NMB Kitchens & Bathrooms

Fantastic experience from start to finish for a kitchen extension and brand new kitchen. Nev spent time with us to decide on the kitchen itself, introducing us to numerous suppliers so we could decide from a wide variety of options to get the kitchen we wanted. It took time to make the right decisions, and we revisited it a few times, however Nev offered advice and guidance throughout. With the planned extension Nev had direct conversations with the structural engineers to ensure all parties were aligned, and to ensure some of the proposed solutions to meet supposed regulations were not required. Once the build started Ben was amazing – very hard working and knowledgeable, whilst ensuring that nothing was too much trouble to amend or put right. We did have to make decisions on the fly, however Ben gave as much time as possible to finalise these. All-in-all a great experience and would definitely recommend to others.

We had our kitchen refurbished and some building work done. The work is excellent, it was completed within the initial time frame given. Everyone was very polite and professional and the advice given on our options was spot on.

NMB carried out my single storey extension with a new kitchen diner and w. C at my 1930s semi-detached property that finished in January 2022. Nev came out to design and plan the job giving practical advice and options to suit my needs. Ben and Ryan were assigned to deliver the build. At the start of each week Ben would advise me of the work to be completed that week and without fail they would deliver on time, on budget and to the required quality despite torrential rain, hail and snow. Ben was able to offer solutions to achieve the required outcome when decisions needed to be made and pointed out the pros and cons to enable me to make informed decisions. Ryan’s plastering was of a high quality with many of my friends commenting on the ‘glass like’ finish. Ben was able to find ways to keep a separate family living space during the build and allowed my old cooker, washer and sink to be used while the new build took place. I am completely satisfied with the excellent work that was carried out by Ben, Ryan and their sub-contractors that was signed off by the Local Authority without any issues and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future work. NMB completely met all of my expectations and more and demonstrated what good builders should look like.Moreexpand_more

Nev is an absolute star, from the beginning to the end. We had a kitchen which was poorly laid out and installed by the previous owner and we wanted to modernise it. Nev was patient with us and offered us practical ideas to ensure we used the space properly. Communication was great, especially when we went back with queries. The designs and breakdowns of the cost were clear and so easy to understand. Even when a couple of issues arose, Nev sorted them out and made sure we were completely happy before accepting our final payment. We will be contacting Nev soon to have him design us a new bathroom.

We'd had some bad experiences with tradesmen before we approached Nev, some of them incompetent and unprofessional, others just plain criminal, so we were a little wary about getting more work done. Thankfully this didn't last long, because from the preliminary meeting right through to the job's completion we felt that we were in safe hands with the very best people on the job. Nev was highly attentive to any needs and queries we had, maintaining good communication throughout, and the main joiner on the job, Rob, gave a masterclass in professionalism and workmanship. We couldn't pick a single fault with the process as it was being done, or the finished result. We'd recommend North Manchester Builders to anyone and everyone who's looking to get work done, as it's hard to imagine any other company offering a better service than we received. 10/10.

We are so delighted with how Nev, Ben and Ryan have transformed our kitchen. The velux windows, side full height window and bifolding doors allow so much light to stream through and create a wonderful connection between the kitchen and the garden. Just what we wanted. From the initial planning stages through to the building and completion of the project we were very happy with how well the team communicated with us. Any concerns, questions and ideas were discussed thoroughly, and the CAD pictures helped us to envisage how our new space would look. Very reliable and hardworking. NMB came highly recommended, and they didn’t disappoint. The work was completed within the anticipated time scale and the guys were a pleasure to have around.

I am so glad we chose Nevin and the team to carry out our garage conversion. Despite all the complications that COVID-19 created the whole project ran smoothly and on time thanks to Nevin, Ben and Ryan’s hard work. Communication was fantastic throughout and we now have a brilliant kitchen to show for it. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

We are so pleased we found NMB and chose them to install our new kitchen. Nev oversaw everything from the builders work to the bi-folding doors, electrics, plumbing, tiling, fitting, lighting and its all brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and the place was left clean and tidy every day. However the most important thing is, and I have found this is very rare with tradesmen, he turned up when he said he would, he quoted when he said he would and he did what he said he would. Of course there are unexpected things which occur during the project but it is how they are dealt with that tells you more than anything else. On this basis I would not hesitate to recommend Nev and his team to anyone for your home improvements. We're already thinking about the next area we want to have refurbished….

