“Dear Peter, Ben's firm is Argyll Building Services. Argyll did the complete tear down to stone and studs on my flat and did an incredible job rebuilding and redecorating. He and his firm dealt with every step of the process, including advocating on my behalf against two management companies, and many departments within the city of Westminster. The list of contacts Ben has, and the professionalism and skill which he leveraged those contacts into a successful project cannot be understated. Added to that, he has an uncommon ability to conceive and execute his vision in regards to a total refurbishment of a property. The moniker "Mayfair's premier builder" is appropriate to say the least. I've worked with quite a few builders in the States, and the U.K., Ben stands above the rest.”
Melville Behrendt, Fund Manager - Mayfair

“Argyll Building Services have completed a new basement and an extension to a family home for me. They have really set the standard for Residential Building Contactors, providing a level of quality and delivery, which is rarely seen throughout any job, in this industry. Well Done!!”
Gareth Roberts – Architect & award winning Project Designer (Peckham)

“Argyll Building was invited to submit a competitive tender for a major refurbishment of two 4 bedroom town houses. The properties were completely derelict and had been empty for nearly 30 years.

The tender submitted was very competitive and Argyll was appointed to undertake the full project.

Their team were pro active, friendly and very approachable. The project, now complete and on budget was undertaken with great enthusiasm and commitment. The quality of work which included all fittings and finishes is a great example of restoring a very derelict property back into prime condition.

We would have great pleasure in having the opportunity to work with Argyll again and look forward to another project in the future.”
Stephen Hurrell – Architect – (South Bridge Road)

“It is extremely hard to find very good building contractors in the greater London area who understand the designer’s and the client’s requirement in terms of quality of service, delivery of a project in a timely manner without delays and remaining within the intended budget. I can gladly say that we have found overall quality in Argyll Building Services; a fantastic working relationship and understanding the designer’s approach ensured that the terms of the building contract were adhered, followed by outstanding quality of workmanship. Argyll Building Services went out of there way to satisfy not only the client but also ourselves to accommodate even the smallest level of detail and workmanship on more than a few occasions. A happy client means only one thing…..Excellence in design & build. Keep up the good work and look forward to working with you all again.”
Ali Palizi – Architect - (Fulham, Ealing, Hammersmith, Chelsea)

“We are very happy with the finished product and the level of finish throughout. Having not thanked you thus far, may I take this opportunity to do so. If you want to use us as a referee, we are more than happy to act as one for you. We'll even be happy to show off the house to potential clients if it assists. I know how little praise the industry generally gets (being in another profession that never gets good press), so think it is important to tell people when praise is due.”
Michelle Rousell – Construction Litigator (Islington)

“Having worked with Argyll on a number of projects, ranging from £50-£300k I have been impressed with their efficiency and levels of professionalism in occasionally difficult circumstances. I've found their employees to be diligent and respectful, helping clients to relax when handing over their home. When technical problems have presented themselves they have shown flexibility and a willingness to find a solution in the best interests of the client and build. I have enjoyed working with Ben and his team and look forward to doing so again.”
