Josephine Mills and Michael King - Sevenoaks
We first came across Aspal Construction 5 years ago when we needed an old York stone path and patio re-laid and the company was recommended to us by a friend. We were bowled over by the work ethic and creativity of Aspal’s principal, Shaun Aspey, who insisted on a solid job with deep foundations and suggested two beautiful steps edged in soft red brick, the doorstep curving to mirror the curves of our flower beds and the stepping stone path across our lawn. Looking at the completed job, Aspal’s quote, which was mid-range without being the cheapest, now revealed itself as very reasonable indeed and friends have complimented us on the way the work has enhanced the look of our house and garden.
Last year (2019) we decided to renovate and improve a small bathroom and study upstairs in our space-challenged, Grade 2-listed, 300 year old cottage. Because of the period nature of the property we knew the work would need a high level of competence as well as some aesthetic sensitivity. We have lived in the house for 25 years and on the whole have not found workmen keen to engage with centuries old problems which often reveal themselves once exterior surfaces are stripped away. Now however, we knew we had the right company for the job, and with Aspal’s support embarked on the project with confidence. The house did not disappoint, throwing up some major hidden problems and challenges, all of which were identified and dealt with impressively and reassuringly to create an immaculate sealed and tanked wet-room, tiled in Fired Earth limestone mosaic and with a fully heated floor, which has been a joy to use ever since. Next door was ingeniously shoe-horned in a thoughtfully fitted out and attractive small study. (Photos supplied.)
We must just add a final word about the way in which Aspal’s go about their work whilst they are in the property. The specialist contractors chosen for the job - electricians,plumbers,carpenters were without exception pleasant and considerate as well as highly competent. Work finished at the end of each day when the planned stage of work was complete not at a set time, even if this occasionally meant working into the evening. There would then commence another half hour of vacuuming, and clearing of tools, so that the house was as liveable-in as possible for us overnight and at weekends.
To summarise, we think this company is a find and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
