St Faith’s Church

“We were delighted to be able to appoint T Coleborn & Sons Ltd for this largescale project. They are a local company with extensive experience of refurbishment projects and specifically in healthcare and education. They have already undertaken building projects for the Hospice successfully and therefore we are confident in their workmanship and more importantly we know that they understand the needs of our patients and relatives.”

“The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust have built up a strong relationship with T Coleborn & Son Ltd over many years. They have worked on a number of projects as main contractor and subcontractor for smaller packages of work on many of the historic listed buildings throughout our estate. Always providing excellent value for money and it is fair to say that the quality of work delivered is also of a very high standard.

“We have used T Coleborn & Son Ltd for two very large remodelling projects in sheltered Housing blocks of flats. They have been professional and flexible and have been able to plan the works around the tenants who have remained living in the buildings whilst the work has taken place. They communicate anything we need to know so we have been able to make decisions and inform our tenants of any changes. The Foreman for both projects has been the same person and he gets to know our tenants and is always polite and helpful. This has been especially important during the current remodel that has spanned the whole of the COVID 19 pandemic. They have managed to carry on working for most of the time and have adapted their working pattern and routine to fit with getting the project moving after lock down and to continue almost on schedule. We are very pleased with the choice we made in using Coleborn.”

‘I have worked with the Coleborn’s team for approaching 17 years, with a number of our clients remaining mutual for the entire duration of that period. A reasonable proportion of the projects we have undertaken together relate to historic buildings including churches and private homes, although the portfolio also includes buildings used by the community and indeed the Rowans Hospice in Purbrook. Their ‘can do’ attitude as well as the conduct of their directly employed site team is much valued, with their carpentry skills being particularly prominent during both new build and refurbishment work. The duration of Coleborn’s operation in the area is often referred to, but I too hope to maintain a working relationship with them for many years to come.’

Luke and the team started our project on time and kept to the schedule! Very tidy and everything finished to a top standard. Look no further If you’re after a good, reliable building company.

We value our working with T Coleborn and Son Ltd. They have been for many years our main contractor in the maintenance and repair of the 3 Churches in the Parish - ranging from the historic St Mary’s to the modern St Faith’s. They are always prompt to respond and provide a quality of care and service that we are confident in.