I had my kitchen renovated recently (just as lockdown lifted! ) by NMB and they were absolutely brilliant! My old kitchen was dark, cramped and freezing cold in winter, it’s now light, spacious And with all the insulation in the wall and ceiling, and the radiator in the middle of the room it will be toasty … I still haven’t stopped smiling when I walk into my kitchen now … I’d had a few kitchen companies out to quote before NMB, but it felt very much like they want to fit Their kitchen in to the space, Nev was only person who looked at the space and came up with solutions on how to make it work better i. E how to get the radiator into the centre of the room, how to insulate the room and sort out the whonky wall! . Nev is also very considerate of his customers making sure you’re not without a kitchen for longer than is necessary, and that all the work gets done in one go, my kitchen was done as soon as we came out of lockdown, we were ready to go when the national shortage of plaster hit! (who knew! ) – rather than just carry on and rip out the kitchen Nev suggested we wait until they could guarantee there was plaster rather than leave me with an empty shell. The people Nev brings in to do the work are simply Fab, they’re qualified tradesmen, Ben and Ryan took the honours on my kitchen, they turned up on time and they just got on and did the work, there was no sitting around! And they did a brilliant job … they’re polite, always check in with you before they leave and always tidy up after themselves. And the bit that I think makes NMB really brilliant is that they all care, they all take pride in their work and want to do the best job, from start to finish, I should also add in here Nigel, electrician, the wiring for my old kitchen looked like spaghetti junction, by the time Nigel had finished it was neat as a pin, tram lines!. In a nutshell I’d highly recommend them, Nev might not be able to fit you in immediately, but he is absolutely worth waiting for! – BIG thank you Nev, Ben and Ryan – and apologies for the delay in posting this – I’m blaming the football!.Moreexpand_more

We have recently had a new Kitchen fitted by NMB. This was not a straight forward project as it required incorporating two rooms into one. We have not had the best of experiences with builders in the past but Nev, Ben and Ryan were great and very patient with us throughout the project. Nev first came round and immediately understood what our plans were and came up with various options including some we had never even thought about. Nev was able to show all options with CAD and 3-D graphics so we could better understand what the final look would be. Throughout Nev kept in touch and talked through any issues/concerns we may have. Ben and Ryan then brought the plans to life. It was great to have builders who actually put in a full day and who were not constantly off site or on other Jobs. Ben in particular addressed all of our concerns and put up with our numerous questions and concerns on a daily basis. They were both very friendly and put us at ease. The project was partially completed prior to lockdown but Ben ensured that we had a workable Kitchen before he left and returned as soon as possible to complete the works. Due to the complexity of the project there were bound to be some snagging issues but these were only minor and once we notified Nev and Ben of the issues they were quickly resolved. Again a sign of trustworthy company. We are extremely happy with the finished kitchen so much so we are looking to us NMB again on our Bathroom refurb later in the year. .Moreexpand_more

NMB were recommended to us by a friend of a family member and we're extremely pleased they were! Nev and the team were brilliant from start to finish and highly professional. We met with Nev at the beginning to discuss what we wanted, which was the removal of a load bearing wall to create an open plan kitchen with a complete kitchen refit. It also included the knock out of some of an external wall to crate sufficient space for French doors. When Nev visited he was very friendly and put us at ease immediately. We discussed our initial ideas and he sat with us and put together a rough draft design on the laptop there and then, adding in helpful suggestions here and there but without ever being pushy. The design changed a couple of times (due to our indecisiveness) and Nev was always more than happy to amend the design and answer any questions we had (no matter how clueless they might have been). We were able to visit the kitchen cabinet and door manufacturers if we wanted to see the quality of the materials before work began. We only visited the door companies and were happy that based on the quality of these the cupboards would be the same, and we weren't wrong. We were very impressed when Nev provided a detailed breakdown of the job quote (broken into kitchen materials and build related work) which helped us maintain our budget. Despite a few unforeseen issues popping up as the job went on (none caused by NMB) and a few changes being made due to us changing our minds, the job largely stayed on the original price that was quoted. When Ben and Ryan arrived on the job to start the build they were really friendly and took the time to talk us through any questions we had. They were always available to provide updates, discuss possible changes and any ideas we had whilst the job progressed. Nev created a WhatsApp group for us all to communicate easily and ensure everyone was on the same page, which was extremely helpful throughout the job. The work progressed quickly, and even though the guys were delayed due to Building Control causing some issues (nothing caused by NMB), Ben and Nev always kept us in the loop. Once the job was finished, Nev kept in touch and told us to create a snag list for anything that might flag up, and after sending it Ben and Ryan came back and finished up, no questions asked. We're extremely pleased with the job NMB have done with our kitchen and we're pretty sure we now spend about 80% of our time in the room! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend NMB to a friend or family member, and we would certainly use them again for any future projects.Moreexpand_more

