Sebastian and the Skyworkers team are phenomenal. Once we’d made the decision to have a loft conversion we suffered visits from 3 separate loft conversion companies and 2 other independent contractors before we appointed Seb.
His knowledge and skill was apparent the very first day we met him and he far exceeded our expectations from the offset. Seb’s catch phrase of “anything is possible” was certainly true in our case. We greatly appreciated his wealth of experience in the trade to deliver a bespoke solution that we are extremely happy with. The whole team are true gentlemen. All the guys are skilled professionals that take pride in their work. They work incredibly hard to an exceptionally high standard.
We were so happy with Skyworkers that we asked Seb to stay on after the loft was finished to rewire, re-plumb, re-plaster and re-floor the rest of the house and renovate the existing family bathroom. Considering all the works had to be completed with a family of 4 in-situ, the guys were incredibly patient, kind, caring and thoughtful. They were exceptionally clean and tidy and our happiness was always their main concern.
Given the extent of the works, Skyworkers were with us for a while, and I have to say we all missed them when they left. Seb and his team were recommended to me through a work colleague and I would not hesitate to indorse their work or have them back to carry out any future projects. It was an absolute pleasure to have them here and they have certainly improved our living space beyond our original expectations.
These are the guys to use if you want a ‘decent’, genuine contractor who can support you through your project and offer (often money-saving) sound advice alongside a first class service. Thanks Seb! (Until the next time…….)

We used Skyworkers for a side return extension and reconfiguration of our downstairs kitchen and living spaces. We cannot rate Seb and his team highly enough. They started on time, stayed on budget and remained on schedule throughout the entire build.
The attention to detail was outstanding. Seb is a perfectionist and it shows in the overall finish in the work. The team work incredibly hard and Seb offers really helpful advice on design, materials and finishings throughout the whole process.
We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Skyworkers to anyone thinking of having work done to their home.

This is the second time we have used Seb and his team and once again we are thrilled with the result. The standard of his work is excellent and we would not hesitate in recommending Skyworkers to anyone thinking about having building works.
Tom Dymond | 2017-01-22 |
We recently used Skyworkers for a single story kitchen extension and couldn't have been happier. Seb and his team started when promised, kept to schedule and budget and gave us a lot of great ideas along the way.
The team work incredibly hard, are tidy and considerate to the disruption in your home and neighbours along the way. They work incredibly hard and to an exceptionally high standard. I would very highly recommend Seb and his team for a totally stress free building experience.

We really recommend Skyworkers!
They carried out a loft conversion and 5m rear extension for us and we are delighted with the results.
Seb has always been kind, professional and extremely helpful. From the first day he came round to the last day of the building work Seb was always able to listen to exactly what we wanted, while at the same time making sensible recommendations to help us get the most out of our new house. His team are polite, very hardworking and they work quickly.
Seb also built fitted wardrobes for us in the loft.
The work looks amazing and our house has been completely transformed. Seb has even organised to come back in 3 months time to touch up any small cracks that might appear while everything settles.
Frances and Tom Dymond | 2015-04-28 |
We hired Seb to do our kitchen extension based on testimonials here and a chat with one of his previous clients.
The quote was competitive and the contract clear. Sebastian and his team were very hard workers and got the job done to a high standard, on budget and actually under the originally estimated time.
The whole team were really helpful, polite and always cleaned up after themselves as they went which meant living in the house
at the time of building work was not as hard as I had anticipated!
The knowledge, attention to detail and skill of Seb and his team mean I highly recommend them
(and have been doing so to friends and family).
Sarah Bundred | 2014-10-27 |
We hired Sebastian for our loft conversion based on the recommendation of a friend. From the outset we were delighted with our decision. His quote was clear, detailed and extremely competitive, and he provided us with very helpful suggestions about where to source our fittings, making budget management very easy for us.
It was a pleasure to have his team working in the house. They are hard-working, efficient, respectful and very clean.
Mess and disruption was kept to an absolute minimum (being 8 months pregnant at the time the build started, and having a toddler in the house, I was very grateful for this).
The quality of their work is extremely high, and the finish is superb. In addition to the basic build, they built some wonderful fitted cupboards (for a very reasonable price) and really helped us to maximise the space available to us in the roof.
We are absolutely delighted with the end result.
I would recommend Sebastian and his team without hesitation.
