Ralston Builders (Renfrewshire) Ltd

Its so hard to know who to trust when getting any work done on your property but from start to finish Ralston was brilliant they done a side extension with a shower room for us , they were here first thing in morn and worked through all day , nothing was ever a problem for them , they guys were friendly and always cleaned up after themselves which is a bonus , every day when i came home from work i could see the progression i would never use another company for anything again they were excellent from start to finish.

We had an additional room built on top of an existing garage conversion.

John and the rest of his team were excellent, completing everything to a high standard. They communicated well throughout the project and finished within the expected timeframe. We also requested for some additional work to be done during the project and they were more than happy to accommodate.

I would highly recommend Ralston Builders and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for future work.

We had extensive work carried out by Ralston Builders including a new porch, demolition of old conservatory and new extension, new rendering, new kitchen, new windows, new roof and ground works.

We are delighted with the job Ralston did. The team were punctual, polite and trustworthy. Communication from John was excellent. We added a considerable amount of work as the job progressed and this was accommodated without issue.
We had selected products that we wanted to use on the exterior of the property which were sourced and thoroughly researched by John and Lee.
All the team clearly have a keen eye for detail and take pride in their work.
Ralston builders came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. We are pleased we went with a local, family business and would not hesitate in using them again.

We had an extensive amount of work carried out by Ralston Builders over a 6 month period. They were very professional and reliable, turned up every day on time and kept us up to date with the work they were carrying out and any additional costs that may be incurred due to complications. We had some non standard, tricky work involved in the build but it was no problem for them.

Their work is carried out to a very high standard and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering an extension or new build.

We found them all really helpful and a lovely team to work with, very pleasant and considerate. They were very clean and tidy. I’m so glad we chose them and I’d definitely use them again in the future.

We would highly recommend Ralston Builders to anyone looking to have building work carried out. Our project consisted of a 2 storey extension, re-roof the existing property, change the internal layout of the existing property and to create a monoblock driveway. The team are hard working and trustworthy and take a great deal of pride in the standard of their work. The project was run smoothly from start to finish and we were delighted with the final product.

Very lucky to have used Ralston Builders, excellent from start to finish...very impressive family run business who work hard to ensure expectations are exceeded and renovations are stress free.

I would not hesitate to entrust this builder with your renovations. The work is undertaken to the highest of standard, with excellent communication at all stages of the work. The team is very experienced and you will not be disappointed with this builder.

We had a single story 2 bed annexe extension completed with its own bathroom, kitchen and living areas, along with adjoining garage conversion giving shared utility room space and a new home office area to the main home. Design was completed by architects to an extremely high standard and executed brilliantly by Ralston Builders.

The complete experience was a joy from start to finish with in depth discussions up front with owner John ensuring client understanding in the process and design was assured from the very beginning. During the build process, all workmen were polite, friendly and extremely hard working, even through some of the worst winter weather imaginable, they soldiered on providing their most professional services as always. They never stopped and always took time to ensure the work areas were as tidy as can be at the end of each day. This extended to any of the specialist sub-contractors used (bricklayers and electricians) who were also highly skilled and it was obvious they all had an amazing working relationship and plenty of experience of working together as a fantastic team.

Discussions between builder and client were regular keeping information flow well up to date and any possible challenges or uncertainties when a typical minor build issue occurred, were dealt with so swiftly and diligently, it really was a joy to have such skilled and experienced people on hand to advise and inform on what was such a costly project for us, the client (our first ever building project!). Nothing was ever too much hassle and a few extras which developed during the build (such as installation of a Howdens kitchen!) were costed and executed so well.

We simply cannot rate these guys highly enough! If you are lucky to get a space in their jam packed calendar, then you really do have the best of the best. You will have no qualms if Ralston builders are on your project.

Ralston Builders built us a fourth bedroom with en-suite on top of an existing garage conversion. We were delighted with the end result and can’t fault anything during the build. We experienced delays purely due to covid but they worked around these delays and continually kept us up to date with progress. They worked additional hours to ensure the job was complete due to our baby arriving imminently. I believe Ralston went over and above what I ever expected of a builder, and would highly recommend for future work.

Work carried out is to a very high standard, very professional service by all staff and left a clean tidy site at the end of each day. All works were carried out with minimal disruption to our property or neighbours.