Nev, Leon and the team were brilliant. We couldn't be happier with the worth they've done. We had a wall between our kitchen and dining room removed, and a full refit of the kitchen and dining area. Nevin really took the time to help us work out the best way to set things up. We ended up with a different layout to the one we originally had planned, and the end result was much better because of it. The experience was excellent compared to some of the big kitchen companies (like Wren's). Nev put time into consulting and supporting our decisions, and was flexible when what we wanted changed. The build itself was impressively fast. Leon and his team not only did a superb job on the work we had planned, but also helped out with other pieces of work that came up over the course of the project. They were genuinely helpful and really went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with everything. The quality of work was exceptional, too. If you're looking for something similar I would absolutely recommend talking to NMB. They were worlds ahead of anyone else we spoke to.Moreexpand_more

Just had a kitchen diner completed and couldn’t be happier. From the start Nev planned and created the vision and was always on hand to make amendments, answer questions etc even when I was being completely indecisive! The kitchen units are beautiful and even though a few hiccups (manufacturing faults) was sorted and now looks amazing. Leon and Bruce were always happy to go that extra when I suddenly decided I wanted another wall plastering or a can you just! Would certainly be using again for other home improvements we need in the future.

I was looking to renovate my new family home whilst living in Hong Kong at the time and needed someone trustworthy to remodel the house exactly how we wanted. We wanted to create an open plan kitchen and diner by knocking through a wall and adding in new skylights, specific design to my wife’s specifications where she wanted an island, completely renovated and remodelled my bathrooms and replastered the whole house and have my home rewired. Nev from NMB gave me that level of confidence and comfort in one meeting where he took the time to break out work, costs and schedules. He worked with us across an 8hr time zone difference over FaceTime, whatsapp and email where the end result was spectacular. His cost did not go up from his estimate and he accommodated for additional that came up, his ‘swings and roundabouts’ as Nev calls it. An honest, trustworthy individual with integrity. Something I needed in a building company which I found with Nev and his team. I hear so many stories of dodgy builders leaving half way through after getting annoyed with owners or just absconding. Experienced none of this with Nev and his team where they worked with us and saw things through. Living 1000’s of miles away from where the work was being carried out naturally caused a lot of anxiety and stress. But Nev did amazing with putting us at ease throughout the several months work was being carried out. Of course there were hiccups and miscommunications as you would expect in any large sized project, but where Nev differentiated was he would see it through and make the adjustments, alterations and accommodate the changes to get our home exactly how we wanted it. Nev has our Dekton piece for our island popup socket cut three times until it was perfect and lined exactly as required. No shortcuts taken!Nev gave lots of suggestions and advice throughout and he gave us a great first time experience of working with builders which has set the bar very high. I would not use anyone else if you want the quality workmanship, and the reliability of a building team that has integrity. Ben, Rob and Ross have done a great job with ensuring we were able to move in by Christmas. Really thankful for your work and hopefully any more work will be a lot easier with being in the same time zone. I would highly recommended Nev, the patience and the professionalism was a different standard to any builders we have come across. Already recommended him to family, wouldn’t use anyone else. .Moreexpand_more

