I write once again to sing the praises of Mr Nick Bowden of Binzy Building Services Ltd, who recently did a superb job for me in fitting much needed new soffits, fascia’s and guttering on my property, and also redecorating the front porch ceiling, front door and garage door. It is wonderful for all of us elderly folk to have such a reliable very skilled, hardworking, kind, caring, helpful person in Mr Bowden, to accomplish all aspects of property maintenance for us, and id on a rare occasion he is not able to do a particular job, then he always knows a reliable contractor who can!! In short Mr Bowden is an absolute gem for us all!

Nick Bowden (Binzy Building Services) came to my house today to sort out a problem with my downstairs toilet.

He arrived on time, is friendly and did a good job, so I would recommend him.

We have found Nick to be an able plumber, with a pleasant manner, and a wealth of problem solving knowledge. He is a tidy worker too. Last year he solved the problem of a leaking tap, where the main water pipe enters our house, and this week he has solved the problem of a syphon regularly hissing in a toilet and replaced an old shower and kitchen tap.

We would recommend him to anyone.

I requested a replacement toilet push button and kitchen sink mixer tap.

From start to finish, the plumber - Chris was professional in every way.  He was friendly.  He  informed and explained to me what needs to be done, the parts required, with a quote which he texted to me.

I am very pleased with the standard of the work, which was good value and would recommend him (which I have done to my friends over 55).

I would definitely use him again and have put his number on my go to list for a plumber.

We would just like to say that Nic Bowden and Liam did a brilliant job with our loft insulation. It looks great and they also went over and above with a couple of extra jobs. Nothing was too much trouble. They always cleaned up after themselves, so would highly recommend them.

I found Nick of Binzy Building Services via your website. 

He responded to communication promptly, was efficient, helpful and friendly. Nick also went out of his way to complete the job, replacing a bathroom tap and waste, to a high standard and promptly. We’d certainly use his services again, should we require any maintenance work.

I just wanted to write and say how impressed I was with Nick from Binzy Building Services. I had a bad experience with a plumber and was nervous to try and find someone to repair the damage. I was told about your list of recommended builders. 

He sorted all the problems and was professional and understanding. Cleaned up after the work. I would definitely recommend them to other people.

Many thanks

Just to let you know that I contacted Nick regarding removing some concrete next to a path and replacing with gravel. He quoted promptly, carried out the work when he said he would and made some very helpful suggestions along the way. I would have no hesitation in contacting him again.

I contacted Nick about the repair that I needed . Nick was polite professional and courteous He was quick to respond. He gave a quote for the work and a timeframe in which the work could be completed. The quote was the best in terms of cost and timeframe. The work was conducted as he said . The job done was perfectly . During the work he was pleasant and professional. Always phoning ahead and did a great job . Thank you Nick.  I would recommend him for anyone needing work done . Trustworthy efficient polite and friendly . Thank you Age UK MK for recommending him

Thanks very much to Nick, who responded to my text about a plumbing problem (washing machine/ kitchen outflow cracked).  He responded within a few hours of my sending the text, and popped by to take a look.  He came the following day and fixed the problem.  I am grateful.  I thought he did a very good job, and I was interested in his comment that joints should work with washers (and not need extra eg plumbers’ mate to seal).  So far, fingers crossed, washing machine working really well, along with kitchen sink outflow.  Thanks, again, to Nick, and to Age Uk MK for keeping this list.

Helped by the information on your recommended traders site I used Binzy Building Services for several jobs on my property. The work included repair of fencing, fitting LED lights in the garage and repairing some brickwork. I was very pleased with the work that was done, including the cleanup afterwards, which was much appreciated.

"Just a note to say Binzy Building Services have replaced some woodwork, patched up some bricks, done other repairs and painted the house, all done very satisfactorily."

We needed a washing machine plumbed in quickly. Binzy was very obliging and came out as quickly as he could. The job wasn’t all that straightforward but he continued to be very positive and obliging. At the same time he gave us some very helpful advice regarding a broken part of our shower, which he will sort for us if he can. We would definitely use his services again.

HI just to say a big thank you to Binzy. I rang this morning as had a leaking mixer tap that was getting worse. I am disabled and struggling. Neil senior came out checked the tap i would need and went out to buy new mixer tap. He came back dropped it off and said his son would be out to fix it. I am so relieved and grateful to them both. As it has all been done as promised and in time promised. Now have new mixer tap and no more leaks. Thank you so much for prompt action. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Binzy and Son. Very grateful happy customer.

Thank you for recommending Nick Bowden of Binzy Building Services Ltd.

He was very busy, but came as early as he could, certainly within 24 hours.

The job that needed doing was to stop a leak from our mains water supply, which comes into the house via a blue plastic pipe, which attaches to copper piping with joints and taps etc.

There were quite a few setbacks in his attempt to restore order, and he went to buy piping and attachments at least twice, finding he had to change his tactics in order to stop the leak. He discussed everything with us as he went along, and in the end, made the shape of the piping less complicated. He would not stop until he had finished.

He was polite and approachable at all times, even when the job became frustrating.

He was with us about 3 hours. We will use him again- we need new radiators!

