What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Building and architectural work around Reading forms the core of Morris & Blunt Construction Ltd's output, and reviewers consistently highlight both the standard of the finished result and the professional manner of the team. Several customers describe the staff as personable and straightforward to deal with, noting that the firm takes time to understand what a client genuinely needs before proposing the right solution.

Reliability and punctuality feature repeatedly, with projects reported as finished on schedule and to a high standard. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the care taken over demanding projects, including substantial repairs to a grade II listed property, where roof tiles were replaced, dormer windows renewed, sash windows repaired and cast iron guttering fitted while meeting strict listed building consent conditions.

We have had contact with the team at Morris & Blunt for some time now and they have been brilliant; both personally and professionally. Their ethos is exceptional and the company is second to none in the way that they operate and the service that they deliver.

We were living in a fairly large, beautiful but somewhat dilapidated grade II listed house. We employed Morris & Blunt to carry out substantial repairs to the entire external structure, while being carried out to fairly rigorous Listed Building consent requirements. The project included: Replacing all the tiles on our entire roof including new felt and batons Replacing two dormer windows and repair of our sash windows Install new cast iron guttering around the entire property Full repair of large rear and end gables including new oak wood frames. Built a new oak framed lobby to a high specification. The works were substantial and complicated by a number of logistical and accessibility challenges, but Morris & Blunt seemed to overcome all these obstacles with ease. Morris & Blunt hit the sweet spot in our choice for a building contractor. Not so large that we would be just another project, but large enough that they could demand excellent and reliable service from their own subcontractors. Communication throughout the project was excellent and highly professional. The team we worked with were exceedingly competent and clearly set high standards for themselves and those working with them. The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, and we are delighted with the end result. Our house now looks fantastic, so a big thank you to the whole team. Needless to say, I have no hesitation in recommending Morris & Blunt. Simon.