Everyone one at NMB were great from the very start and this continued throughout all stages of our project. We were really pleased with their attitude throughout the project and still can't quite believe how amazing it all looks. If you're thinking of using Nevin and his team we could not recommend them highly enough: - Nevin was patient following our initial quote and gave us time to consider different options and was happy to work with us and adjust costs/works accordingly to fit out budget. - Nevin was upfront when the works were likely to start which proved to be accurate and we met Ben for a chat before the actual works started, - There were no hidden extras from the initial quote and all the work was completed on time, - Ben and Ryan (the team doing the build) did a great job. They we're very friendly, accommodating and made us all feel very relaxed. Finally we are all extremely happy in our new kitchen. It has achieved and surpassed everything which we wanted from it and we are looking forward to many happy years in our new hub of our home. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN, ITS PERFECT.

I'm happy to say that I can add another rave review to the list for NMB. I have just had my tiny bathroom and even smaller loo made into one new space and am so pleased with the result. Nevin was thoughtful and creative with the design, and mindful that I had a budget to keep to. Then I was introduced to Leon who took down the wall, gutted the rooms and fitted the suit. Leon's work ethic, and quality of work, are impressive. Together their customer service is first class. I highly recommend NMB and I'm already sure I will use them again.

OK so you're looking at reviews for builders because like me you're worried about cowboy builders and you've heard all the horror stories about jobs going wrong. If like me you've spent hours trawling the internet looking for someone reliable and good to do work in your house and trust them to do a great job for your hard earned cash then look no further, you've found them…. The work I had done was to have my kitchen and my dining room made in to one large kitchen with a supporting wall taken out. That's all Ii had in my mind then NMB stepped in. Well, Nev from NMB stepped in…Nev came round and threw so many ideas at us that we haven't even thought of but we liked the idea of quite a few of them so he went away and came back with a price for each project. When we decided on the one we liked Nev came with plans and even a 3D photo of what our kitchen would look like. Now here's the good thing, dont be afraid of changing your mind on the design of your project Nev is more than happy to alter and ammend your plans as many times as you like before the final plans are drawn up which is brilliant… Anyway, after multiple changes in the design we went ahead with NMB to do our kitchen……. Enter the builder/kitchen fitter…Leon…. What can I say? What a brilliant, friendly, down to earth man…You have any questions (and I had loads) while the work is being carried out Leon is more than happy to answer them and put your mind at ease, which for me is brilliant. Leon actually does go above and beyond when it comes to working on your project and his attention to detail is second to none. I soon came to realise its all about customer satisfaction with NMB and we couldn't be happier with the results…. NMB arn't the cheapest around and they are definately not the dearest, (i should know we had multiple quotes) but you really do get what you pay for…. Also the fact that I had to wait 2 months for work to start because they are so busy is in my eyes a plus factor, if they're busy, they're good…So in a nutshell……. She got her dream kitchen.Moreexpand_more

NMB supplied and fitted our kitchen a couple of months ago and were great to deal with from start to finish. Nev spent lots of time with us designing the kitchen and coming up with solutions to ensure we could get everything we wanted. The work carried out by Ben was excellent. Obviously there were a few hiccups along the way but these were dealt with quickly and professionally. Nothing was too much trouble, and I can be very fussy! The end result is a kitchen/diner we love to spend time in now and everyone comments on how great it looks. I wouldn't hesitate to call on NMB for future jobs.

NMB completed a dining room/kitchen knock through with a kitchen redesign and fit just before Christmas 2018. Nev was very professional and attentive in helping us to design the kitchen and responded to all my queries throughout the build. Ben and Paul, the builders, were brilliant, working quickly and efficiently and being patient with any concerns I had. The work was finished within the time frame given and I am delighted with the result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We found NMB online and were impressed with the excellent reviews. We had a few people come around to give us a quote for our new kitchen but only Nev came and spent a couple of hours taking details and measurements, drawing up plans and gave us a very detailed quote within a few days. Before work started Nev came back twice to check all was correct and we were happy with everything. Ben was excellent in doing the work itself, friendly, helpful and kept us up to date with how things were going and checking on any queries. The work was done exactly on schedule and we're very happy with the quality of the work and love our new kitchen!
