A huge thanks to Shaun & the team for bringing our vision to life. From day 1 we have been impressed with how slick the building process has been, for Shaun’s attention to detail, his communication throughout & his guidance in areas where we needed some expertise. We couldn’t be happier with our extension & would highly recommend Shaun & the team to anyone planning a building project- he’s worth the wait.

Very happy with the work Shaun has done for us. He created a beautiful extension with a natural stone exterior to match the surroundings. He was honest and professional from start to finish, and handled some difficult situations like a gentleman. The guys who work for him are friendly, good-spirited and hard working. I was kept up to date on progress throughout, and the project came in on budget. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Price & Price to people looking for a reliable and trustworthy builder.

For our extension project, picking up the phone with Price and Price was the best decision. Shaun is a down-to-earth great guy who impressed us from day one. Our first impressions were spectacular, and his professionalism in envisioning our project, presenting ideas, and providing a bound quote booklet was a level of service we had not experienced with other quote providers. The building work progressed almost seamlessly, and every detail was taken care of with apparent autonomy from the great guys who work for and represent Price and Price. All the different chaps who came to our house for the project were friendly, had a good laugh and were engaging. Despite living in the house while the work took place, we never felt in their way (even though I'm sure we must have been at times!). Building work on this scale was never going to be easy with two children in the house, but the guys were engaging with our 3-year-old, and he loved watching them work, so thank you for that; it meant a lot. Shaun was always contactable, and any issues were taken care of promptly. Shaun sorted out any adaptations, extras, or oversights we made to the project for us. He and the team really have made our visions come to life, and we are extremely thankful and exceptionally pleased with their enduring hard work. One of the hardest parts of the project was knowing what to do with ourselves when it was over! We almost missed the vans on the driveway and the lads coming over. (almost...definitely glad to see the skip go)... As stressful as these things can be, the Price and Price team are top-notch, and we would, and will recommend them to anyone we speak to! Thanks guys!

We cannot recommend Price and Price enough. Our kitchen and utility extension is exactly what we asked for. We were involved in all decisions and plans from the very beginning right until the end. Shaun and his team worked extremely hard throughout the project, working long hours and turning up in all weather including snow! The finished product is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be happier. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Price and Price to anybody who is considering them and have had a lot of compliments on the work that they have done. The work speaks for itself. Thanks Shaun

We are 12 months into having a job finished by Shaun and the team. We are still happy with our new extension and would recommend them to you. You get what you pay for and it is worth waiting for them as they were busy. Thank you Price & Price.

They say you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, well I know a man who can! From start to finish I have been bowled over by the quality and professionalism that Shaun and his team have shown in transforming our very tired 70's house into something spectacular. The team were there at 8.00am on the dot ready to start work, fuelled with plenty of brews, biscuits and bacon butties and in some foul weather conditions thrown in. They left leaving me as tidy as they possibly could and with a quick summary of what had been done and what would be next, I was kept informed every step of the way. Having a good idea of what I wanted, things also needed to evolve as it's hard to visualise when there's such a big change, that's where Shaun's expertise came in and he advised me on what would and wouldn't work resulting in me getting everything spot on. If you need work doing then I would highly recommend Price & Price for your project.

We have just had house renovations completed by Price and Price Ltd, we cannot recommend this company highly enough. Shaun and his team have been amazing from start to finish. Shaun oversees the project, he is professional and knowledgable and ensured our job was completed to the highest quality in the specified time frame. All Shaun's team are outstanding, friendly and their workmanship is to the highest standard. I did not expect to be saying this but the whole process has been enjoyable, seeing our vision become reality has been amazing. Shaun takes the stress away from what could be a difficult time. We have 3 young children and lived in the house throughout the works, Shaun and his team made this as stress free and easy as possible. Shaun and his team have completely transformed our home and we are absolutely thrilled with the end result. We can't thank them enough! Helen and Chris Wigmore

Having researched reviews, we commissioned Price and Price (Shaun Price) to construct a one-storey extension to our semi-detached house; internal work including new kitchen fitting following re-design that included provision for a utility area; front room re-configuration and new bathroom. External work including garden paving design and build. Shaun was able to recommend an architect (Rob Sherwood) to us and we were very pleased, as well as being surprised, as to what actually could be achieved with the draft plans. When embarking on such a project, there will be inevitable stress. There will be upheaval and one must accept that not everything will run to schedule, especially involving third parties. A particular strength, which filled us with confidence, was Shaun’s direct and continual communication, which served to mitigate anxieties. As an example, due to circumstances that could not possibly be anticipated, kitchen delivery could not take place on the booked day. The knock-on effect a change in delivery date can cause cannot be understated. This situation required Shaun’s ability to adapt and re-jig schedules involving a number of sub-contractors e.g. kitchen fitters; joiners; plasterers and electrician to work round the problem and keep delivery on track. Our faith in Shaun and his team was fully justified. Every member of the team was punctual, amiable and readily receptive to last minute aesthetic tweaks to design and requests such as door width changes and additional radiator work. All of the work has been completed to an exceptional standard. A house, that wasn’t easy to love and lacked warmth, has been transformed into a beautiful home and we are beyond ecstatic with the results. Shaun was able to further recommend a flooring company (Banks Flooring Solutions), who we were also extremely pleased with. Whilst we knew our budget and ultimate financial limitation, we were very pleased that there were no nasty surprises during the work and there was minimal deviation from the original quote and payment plan. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Price and Price, whose reputation for high standards; communication and management of projects, is fully deserved. The bottle of fizzy following completion was a lovely gesture and good timing ahead of New Year!! Thank you Shaun and team. Michael and Stephanie Cameron, Chorley.
