GDL London

Our experience with everyone at GDL London was professional, timely, and top class. They listened to our ideas and were able to problem solve whenever the situation would require some originality and creativity. The attention to detail was phenomenal! I would not at all hesitate to recommend this company to anyone in need of a high-class Design + Build Service

It was great to work with Mariyan and team on our project, they were very helpful and transparent from the very beginning. Wish you best and hope we will be able to work on future projects together.

I recently had the privilege to avail of the services of GDL, a premier construction and design firm based in the heart of London. A review of their service is long overdue and I must say, I am more than delighted to write one for this distinguished firm. In the spirit of true British elegance, GDL stands out as the epitome of exquisite workmanship and top-tier service. Firstly, their professionalism is unparalleled. From the initial consultation to the final unveiling, the GDL team was highly communicative, ensuring I was constantly updated about the project's progress. Their thorough understanding of the field and attentive approach is second to none, which resulted in a smooth process, free of unnecessary hiccups. As for the design aspect, the GDL team manifests brilliance and creativity at every step. They transformed my vision into a beautifully constructed reality, incorporating their own ingenious ideas and advanced techniques. Their affinity for maintaining the posh aesthetic while ensuring practical utility truly makes them stand out from the rest.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my experience working with GDL. Their reputation as a high-end design and build developer is well-deserved. From the initial planning stage to the final completion, GDL demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication. Their team was collaborative, listening carefully to our ideas and expectations, providing innovative and practical solutions that truly brought our vision to life. The quality of work delivered was outstanding, showcasing an excellent attention to detail. The materials used were of the highest standard, and the craftsmanship was simply exceptional. Our project was completed on time, and any challenges that arose were handled efficiently and effectively. What truly sets GDL apart is their customer service. Their team was accessible, communicative, and responsive, ensuring we were informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. We are genuinely impressed by the transformation of our space and are enjoying the beauty and functionality of the design every day. It is evident that GDL takes pride in their work and strives to exceed their client's expectations. I would highly recommend GDL to anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality design and build developer in London.

The GDL team are great - professional, meticulous and skilled, resulting in high quality work. In addition, they are proactive and have a 'can do' attitude when things deviate from the initial plan. They will also take care of any logistical issues too which can take the stress away from the client. Mariyan has great attention to detail and manages the different stages well ensuring a smooth process.

We so want to love our renovation by GDL, so much of what they did was great, but sadly quite serious issues have stopped this being the case. We had a total house renovation including loft and side-return kitchen extension. We have raised concerns with GDL during and since our works (completed early 2019) but emails and calls have been simply ignored. For context; - we were always worried that roof insulation wasn't used in our kitchen extension and sadly this week we have seen the snow on the flat roof melt, instantly. Unlike every single neighbour around us, suggesting that we were spot on and the heat is rising out of the roof - the heat in our main bedroom disappears within hours and there are drafts, suggesting that our worries about the level of expertise fitting the windows were correct The lack of response renders our 5 year structural guarantee with GDL completely useless. A very sad end to what felt like such a promising relationship at the beginning.

GDL delivered a first-class experience, falling nothing short of excellence. With Mariyan's keen eye for detail and their immaculate output, we were able to take our projects to the next level - elevating them into true masterpieces that truly speak volumes about GDL's professional standards. Working with them was an absolute pleasure - they're undisputed pros in the industry.

We have had a complete bathroom refurbishment with GDL Property some time ago. The whole team were very professional throughout the process, and we were absolutely pleased with the end result. Years after our first renovation, we are now using GDL's services again and we are already at completion phase. A very pleasant company to work with.

GDL Property completed the renovation of our entire house. From our initial meeting to the final walk through, we were put in the hands of a team of skilled and experienced professionals. What we really loved about the process was that we were given the guidance we needed – especially with the large supply items. We are both very busy people and therefore didn’t have the time to dedicate to familiarize ourselves with the details and technical specifications of the products. However, the knowledge the team had was the missing piece that helped us with our choices. Not only that, but they also helped with getting the best trade prices for us, which saved a lot of money in the end. We are extremely grateful to the whole team and would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to anybody.

