Client Stories

Trusted by clients who value the result

Real feedback from clients who wanted a clearer process and a better finished space.

  • Ayhan and his team did a superb job - planning, managing and completing the building of our extension and new terrace; fitting of a new kitchen and major refurbishment of 2 bathrooms. We chose ACS Building Services after seeing 2 other similar jobs they were doing/had done in our street. They came highly recommended and exceeded expectations. It could have been a very stressful and uncomfortable 6 months but Ayhan and team were a delight to have around (considerate, tidy, professional, focused - excellent at their trades and beyond). In addition to his core team, Ayhan has a network of high quality craftsmen and suppliers - all top notch. As well as his excellent building skills and experience, Ayhan is very professional in his approach to planning, costing and financial management /billing. He is great at communicating, flexible and helpful with design ideas. The whole team was very professional, highly skilled, punctual and courteous. Highly recommended.

  • Ayhan and his team started work at our property in the Summer of 2024. The project was a side return and first floor extension. The work ran to schedule and Ayhan and Darren were the best. We couldn't be happier with the work that they did. This is the first time we have ever done something like this not only were patient, but took their time to answer our questions, always checked in with us, made sure we were kept up to date on processes and timelines at all times. We have had neighbours tell us horror stories about their experiences and we just felt so lucky that as much as the dust and mess can get to you or noise or living out of 3 rooms (but that is normal on any building project) ACS always tidied up when they left, were nice to be around and did such a great job. I couldn't be happy with our extension. We were almost sad when they left. No joke!!! couldn't recommend them more.

  • We have used ACS for two building projects – the removal of a chimney breast in 2024, and a loft conversion with dormer in 2025. On both projects Ayhan and his team were excellent. Both were delivered on budget and to schedule. We particularly appreciated the regular updates from Ayhan and he was always available to answer questions, small or large. In general the whole ACS team were considerate, friendly and happy to help. They worked with us when scopes or specifications had to change and the work was all done to a high standard - we are very happy with the end result. Finding a builder can be a fraught process, ACS will definitely be our first point of contact for any future projects.

Questions

What clients ask before starting

How much will my project cost?

This is always a difficult question to answer because, although there are average build costs for certain types of projects, every project is different. The scope of work is tailored to each client’s individual requirements, so no two projects are really the same. There is also a wide range of builders and levels of service available. Some operate on a more basic, cost-focused basis, while others, like us, provide a more comprehensive, higher-quality and tailored service. Naturally, the level of service and specification you choose will have an impact on the overall cost. At our initial meeting, we will usually provide some rough guide costs to give you a realistic ballpark figure. Once we have a complete plans package - including the final architectural drawings and structural calculations - we can then work through the details and provide a much more accurate build cost. Our aim is to give you a clear understanding of the likely cost as early as possible, while ensuring that the final quotation properly reflects the project you actually want to build.

How long does a renovation project usually take?

Timelines depend on the project size, scope and material availability. After the first review, clients receive a clearer project timeline.

What areas do you cover?

Based in Hove and serving Brighton, Portslade, Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick, Worthing and surrounding areas of East Sussex. We generally work within around a 30-minute drive of Brighton, although we are happy to discuss projects further afield.

What type of building work do you undertake?

We specialise in loft conversions, house extensions, structural alterations and kitchen renovations, as well as wider residential renovation and refurbishment projects.

Do you manage the whole project from start to finish?

Yes. We take a hands-on approach to project management, keeping the build organised and making the process as straightforward as possible for our clients. One point of contact throughout - direct communication with the ACS team from the initial conversation through to completion. Trusted trades and professionals - we coordinate the experienced, fully insured tradespeople involved in your project. Clear communication and coordination - we keep everyone working to the same plan and address issues quickly when they arise. Smooth, efficient delivery - careful planning and coordination help keep your project moving and minimise unnecessary delays. Our aim is simple: take the complexity out of your building project while maintaining the quality and attention to detail ACS is known for.

Can you work with my architect or structural engineer?

Absolutely. We regularly work alongside clients’ own architects, structural engineers and other professionals involved in a project. We can work from existing plans and specifications, coordinate with your professional team throughout the build, and help ensure the work is delivered smoothly and to the agreed requirements. If you don't have an architect or structural engineer yet, we can also recommend trusted professionals where appropriate.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We have full public liability insurance and produce these documents prior to the project starting.
