Report
Fountain Construction has completed a third house extension & renovation project for us. I can honestly say that I would not use any other builder. The latest project involved three extensions to our current… house as well as a complete renovation of the whole house and landscaping - front and back. Tom Fountain worked closely with me from the architectural design stage right through to build completion. I am very particular about detail and standard of finish. Tom and his team have surpassed my expectations. The quality of workmanship and creativity is second to none. As well as standard

Mills and Kinsella Ltd have worked with Fountain Construction Ltd on several builds and each has been a pleasure to be involved in. We’ve found communication easy, site access never a problem and Tom’s forward thinking approach and readiness to try new ways of designing the interiors, a breath of fresh air.

We chose to use Fountain Construction as we knew someone who had used them and recommended them. I can honestly say on every level they were absolutely brilliant. Our whole new build experience was a pleasure… from Start to finish, I’m not sure how many people can say that when building their home, and it was purely because of Tom and his professional team. Our finished product is amazing. I couldn’t recommend this company enough! I’d quite like to do it again really!