GDL Property did a spectacular job renovating my house. We met early on, so I was able to describe in detail my vision. This was my first experience with a large renovation project involving customization and expansion of my kitchen, renovating several bedrooms, the living room, and the bathroom. This is why it wasn’t easy for me to loosen up and leave everything at their hands. GDL Property, however, proved to be an extremely professional company, and the manager was happy to walk us through every step of the project which really put us at ease. The team was dedicated and committed at making sure that every detail was completed to our satisfaction. We are so happy with our home now and we are very grateful to GDL Property.

We chose GDL Property because they gave the best advise on the design stage of the bathroom planning. We were not disappointed. They were punctual, clean and tidy (as much as possible) and did everything they said they would. The quality of the work was first class, we are really very pleased with all aspects of the final delivered bathroom. The house was left clean and tidy and the small amount of damage caused outside the room was repaired at no expense. I totally recommend this business.

GDL completed a large scale renovation for our family in Fulham. We hired them to to do a ground floor extension + loft conversion, which included installing an ensuite bathroom. Mariyan, Bobby and the project management team showed responsiveness throughout the entire process, which is a rarety in this industry. On a later stage, we also used their service on several items of joinery, including a kitchen. After just one meeting and a mood board from our side, the team really understood what we wanted and provided quality of joinery installations.

GDL Property did a major renovation for us. We bought a dilapidated 5 bedroom house, that had not been inhabited for 1.5years before we bought and prior to that was multi-tenanted for 15years. We had to re-design the house and reconstruct. The project involved rear extension, creation of a new room, moving bathrooms and toilets, a new kitchen and a new garden as well as complete reflooring, changing windows etc. We found GDL after we had to let go of our earlier team due to issues on their end. GDL met us in Feb 2020 and within a week of meeting us, they had workers on-site. A few weeks later COVID hit us, however that did not stop GDL. They kept going. They delivered the project in 9 months. During this time there were several outstanding elements of GDL's delivery: a) Overall finish and attention to detail. Our designers were based abroad and could not travel due to COVID. GDL worked with them to understand their drawings, suggest supply items and then delivered the designs as they looked on paper. b) High quality finish. GDL are committed to a high standard. Their workers worked hard to finish and deliver a high quality project. Everyone who visits our house comments on the fine quality of the work done - whether it be the quality of the finish or the straightness of the lines etc. c) GDL delivered a world class kitchen to us. At the risk of sounding immodest we have not seen a kitchen like this. d) Mariyan and his team understood our tastes and budgets and were always able to recommend good value products and supplies to us. They have a vast network of high quality sub-contractors. Just like the kitchen we had a few other specific requirements. Mariyan's team was able to get high quality workers and materials to deliver the project. Beyond this Mariyan and his team are all a pleasure to work with. They are thorough professionals, very relaxed even at the peak of COVID, solution orientated, dedicated to a high standard of workmanship and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Reliable and professional team, that provide outstanding service on build, design, refurbishment and remodelling. A great project management skills that allows them to complete projects meticulously and on time. High quality of work, vast experience and knowledge, and great attention to detail when it come to fulfilling the requirements of complex, high-end interior design. I’ve been working with GDL on a studio design project, and I absolutely enjoyed working with the whole team and wouldn't hesitate recommending GDL and their outstanding professional service!

I highly recommend GDL Property for the quality of their workmanship, their design insight, their professionalism and their customer service. I worked with them closely over a 2-year period as I systematically renovated my house, including a kitchen extension and basement conversion. Not only were they brilliant professionally, they were also so personally kind to my daughter and I and did everything possible to make the works as smooth as they could.

GDL Property was the main contractor to conduct works in my 2-bedroom flat in Islington. A full scale renovation included removal of all internal walls, re-plumbing, re-wiring, underfloor heating, design of 2 bathrooms, new doors and windows. Really happy with the quality of works and finishes. Bobby and the team were always responsive, helpful and would not think twice going the extra mile when needed!