Nick and son from Binzy Building Services Ltd , whose address I obtained from Age UK MK, have done a good job on bolstering up my fence. They came promptly and cleared up any mess. They told me they also do painting and repairs around the house.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Nick Bowden from Binzy Building Services for making my kitchen and bathroom safer and more accessible for my needs.

Nick is a very reliable, trustworthy and kind man who is keen to listen, offer practical advice and carry out professional work whilst keeping my son and I fully engaged.

He has repaired ceilings, repositioned my washing machine and electrical sockets, added and extended work surfaces, repaired sliding doors, replaced and wired in wall heaters and tiled areas, leaving everywhere safe and tidy. 

I would very happily recommend him and the quality of his work.

We recently contacted BBS to install a bannister on our stairs. From the moment I contacted Nick Bowden I have had nothing but professional advice.Nick came and measured up and quoted on the Thursday, giving me full details of what he would do and why. The installation was the next day. Again as he was working he was explaining what he was doing.

When finished he cleaned up and left the staircase clean and tidy.

I highly recommend BBS.

Nick is now my go to person for jobs  I need doing. Today he replaced a broken light switch and installed LED lighting in my kitchen and bathroom. I am very pleased with the change and it will save money in the long run. With the price of electricity, every little helps! Nick is very friendly but efficient, with reasonable charges.

I called Nick from Binzy Building Services Ltd last week when we discovered my mum's toilet cistern wasn't filling very quickly. Thinking we might have to wait a few days I was pleasantly surprised when Nick said he could come the following afternoon.

Sure enough Nick arrived on time and was soon attending to the job in-hand. Although I wasn't in attendance for the most part, when I did arrive at mum's, Nick took a few moments to explain what work he was doing and pointed out where the problem was located.

Job done, mum seems pretty pleased with his work anyway, I know it's been worrying her for quite some time and I'm happy to say Nick seems to have done a good job and for a reasonable price, thanks Nick!

Nick Binzy came out to replace a kitchen light and a kitchen mixer tap for my parents.  They have asked me to say that they were exceptionally pleased with the way he completed the job and the cost was very fair and competitive.

Thank you to AgeUK MK for recommending him.

A quick note on behalf of my grandparents, P & A Johnson, who can’t thank you enough for the excellent services of Nick who I believe is known as Binzy.Nick went above and beyond the work he was booked for, sorting a couple of bits and even more importantly supporting Allan so he could get out into the garden to sit for the first time in months. It made their year!

We’ve booked some additional work with Nick and look forward to seeing him again soon. 

Laura

Nick from BBS (Binzy Building Services Ltd) has been to sort out some issues for my Dad, Bob Hughes. He fixed a broken toilet cistern and put a new lock on the front door.
Nick has been fantastic and extremely patient. I had to travel from Sidcup in Kent and the traffic was horrendous. He waited for me to arrive which was nearly an hour after our agreed time.
We will definitely be using his services again.

I would like to highly recommend Nick from Binzy Building having done an excellent job for me. He instantly understood the complexity of the job, sourced appropriate materials and carried out the work efficiently. Most especially he has a very good attitude, trusting and respectful.

Wed 7th September we used them to renew the felt roof of our garden shed. The work was well done, tidy and all rubbish cleared. All for a reasonable price which was important as we are pensioners.

Binzy Building made repairs to my shed roof and flat garage roof recently, replacing some felting on the shed and sealing joints on the garage. I'm pleased to say the roofs have remained watertight since.  I found Nick (senior) to be knowledgeable, versatile and reliable, completing the work with the minimum of fuss.  He even popped back after some heavy rain to check the roofs were holding up.  I would confidently ask him to undertake any other repairs I might have in the future.

Once again Nick Bowden at Binzy Building Services helped me out at short notice. He returned my phone message the same evening, arrived to do the job as soon as he had finished the one he was on, and the two of them had all three of my  jobs sorted in under an hour. 

Very reasonable price and helpful trustworthy people. He gave me an estimate for my next job which will be an awkward one with advice and a reasonable price again. I recommend  him.

I rang Nick at 9am today to ask him to replace my Security light. He gave me a reasonable price and arrived to do the job at 12.30. I was very pleased with this level of service and will be using him again in the future for any work I need doing.

Just wanted to leave some positive feedback about a company you use for Age UK Trusted Traders, who did some work for us today.

Nick from 'Binzy Building Services' did a fantastic job repairing one of our fence panels, by making some adjustments and securing it back up to it's original position, after it has been blown down by the storms this year. Nick was flexible and managed to fit us in to do the job during his busy schedule. He was professional, efficient, explained what he planned to do with the adjustments, and consulted with us first before doing them. 

I would recommend  using Binzy Building Services as we felt completely comfortable with this professional service, felt it was reasonably priced, and a job well done! Thank you BBS!

Mrs. Bond, Milton Keynes.

I recently had to find a company to replace the rear door on the garage at my Mum’s house.

Having read some reviews on the Age UK MK website I rang Nick at Binzy Building Services. As my Mum is 89 years old and suffers very badly with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis she’s always worried about new people visiting. Nick came over very quickly and explained everything that was needed, gave an estimate and organised Graham to visit and discuss a convenient time to undertake the work.

