Why Choose Us

I live in a block of flats in Beckenham, Kent. I just had to post my own personal thanks for the amazing team that attended the property last week. Jack, Dean and Lewis, who replaced 14 new front doors in four days which, in itself, I think is amazing, without taking into account a minimum drive of 2 hours from Portsmouth to Beckenham and return each day. They arrived by 8am every day, worked continuously, were totally dedicated to their work (even Lewis, who I assume is an apprentice and being well trained). They were extremely professional, very polite and helpful and went above and beyond. They deserve every accolade going.
Carole Shaw
With CDM as our single contractor we have recently completed a major set of internal and external remedial works to a building orginating in 1800s and since converted into 10 self contained apartments. The work has been challenging over a 3 month period of poor weather and we can only thank Kyle Legge and his excellent team for their tenacity to overcome unfavourable conditions and with their willingness to be available when possible and complete to a high standard which is much admired. I can only recommend that you consider employing CDM so that you can enjoy the satisfaction, in the same way, of having a job done well supported by abilities and enthusiasm which was welcomed by all.

I am the site manager of a school. We used CDM for some building work required on our site. CDM were selected as they offered the most competitive quote and came across as very competent and knowledgable on their site visit. They were punctual, very helpful and polite and well presented. We are extremely happy with the works they have done for us and the school and myself personally will definitely use CDM contractors again. Highly recommend. 5 stars.