We had a 3-storey full house refurb with loft conversion and garden project. Reaching out to several D&B companies, my and my husband felt that GDL was the right one for us to employ, as they showed great professionalism, ethics, always prompt communication and top notch build. We went through planning, design and build with GDL and all stages were really well handled. Builders were always on time, clean and tidy, the office was always supportive and helped a lot in making every wish of ours come true. Budget-wise we did spend slightly more than we anticipated to, but it was all down to additions and amendments which we have decided to go for along the way. Timing-wise we had a slight overrun, which was due to change of specs and a few pain in the neck suppliers. Generally, we are extremely pleased with the services GDL provided and would recommend them at any time!

We had an interior decoration project with a client who had completed a house refurbishment with GDL. The client was very happy with the result and wanted to hire them again for the decoration. Although it was a smaller project than they would normally undertake, they listened to us carefully and took the same amount of care they would have taken on a larger project. The client has a beautifully finished house now, which made the project so rewarding for us. We now recommend GDL to other clients. We are very much delighted that we have builders whom we can recommend to our clients with no hesitation.

We recently finished our refurbishment project with Grand Design London, and I must say - the results were absolutely fantastic! Even though neither myself, nor my husband are in any way savvy consturcion-wise, we never felt left out of our own project. The team took their time to explain everything and answer our questions, giving their expert advice at each step, but also listening to our preferences and wishes for the final finish. Our Project Manager, Bobby, was very kind and so accommodating - he took every chance to meet with us when we needed something, and even came along when we were picking-out the finishing touches! As for their workers, referred to as trades - they were all very professional and performed their tasks with a very high standard. It was a great experience, all things considered and, even though there were some causes of stress - all of which were of course professionally handled by GDL, there were no significant causes for delay or concern and we were able to move-in as planned - just in time for our little one! All in all - we're very happy with the services offered by Grand Design London and would recommend them for everyone who needs their house done!

Grand Design London did our house renovation, with extension and loft conversion. The project was well managed, timely done and a really great experience for us as customers. The team made sure we are always well-informed and know exactly what is expected at every stage of the process. We were given a timeline in the beginning and were helped to select the best finishes, such as kitchen, flooring, bathroom sanitary ware, etc. Extremely happy with the service and the final result!

Grand Design London did a full house renovation, along with rear extension in our property. The project took less than 6 months and it was brilliantly managed - budget wise especially. The team was very professional and all trades knew exactly what to do efficiently and timely. We were given a work program which included some "homework" for us - client supply items, such as new kitchen, bathroom sanitary ware and flooring and we were constantly advised on the best options on the market, making sure we get the best trade discounts through GDL. Really hassle-free and effortless, the services provided by GDL was excellent! We absolutely loved the final finish and are looking forward to working on more projects in the future with them!

We hired Grand Design London after having purchased a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom flat in Chelsea last year. As me and my husband have extremely busy schedules, we needed someone we could trust to give the key to our home. We made the right choice! The project was scheduled for 16 weeks, including full refurbishment, new windows, new wooden floor, new interior doors, 2 new bathrooms, new kitchen and bespoke fitted furniture. The initial outlined duration was kept to, as we were always kept informed timely on every single stage what our involvement should be in terms of choices and finishes. The team showcased incredible attention to detail, beautiful design, along with the very knowledgeable specialists from every trade. The service provided by Grand Design London was absolutely fabulous! We recommend GDL to every homeowner looking to get the best of both interior design and build!

Grand Design London completed general refurbishment and rear extension to our 3-storey Victorian property. The process was smooth, from the pre-planning stage all the way through to completion of the project. It was vital for us to have our home done in a timely fashion, as we were expecting our baby. Spectacular expertise, up to speed, professional and prepared, GDL managed to exceed our expectations! The creativity of our Project Manager, along with the friendly attitude and expertise, brought from the beginning to the end, made the journey extremely pleasant! We highly recommend GDL and their services!