I cannot praise both Nick and Graham, not only for a wonderful job but also for their kindness to my Mum and I. We couldn’t be more pleased and would highly recommend Binzy Building Services.

Just to say what excellent service we have received from Nick at BBS Ltd. Earlier in the year he was able to clear a blockage and fit a new tap to my old mum’s sink quickly and efficiently  and just yesterday during the Jubilee bank holiday he came out within half an hour to fault find and engineer a solution to an electrical problem meaning my mum had power throughout the weekend until his electrician could fully secure the issue later on. Always cheerful and quite happy to repeat himself when dealing with my mum who has dementia I cannot recommend Nick and his team highly enough.

Just to say how relieved I was with the removal of my TV aerial by Nick Bowden. I contacted him, explained the situation regarding the aerial being dangerously loose and needing to be taken down and within the hour Nick arrived and carried out the work and even tidied up for me afterwards, an excellent job.

Thank you for recommending him to me.

I had water leaking out from under the kitchen sink cupboard onto the kitchen floor every time I used the sink. I found Nick Bowden's details on the Age UK Trusted Traders page and contacted him.  Nick and his son came out very quickly, fixed the leak and did a brilliant job repairing my water damaged cupboard. They were very friendly and polite, left everything very tidy, and I was very pleased with their service. I will definitely recommend them and use them again.

This is to let you know that I have used Binzy Building Services to erect fencing for me which had been blown down in the recent storm. Their work is exemplary. They clear up well, and I always feel sure that they had done a really good job.

This is the second time I have used them and both times they have been excellent.

Just a note to say that Binzy and Nick did an excellent job on our bathroom refit which was completed yesterday morning, recommended by Age UK Milton Keynes.  
We were pleased that they took the time to explain what was happening at each stage, including the original ordering of items suitable for the size of our bathroom and made sure that the installation of the raised toilet, shower seat and rails were suitable heights for my disabled husband before fitting. It took a little longer than we thought it would, mainly attributed to delivery of items to site rather than workload issues, but we were delighted with the finish, so it was worth the extra time and attention to detail. The bathroom looks great. Thank you.

My problem this Saturday evening, New Year's Day, was that my up-and-over garage door broke a cable and got stuck neither up nor down. I looked on your Trusted Traders scheme and phoned Nick Bowden under Builder & Gen. maintenance.Nick was very helpful on the phone, he explained that I would need a specialist garage door person, but that he would call round straightaway to close the garage door, so that it was not left part open, which was a worry. He took my address and confirmed the call out fee.

Nick turned up as promised and managed to close the garage door and explained what I should say when I contact the specialist person. Nick was pleasant and helpful and did a great job.

Thanks to Nick and to Age UK MK.
Happy New Year!

We wanted our sink tap replacing together with a replacement waste pipe and two sink wastes and asked Nick Bowden from your trusted trader scheme to carry out the work. In theory it was a straightforward job but due to the age of the double sink and the fact that nothing had been replaced since the house had been built it turned out to be far from easy. Parts had to be specially sourced and purchased and the build up of limescale over the years enhanced the difficulties.

I was so impressed how the plumber rose to the challenges, spending significant time sourcing items and remaining courteous and calm throughout. In addition I was kept fully informed of how the work was progressing and why some of the parts were not immediately available. I was very happy with the quality of the workmanship and the final result (I had feared that they may have walked away due to the fact that it was not an easy job or advised a new sink).

I would recommend them to other people and they are a credit to your scheme

I phoned Binzy Building Services Ltd at 10:15 this morning, Monday 8th November.
Nick Bowden gave a cheerful, quick and efficient service which was also a reasonable price.
By 11:30am this morning I had an unblocked kitchen sink and was able to use my dishwasher again.
Thank you Nick for such a quick response.

Would like to say how pleased I am with one of your trusted traders. BBS phoned as promised and attended to my mum’s electrical problems with speed. It is now all fixed and I have also booked work with him myself.

I recently had a leak from my ensuite.  I rang Nick Bowden from BBS at 8.05am and he was at my house within half an hour.  He sorted my probem quickly and efficiently and was most courteous and friendly.  I would definitely use him again.

Mrs Withers, Milton Keynes

19/5/21
On a recommendation from someone who had used him before, Nick replaced fence panels and repaired my gate which had got damaged in recent winds and painted both sides of the fence and gate.  The job was carried out quickly and was reasonably priced.

Just a quick note to say how absolutely delighted I am with the very prompt and urgent plumbing service I received from Nick Bowden today. I am so grateful for his rapid and reassuring response, furthermore I’m completely satisfied with his friendly yet professional manner.

Jeannette Stanley, Milton Keynes

11/5/21
I found Nick’s details on your Trusted Traders page and he carried out a number of smaller jobs both inside and outside the house. He then helped me to carry out a full refurbishment of my house and his team were really helpful, explaining everything to a complete novice like me. They turn up when they say they will and it’s reassuring to have a team you can trust. I have no hesitation in recommending Nick and his team.

Mrs H Davies, Milton Keynes
