Run by builders.
Not by salesmen.
UABS Building Solutions is a young limited company, but the team behind it has over 45 years of combined professional building experience and over 650 completed projects between them across Essex and Suffolk. The brand is new, the trade expertise is not.
Three things we hold to.
Build quality first
Foundations, structure and waterproofing get the same care as the visible finishes. The bits that fail expensively in five years are the bits that nobody sees on completion. We do those properly first.
Fixed pricing, in writing
Every quote is itemised. Materials, labour and prime-cost sums are listed line by line so you can see exactly what is included before you sign anything. No estimates. No round-number guesses.
Direct communication
You speak to the person running your job. Not a call centre, not a salesperson who hands the project to a different team after the deposit. The same site lead from day one to handover.
Three things you will not see.
Cutting corners on what is hidden
No skimping on insulation, fixings, damp-proofing, drainage or waterproof detail. The test of a job is the heating bill in year three and the leak that never happens.
Vague quotes that grow on site
No round-number estimates that morph into something larger once work starts. Every variation gets a written price before it goes ahead, signed off by you.
Surprise costs at the back end
No hidden mark-ups on materials we have already quoted, no late-stage charges for items that should have been in the brief, no end-of-job invoices for work you did not authorise.
Family run. Colchester based.
UABS Building Solutions is a family-run business based in Colchester, working across a 50-mile radius into Essex, Suffolk and the south Cambridgeshire border. The team brings over 45 years of combined professional building experience and over 650 completed projects between them, built up working at other companies before UABS Ltd was founded.
Renovations and extensions are our priority work, alongside kitchens, bathrooms, lofts, roofing, driveways and patios, underfloor heating and general building. We work on private homes day-to-day and take on commercial work selectively.