We hired Grand Design London to renovate our Fulham property last year. The end result was outstanding! We set them the task to create more light and space which they achieved effortlessly. The architectural drawings, finest craftsmanship and overall professionalism delivered us a new rear extension, kitchen and underfloor heating. They fully re-wired and re-plumbed the property as well as providing us with new double-glazed windows and bi-folding doors. Our big refurbishment project was complete! Mariyan and his team were always on hand with prompt communication and updates. The professionalism that GDL exhibited from our initial meeting and throughout made this a truly great experience for myself and my family.

Our Victorian townhouse was in dire need of renovation. Fortunately, picking Grand Design London for the job was the right choice. They were highly recommended by a friend, and to be honest their professionalism and service are exemplary. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. And to the team - you are the best! Thank you!

They listened to our ideas and were able to problem solve whenever the situation would require some originality and creativity. The attention to detail was phenomenal! I would not at all hesitate to recommend this company to anyone in need of a high-class contractor.

We used GDL for a whole house renovation with extension and loft conversion and we are thrilled with our wonderful home. We found GDL through Houzz and not through a recommendation but found Mariyan honest and trustworthy from the beginning. The project was completed without any extra unexpected costs and pretty close to the original time scale. Mariyan worked with us throughout the project to make decisions about the design and to recommend suppliers. His advice was so useful in deciding where we could save money and where we should spend wisely. Throughout the project Mariyan has always been available to deal with snags and extras, and always responded to us immediately. The finished result is very high quality, is everything we wanted it to be and, we have no hesitation in recommending GDL highly.

Just completed refurbishing our home with Grand Design London. From the beginning of the project to the very end - the professionalism, expertise, organisation and just sheer amount of time they dedicated in communication was exceptional. Five stars cannot express how grateful we are and how much we would recommend them to anyone. We could not be happier with the choice we made having this company and their incredible staff make our dream home.

Their professionalism and experience are quite noteworthy — it’s evident that they’ve been in this business for a long time. The quality of their work is also exemplary.They were able to deliver everything they promised and all within our projects’ deadlines.Grand Design London showed us they were actually listening and giving us solutions and options, rather than pointing out problems and making excuses. They never said “no” to any of our ideas, instead, when something was less practical or not within our range, they presented us alternatives, rather than insist on increasing our budget.And as another plus - the team is genuinely friendly and warm, which made the whole process stress-free.All in all, our project was handled with exemplary care and attention.

GDL completed a full renovation of our house including an extension, loft conversion and garden design. The project was on time, on budget and of great quality. We found working with Mariyan and team a pleasure. GDL are a top class outfit and are always working hard to satisfy their clients requirements.

I find Grand Design to be well organised, good at communicating, and the sites are clean and prepared for when fitter arrives to install the floor. We have worked together on about 5 projects now, and look forward to doing more work in the future.

Working with Grand Design London has been an utmost pleasure. The whole company is very organised and customer oriented. Projects has always been delivered to the highest of standards and Mariyan has never failed to impress us with his attention to detail and customer skills. Highly recommended for any design and build or refurbishments projects.

I couldn't recommend this company highly enough. In a world where workmen so often fail to turn up and where budgets always overrun, Ryan's team are a breath of fresh air. They work hard, always turn up on time and work long hours,, deliver first rate workmanship and stick to budget and to timings - what more could one want? GDL are responsive, competent, affordable and results oriented. We are delighted with our new kitchen extension which has exceeded our expectations.

I am an architectural designer from South London and have been working with Grand Design London for a few years now. Any job they have been involved with have received a great feedback from the client about the quality of work. They are reliable, professional and very efficient. The quick time response is a quality that all clients need but not every builder is able to provide. Grand Design London always take on a project with no hesitation and find ways to complete within the scheduled time. They have a broad experience and can provide input in all aspects of a project which I have benefited as a designer many times. I highly recommend their services.

