular has a fantastic eye for detail. They were also very professional day to day - always tidy, and cleaned up really thoroughly when taking away all rubbish at the end. They stuck to the agreed timelines, and pricing was transparent throughout, with clear communication on any issues as they arose. Overall, I’m really pleased with the result and felt I could trust them throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."