Joanne Austin-Olsen | 2014-02-06 |
From the testimonials on his web site and having talked with one of his previous clients, we hired Seb and his team to do extensive renovation works.
They built a brick summer house with electrics and decking at the bottom of the garden, decking to the rear of the house, a new boiler and fuse box was fitted, the kitchen was gutted and totally refitted and decorated, the dinning room was decorated and bespoke cupboards were built from floor to ceiling along one wall, shelving in two bedrooms, new hard wood flooring was fitted through out the whole ground floor, removal of lead water pipe and new pipe fitted to the mains and a new block driveway.
They were very accommodating efficient and respectful; the work was completed to a high standard and within the scheduled time. Seb was very good with coming up with ideas and solutions with costs in mind. They were happy to come back after a couple of weeks to resolve a minor issue with the drive.
Over all we were extremely satisfied with their work and their work attitude and would highly recommend them.
Bella and Dom Kearney | 2013-06-18 |
Sebastian and his men are outstanding. They are exceptionally hard working, their work is consistently of a very high standard, and they are extremely competitive on price. They are the best builders I have ever come across and I have no hesitation in recommending them. Our project was a complete renovation of a Victorian property, including new loft conversion and ground floor extension, interior remodelling, complete re-plumbing and re-wiring, and several bathrooms.
Patel Patrick | 2013-04-10 |
Sebastian fitted our kitchen, put down our wooded floor and built our fitted cupboards. He and his team did an excellent.
Matt & Ella White | 2012-11-21 |
Seb his team have been super efficient and have completed all electrical and plumbing works to a very high standard - thank you. He always sticks to promises regarding time and fees charged which is what we all want in anything we look for. Please feel free to email me and you can have a look at the site where he has worked.
William Moolman | 2012-10-22 |
Based on recommendations through Rated People and the testimonials on this website, I asked Seb to provide a quote to build a loft extension. Despite the space being relatively small Seb provided a number of different options which clearly demonstrated his knowledge and experience. This confidence in Seb's ability continued throughout the build and ultimately delivered a quality finish to a new bedroom in the loft, which came in on budget and on time.
Seb made a number of recommendations, such as lighting, colour schemes and the use of glass to further enhance the loft extension. Nothing was too much, Seb even built the new staircase himself and fitted new glass to the kitchen roof during the main build project. I'm very pleased with the finished loft conversion and other building work completed by Seb and his team.
Seb is rightly proud of his work and I have no hesitation recommending Skyworkers. Certainly, Seb is the first person I will be calling when I come to extending the kitchen.
Becky Jobling | 2012-06-28 |
Based upon a recommendation of one of the above testimonials, we engaged Skyworkers for a complete bathroom renovation (literally everything from scratch - plastering, electrical wiring, plumbing, underfloor heating system, tiling, built in cupboards, new window, etc). Seb and his team worked tirelessly to complete our bathroom and the finish is of the highest quality.
We love it! In the planning and duration of the renovation, Seb has offered good design ideas and solutions, and is always open to slight design changes. Nothing phases him! We believe Skyworkers are competitively priced and based upon the quality of their work, we intend to employ them again for future projects.
Jane and Phil Powell | 2012-06-04 |
Seb and his team plastered my house quickly and efficiently to a high standard. I am planning to use the team again and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Rhodes Bernie | 2012-05-20 |
Seb and his team have just completed putting in a kitchen, a new central heating boiler and various items in a bathroom. All jobs were completed to a very high standard and nothing was too difficult for the team. Their quote was extremely reasonable, considering I had four quotes and small extras were charged at a very good rate. I cannot recommend Seb and the team highly enough and I would only be too happy to be contacted at [], if any one needs further information. Thanks once again Seb and team and will be using Skyworkers for any work I need done in the future.
Anne Azim | 2012-04-19 |
I hired Sebastian to break two load bearing walls, create a new bathroom upstairs, electric rewiring, lay laminate, and replaster and decorate the whole house. His team did a great job. I was so impressed by his project management that I also let him fit a new kitchen for me.
Thanks to his management, I didn't have to take days off from work and he took care of building control himself which helped me get the completion certificate without getting involved in lengthy council communications.
Talha Ahmad | 2012-03-18 |
We had Seb and his team quote us for an extension to our house, from the start he was punctual and professional and clearly knowledgable in his trade.