I saw their work on a colleague’s house, and I fell in love. I knew right away that these are the people I was looking for. I had a fairly small amount of work done at first - just one bathroom, but a bathroom I liked better than the rest of the house. Thus, it was only natural to have them continue renovating the entire place. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

I would highly recommend GDL as a very experienced, knowledgeable builder with all employees having impeccable attitude towards everything they do. They work extremely well with other trades and always work towards a solution to any problem with great professionalism.

We recently had a loft conversion completed by Grand Design London. We invited a few other companies to quote for the job but with Grand Design London we felt that we were in extremely safe hands. We have done a lot of research ourselves. The communication between us and the company was fantastic, we wanted and were involved in the whole process. We had a very good guidance through the planning stage, exploring different possibilities in design and getting inspiration and ideas beforehand, to the first class input and execution of Grand Design London’s team. The team had a lot of experience because they were able to come up with some creative ideas for the compromised space we had and were very competitive with their quote. We have small children and the workers were very respectful and considerate. The builders were clean, tidy, efficient and all works were completed within the time originally stated and of an excellent quality with attention to the detail. We felt that the end results and clients' interests and needs were more important than what was easier/ quicker to do. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and we love our new space! For all these reasons we highly recommend them.

We did an entire house renovation with Mariyan and all the wonderful guys who work with Grand Design London. Everyone was very knowledgeable and worked really well as a team. We can not be happier that we choose Grand Design London to execute this project and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Mariyan and his professional team were extremely hardworking. They built up an extension and renovated my house in Kingston. They have very high standards and our extension, kitchen, three bedrooms were completed on budget and to very high quality and finish. The Grand Design London builders were friendly and reliable. We would not hesitate to recommend them, and will use them again for any future projects.

Great overall experience. Responsive, professional, gives you detail and sticks to plans. I had a whole house renovationnd Mariyan was able to deliver all aspects, bathrooms, plastering, decorating, electrical. My plans expanded over the period of work and these were quickly incorporated into the project. I was always aware of cost and this was stuck to. Work team was prompt and hard working. Very polite and helpful. Highly recommended. I will use him again.

Ryan did an excellent job at our place. We refurbished 2 toilets and had the whole flat repainted. The quality of the finishing is very high down to the last detail. The job was done within the set time frame and he was always happy to accommodate any revision or change on a short notice.

Master of Builders carried out a complete renovation of my Edwardian house, including a loft conversion and a side return extension. The work was completed on time, on budget and without fuss. I made several changes to my original building plan, and the extra costs were very reasonable. The level of service and attention to detail was first class; I would use Mariyan and his team again. Scott

Ryan and his team helped us decorate our 5 bedroom house and fully fit our 4 bathrooms. We were very tight on timings and Ryan delivered what he promised us at the beginning of our agreement. Ryan is extremely professional, he has an excellent team, he follows the work through and above his services are well priced in comparison to the market. Our relationship with Ryan is on going, we still call him for advise and ask him to perform tasks for us. I would highly recommend him.

Ryan oversaw 2 fittings for me: 1 ensuite wetroom and 1 bathroom. Both were a complete refurb including tiles and flooring and fitting of new appliances. Ryan provided an invaluable resource for ideas and problem solving in the planning phase and oversaw the projects through to completion diligently. He was always very easy to contact and was polite. Both projects overran somewhat (partly my fault) but the end result was faultless and exactly on budget. I'd highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use again.

We used Ryan's decorators to rennovate our bathroom which included turning two rooms into one and fitting a new suite. Ryan's decorators managed the complete job from start to finish and did everything including the final decorating. They did everything they said they would do and did it very well (and quickly).

Ryan's Decorators have done an excellent job with the renovation. They were polite, punctual and finished ahead of schedule. We highly recommend this company.

After considering 4 other contractors we selected Ryan's Decorators on the basis of previous projects, references and their clear understanding of the project. Do not be fooled by the company name - they do far more than just decorating! In summary Ryan's Decorators offer and deliver a first class service at a very competitive price. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
