Home extension, Coton, Cambs.
Fordham Restoration is the best building firm we've worked with. Our project was fairly complex (involving steelwork to suspend some of the existing house structure, plus our living in the property throughout the extension building work with small children) and the Fordham team handled it with great skill and were lovely people to have in the house. The organization was superb and all the tradesmen were of exceptional skill throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend them, or to use them again.

"I was delighted with the way Fordham Restoration conducted my loft conversion. It was done with the minimum disruption to the rest of the house. Everything was left clean and tidy at the end of each day. I was kept well informed of all stages. A very well planned job, I would certainly use them again and fully recommend them"

Home renovation, Ross Street, Cambridge

"We have recently undergone a complete renovation of our Victorian property. During the course of this renovation we have worked with several different trades including Fordham Restoration Services Ltd. We found Fordham’s to be 100% professional in their approach to the work they have completed. Communication was excellent throughout and Simon always kept us informed of progress and any issues which arose during the course of work. Every job was completed efficiently and to a high standard. I would recommend Fordham Restoration Services Ltd to anyone looking for a professional building company to complete works on their property. My only regret is that we didn’t get them to do all the work as we had some less than favorable experiences with other trades!"

Kitchen replacement, Hawthorn Road, Cambridge.
"Fordham Restoration were a pleasure to work with. All members of the skilled team were friendly and helpful. The project was completed as quickly and with as little disruption as could be managed (considering we were having a major internal wall removed and the kitchen ripping out and moving to another room entirely!). We were very pleased with the high quality finish, very good value for money."

January 2008

I am a very busy person who has not got time to be around to hand over keys and check on safety/building issues. It was with great relief that I could hand over my extension work to Fordham Restoration. I had no worries about the safety of my house and handing over the keys.

As far as the quality of the work goes, I am no expert with no knowledge of building. But I could see that with every step Simon Fordham and his right hand man Austin ensured the quality of the work was top notch.

From the foundations, to the brick work, to the excellent carpentry and roofing, the pipe laying and plastering everyone did an excellent job. An excellent job has been done by the plumber in the downstairs loo.

I am writing this as I am glad they did the job for me. Simon kept me informed throughout. My biggest stress would have been to see things go wrong. I cannot recommend Fordham Restoration more highly for the quality of building work they do and it was pleasant to meet all the people who work for them.

"Simon seems to be unique when it comes to builders in that he genuinely cares about what it is like to live in a small house with the inevitable turmoil of a major extension. He did all possible to make it as pleasant as possible, giving plenty of warning of major changes ahead."
