Builders in Kent
Kent has a housing stock that runs from Victorian terraces and weatherboarded cottages through to post war semis and new estates, and each of them wants something slightly different from a builder. An older property throws up surprises behind the plaster. A newer one is usually a question of layout rather than structure.
That is the argument for one person seeing a job the whole way through. The person who priced it is the person on site when something unexpected turns up, which is the point at which most jobs either stay on track or start to drift.
Most work is within about an hour of Ashford, which reaches most of the county comfortably. Larger jobs, a new build or a full refurbishment, are worth travelling further for, so it is always worth asking.
Whatever the job, the sequence is the same. A proper look at the space, an honest conversation about what is realistic for the budget, then the work managed personally from the first day to the handover.

Alex has recently redecorated my bathroom and did an amazing job. Couldn’t recommend him enough, he knew exactly what he was doing.
Alex has recently completed my outbuilding in the garden. He and his guys are top class
Alex’s craftsmanship is absolutely class, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a carpenter in Ashford.
Alex is an absolutely pleasure to work with. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is out of this world! I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for any kind of renovations, building works etc. I am soo happy with my kitchen full renovation!
We are very happy with the work Alex and Henry have done to restore our wooden window frames back to looking like new. There was a lot of rotten wood to replace and they worked hard to fix and replace this. They were always on time every morning and worked so hard to finish the job in just over two weeks. They were both clean and tidy workers which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to use them again and recommend to our friends and family.
I am delighted with the 3 projects undertaken by AGC joinery. The renovation of crumbling windows was sympathetic and skillful as was the replacement of the barge boards of 4 gables of our period farmhouse. Similarly, the joinery work to make and fit 3 doors for our old brick stables was of a high standard and exactly what I had asked for.
Thank you to Alex for the work he done on transforming our family home. He completed our extension to give us our dream kitchen and utility room. Would recommend Alex for any building and carpentry works. 10/10 service with a top quality finish