His team were quick to start work and worked non stop throughout some very long days, they were polite and pleasant throughout. Seb was very approachable throughout and as our plans changed slightly throughout nothing was a problem for him, they overcame numerous problems that were encountered during the build, which was completed ahead of schedule and on budget.
We are very proud of our extension which has been finished to the highest standards, Seb and his team have completed all the works from digging the footings, to electrics, plumbing through to decorating, they have also installed a fabulous galass section of roof which makes the build stand out (Which can be seen on the company website).
I would have no hesitation in recommending him, and already have done to several friends.
Mark Bamber | 2012-03-05 |
We initially asked Seb from Skyworkers to quote on re-skimming the plaster on our newly purchased 1930s, 3 bedroom semi. The house has one owner for 70 odd years and had not had any major works done to it. Seb said that he could do anything we asked him to do so we offered him the job with the promise of more based on the quality of the plastering. His guys were quick, and completed the work to a pretty good standard.
We had to move into the property quickly and this combined with a serious case of "mission creep", they had renovated the whole house in 8 weeks. When complete, they had done the following: removed / replaced walls, widened a doorway for double French doors, installed under floor heating in two rooms, installed a new Kitchen, installed a new bathroom, installed a new front door, prepared the chimney for a new wood burning stove, installed granite slab for hearth and surrounding black glass for the same stove, electrical wiring for the kitchen and bathroom, insulation between the floors, source good quality fittings at a great price, do the shopping for these.
The list is long and Seb held true to his statement - he "can do anything". He also has some good design ideas and able to make recommendations. I have not dealt with builders before this, however, from asking around, working with them was relatively painless and decent in comparison. Seb is the driving force behind Skyworkers and I will say that he is honest, results oriented and takes pride in his work. We have a further kitchen and double extenstion to complete in the coming years and will consider using Skyworkers again.
Ultimately the work is good value for money and we are happy with the end result. Thank you Seb.
G Bredow | 2012-02-06 |
Sebastian and his team at Skyworkers were fantastic. They completed the job ahead of time and on budget. We were very pleased with their hard work and general helpfulness. The team were very pleasant, polite and tidy. The plaster job that they did was of very high quality and Sebastian explained how to achieve an excellent finish when painting.
We had an overall very good experience and plan to use Skyworkers again very soon. Highly recommended.
David Hudson | 2011-12-02 |
Sebastian and his colleague re-plastered our hallway landing and stairs over 2 days. The work was completed to the highest standard and was some of the best plastering we have had done in the house. We were so pleased with the quaility we asked skyworkers to go on to decorate this area. Again the finish was excellent. Sebastian and his colleague were professional, relaible and I have reccommended skyworkers to family and friends.
Marie-Anne Brown | 2011-09-15 |
Sebastian and his team have just finished our loft conversion and have done an excellent job. We are so pleased with his work. He and his team were very reliable, and completed the work in record time. They handled all aspects of the job from start to finish, including electrics, carpentry, plastering, fitting doors and general liaison with our council.
They worked long hours to ensure they met the times agreed at the beginning, and kept in regular contact with us while we were away to ensure we were happy with the work. We were sorry to see him go, and have kept his details for any other building work we may have in the future. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone and are willing to provide verbal references should anyone want to chat to us.
Thank you so much Sebastian.
Kate Roberts | 2011-08-31 |
Sebasian is a great craftsman. He completely transformed my kitchen including plumbing and electrics. Realiable and fast worker ensuring a good finish to his work. Was so pleased with his skills I will be asking him to do some further work installing fitted wardrobes.
N Proctor | 2011-08-12 |
Sebastian did a fantastic job and completed the refurbishment of the kitchen within 2 weeks including all aspects - plumbing, tiling, plastering etc. He is an expert in variety of skills in the trade and possess all necessary tools to give a quality finish. Would recommend him without any reservations.
M Sethi | 2011-07-16 |
Sebastian worked for me for about 4 months on a block of flats that Opal was building in South Croydon. I was sorry to see him go, as he could complete any aspect of carpentry that I was after, from structural timber, to fitting doors or stairs.
Dawid Waldron | 2011-05-19 |
Thank you for the excellent loft conversion.We are delighted by the way everything was organised and the standard of workmanship.He comes highly recommended and I am happy to provide a verbal reference.
