Reviews
Every review below is from a verified Thicketts customer in Dorset.
“From the first phone call to the final sweep-up, everything ran exactly to plan. The office is warmer than our house in winter.”
“Priced online on Sunday, surveyed Wednesday, built three weeks later. The fixed price genuinely was fixed, not a penny more.”
“Our son practises drums daily and the neighbours have honestly never heard a thing. The acoustic spec is remarkable.”
“The team treated our garden like their own: lawns protected, everything spotless each evening. The studio itself is beautiful.”
“Two-week build, zero snags. Working from the bottom of the garden has changed my week entirely.”
“They listened to exactly how I’d use the space and adjusted the design twice without any fuss. My clients love it.”
“The back of the house is unrecognisable, in the best way. Watertight in three weeks, finished in nine, and the price never moved.”
“They handled planning, party wall agreements and the build itself. We made one phone call at the start and that was genuinely it.”
“Two bedrooms and a kitchen-diner for less than moving house would have cost in stamp duty and stress.”
“That dead alley beside the kitchen is now my favourite part of the house. The roof lantern makes it glow all day.”
“Living on site through a build is never fun, but the crew sealed off the works and left the kitchen usable until the final fortnight.”
“The instant online price was within a few hundred pounds of the final quote. Refreshingly honest from day one.”
“Two bedrooms and an en-suite where the Christmas decorations used to live. The house feels twice the size.”
“They warned us the roof would be off for four days and it was exactly four days. Everything ran to the schedule on the wall.”
“The budget option, done beautifully. No dormer needed, just insulation, a staircase and huge skylights. My office is the nicest room in the house.”
“A full mansard on a Victorian terrace, planning included. The join is invisible from the street, and the neighbours keep asking who did it.”
“We stayed living at home the whole build. They came through the roof, not the landing, exactly as promised.”
“From first survey to walking up our new oak stairs took eleven weeks. The eaves storage swallowed everything the loft used to hold.”
“They worked the ceiling height around my driver, not a standard spec sheet. I can swing full-out and the data is spot on.”
“Building and simulator from one team, one price. No arguing between a builder and an AV company. It just worked.”
“I coach out of it three days a week now. The camera angles and lighting were thought through properly before a wall went up.”
“Calibrated with me on handover day and I played Augusta that evening. Genuinely the best thing we’ve done to the house.”
“My husband asked for a golf room; I asked for something that looked lovely from the kitchen. Somehow we both got our way.”
“The acoustic upgrade is worth every penny. You can hit balls at 10pm and the neighbours have never once mentioned it.”
“It reaches temperature in half an hour and holds it beautifully. Built in place by two joiners who clearly enjoyed the job.”
“Cabin, heater, plunge tub and electrics from one team, one price. We use it four evenings a week without fail.”
“I wanted a proper wood-fired stove and they didn’t try to talk me into electric. The flue work is immaculate.”
“Our garden is tiny and they made a two-seater fit beautifully. It smells wonderful every time you open the door.”
“The little covered porch was their suggestion and it’s the detail we’d have missed. Used year-round because of it.”
“Sitting in the heat looking out over the garden in the dark is something else. Best thing we’ve added to the house.”
“Second project with Thicketts. Same crew, same standards, same tidy site. That consistency is why we came back.”
“Three houses on our road have now used them. When your neighbours can inspect the work daily, that says everything.”
“Even the survey was impressive: punctual, thorough, and full of honest advice about what NOT to spend money on.”