Would highly recommend Ralston builders to anyone looking for work to be carried out.

John and his team at Ralston builders were great to deal with from the offset. The quote was good, communication was good and the work completed has been to a very high standard. John has gave us some good advice and solutions to unforeseen issues that have arisen and overall I am very happy to recommend Ralston builders and will be using them again in the future.

We recently had a single storey extension with patio completed by Ralston builders. John, Lee, Ethan, Martin and the other traders used were fantastic. An extremely reliable, hard working conscientious team. They all took pride in their work, and ensured the quality of workmanship inside and out were of a high standard. We added on several items not included in the original build and John was very accommodating and ensured everything was completed within the time frame. John organised everything well in advance, kept us informed on a day to day basis which ensured the build was completed to our satisfaction and within a quicker time frame than which was expected. Highly recommend John and his team, Ralston builders are a well known family run reputable company, which proved we were right to trust our instincts to use a local trader.

Hard working team. High quality finishes inside and out.

I required building work on both my gardens and I picked Ralston builders to complete the job.
From start to finish They were unbelievably professional kept all areas clean and went above and beyond to complete a magnificent job.

I highly recommend Ralston builders for all building work and have recommended them to all my family and friends.

You will struggle to find a better building company!

A big thank you to John and Martin.

Regards
Neil

Very happy customer - thanks again Ralston Builders.

We had our old conservatory demolished and a new extension built. The old kitchen area was converted into a shower room with a toilet and the new extension is now a kitchen. They created a patio area outside the new kitchen.
The quality of work was to a very high standard. Any issues we had were quickly resolved as John and his team take pride in their work. The timescale given was accurate. We are extremely happy with all work and the guys were friendly and professional. John kept in regular contact and kept us up to date with progress and any problems he was having.
John kept any extras costs to a minimum and had lots of suggestions of what to do with our extension.
We would definitely recommend Ralston Builders because of their high standard of work, the cost and the brilliant team of craftsmen.

Many thanks to John and his team for building me a new garden wall, the workmanship was first class, they turned up exactly when they said they would and they were friendly and courteous, they cleaned up after themselves and left everything neat and tidy, would highly recommend them to anybody, so thanks again John and his team.

Demolish existing rear porch, build new extension to rear for new kitchen, create new opening into existing living room and alter existing kitchen to create new downstairs shower room.

The finished project is excellent, the new kitchen is beautiful and has completely transformed my house, the shower room is well finished and a great addition. I am very pleased with all aspects of the finished project. John runs a small team of very accomplished craftsman. John was open and upfront throughout keeping in regular contact and keeping me up to date with any problems they encountered and solutions. The problems were generally small and were not of their making (plumbing / drainage mainly) and the solutions were very fair, John worked hard to keep my costs down.

I struggled a bit with the mess when the works were on site but this was more down to my own lack of experience of home builds. John warned me from the outset that it would be untidy - I just did not realise how disruptive it would be, but once complete, cleaned and tidy the disruption was completely forgotten and the end product first class.

We had an internal chimney removed and some other more cosmetic work done. The work was done to a high standard with excellent communication throughout, particularly when weather required a change to the planned start date. Disruption in the house was inevitable but John and his team kept this to a minimum leaving us with less clearing up to do than expected.

We were pleased that we had used this company and would be happy to use again for any future work required.

Ralston Builders from start to finish were extremely professional and reliable. We would without doubt recommend and use again

Ralston Builders carried out a two storey extension to our property in 2017. From the start of the project John Wingate (the owner) was in regular communication (almost daily) raised any issues immediately and always had options available as possible solutions. He ensured that all work was carried out to the required standard and that the project was complete on time. From initial quotation for the work to the final completion, there were no additional or 'hidden costs', the only change in pricing was as a result of requests to make changes to the plans or upgrade certain fixtures or fittings. Overall, very happy with the work, excellent value for money.

John and Lee and the team at ralston builders have been excellent, from the start of the planning process through to the build, they have put in extra hours over and above at nights and weekends to ensure that my family got back into our home for Christmas. Always willing to listen to any ideas and able to give professional advice regarding changes. I would highly recommend Ralston builders to anyone who was contemplating an extension/ home improvements
