From the first visit to the final finish, they were genuinely lovely to deal with: friendly, tidy, and always happy to explain what was happening and why. We changed our minds more than once along the way, and they took our indecisiveness completely in their stride. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they helped us land on choices we're really pleased with. We're already planning an extension next, and Excellence Living will be our first call. If you're considering a loft conversion in the Burnham-on-Sea area, we'd recommend them without hesitation.Posted on Google Ami MaberleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we found out we were expecting another child, we knew we needed more space. We initially looked at moving, but couldn't find anywhere that offered everything we already loved about our current home. Living in a quiet estate close to family, with our daughter able to stay at the same school, made improving rather than moving the obvious choice. We first considered converting the garage, but the team at Excellence Living explained how much more we could gain from a loft conversion while keeping our outdoor space, which was important to us both now and for future resale value. We spoke to a few companies, but Excellence Living stood out because of their knowledge, honesty, and willingness to answer all of our questions without any pressure. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Sel and Scott were professional, friendly, and always happy to talk through anything with us while we lived through the build. The finished loft looks like it has always been part of the house, transforming our three-bedroom home into a thoughtfully designed four-bedroom family home. We couldn't be happier with the result and wouldn't hesitate to use Excellence Living again or recommend them to others.Posted on Google James CopeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ground Floor Reconfiguration- Paulton We LOVE our new house, it genuinely feels like it is a new place to live. It’s often difficult to have strangers into your safe space. However, as soon as Paul (Sel) got going, we realised how professional an operation it was and how lovely Sal (and Scott) were. Every single day, we would message each other saying 'I can't wait to get home and see what they have gotten up to today'. Sel was unflappable, my stupid questions weren't treated as such. What a great guy. The little things add up. They were on time every day or explained why they were going to be late. Their vans were clean and tidy, the build area was hoovered and mopped before they left. Despite significant structural work being carried out, our whole family (and there are a few of us) were able to live as normal (or close to it). Reach out, they won’t disappoint.Posted on Google MaxineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We thoroughly recommend Excellence Living for the recent renovations to our home. From the beginning the process was easy, everyone approachable and friendly. The Team always arrived when they said they would, communication was excellent and the renovation was transformational. The journey had some twists and turns which is inevitable with the age of our property, for each twist and turn options were provided which made decision making easier. We met with the Team on the ground weekly for a progress report and to discuss forthcoming activity. Quality of work and attention to detail was excellent. Thank you to Paul, Chris and the wider Excellence Living Team for a job well done.Posted on Google Tim HaydenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our initial meeting with Paul provided a good guide for what was to come. A team who genuinely wanted to ensure we got exactly what we wanted as opposed to taking the quickest and easiest build decision. We were very impressed with the amount of free time that Paul gave us even before we committed to working together. Throughout the build we were consulted with the various design/material options both costed (so no hidden costs) and explained so we could choose what we wanted. As things progressed, we often asked Paul for his own suggestion to overcome the inevitable issues which come to light in the reality of turning the architects drawings to the real life build situation. This is the level of trust we had in Paul (and his team) and often a lot of time was generously given by them to help overcome obstacles that often weren’t directly related to their own scope of works. The attention to detail was excellent throughout and it is a shame that not every building team cares so much about the final outcome. Our build (loft conversion and side extension) was complicated by a number of external factors and it is in those difficult and stressful times that you need the full support of the building team and we certainly appreciated all the work that both Nadine and Paul did for us both personally and on the build. We can’t stress enough how important it is to have a building team who genuinely care for you as both people (as a building project is time consuming) as well as the actual build itself. Building contractors often get unfairly labelled and we believe the Excellence Team are proof that with good communication and an open and honest approach where both sides work together, great things can be built. We received any number of positive comments on how the team were always polite, respectful, and aware of keeping the disruption and noise around the build to a minimum. This in itself is often not considered before deciding on which builder to choose but in our view is so important. We would strongly recommend the Excellence Team. We are so pleased with what they have helped us create and given some of the challenges with our own quite difficult build, we are so glad we chose them. A team with lots of experience and knowledge who work in a professional yet personable way. Thanks to you all.Posted on Google Anne TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot thank Excellence Living enough—not just for the life-changing space they’ve created for us, turning our house into a true home, but also for making the entire extension experience genuinely enjoyable. We were introduced to Nadine and Paul through a mutual friend, and from the beginning, they stood out as genuinely wonderful people. For years, we debated whether to love or list our property. While we knew it had potential to be bigger, two things held us back: we couldn’t visualise how it would flow, and past experiences with tradespeople had left us hesitant to take the plunge. After seeing the stunning transformations and glowing reviews Excellence Living had received, we reached out to see what might be possible. From the first meeting, they were incredible. The entire process—from initial design to completion—was impeccable. They helped us truly visualise the potential of our space, and their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality were second to none. Every member of the team was punctual, tidy, friendly, and hardworking. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless. It’s rare to find a company that not only meets expectations but far exceeds them. Thank you for giving us our dream space—our forever home. We’ll always be grateful and will recommend you 100%, without hesitation. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Consultation Phase: I reached out to excellence living after a family friend had recommenced them to me. I had an initial consultation with Paul who was fantastic at helping me form a plan of the total scope of work required. Paul's wealth of knowledge was really helpful when deciding what areas of work needed doing for the budget I had in mind. Upon talking to Paul he gave me confidence that his team could deliver my scope of work to a very high level of quality without compromising on cost or time. Build Phase: Once the scope of work had been agreed, Paul and his team started work on my property. It became very apparent to me how efficient these guys were. Within the first week they had already ripped out the bathroom and the kitchen!! Paul was extremely helpful as he would very regularly communicate with me any updates that had taken place and answer any questions/concerns I had. Project Tracker: The team were quick and great at remedying any variations that had occurred and it was great to track these in the tracker that Nadine had provided for me. This gave me the opportunity to track my total spend for the project. Managing 3rd party contractors: Excellence living managing all the external contractors was a weight lifted off my shoulders!! They relayed all the information I had previously said in the consultation phase to the electrician plumber etc. This meant it was all managed under one roof. The contractors were very good at keeping an open line of communication with both myself and excellence living. This allowed me to keep making any last minute changes very easily. The Excellence living team did a fantastic job on renovating my property. They have turned what was a dated property into a modern looking flat. I want to extend my gratitude to the whole team who helped on this project.Posted on Google Jack SamuelsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience working with Excellence Living on my renovations project from start to finish. The team was professional, communicative, and finished everything to a very high standard. This involved a complete home renovation, including a new kitchen, two new bathrooms, optimising space layouts and a balcony refurbishment). Everything ran smoothly, and the end result exceeded my expectations. I would recommend the team unreservedly and I plan to re-engage with them on future projects!Posted on Google Lewis GriffinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 Stars – Fantastic Experience with Excellence Living! I recently had my integral garage converted into a home office and downstairs toilet by Excellence Living, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. Paul, was great to deal with – friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer questions. He made sure everything ran smoothly and kept me updated throughout the project. A special shoutout to the build team, Chris and Cam, who were absolutely brilliant. They were punctual, tidy, and clearly take great pride in their work. Their attention to detail was second to none, and they managed to create a space that looks fantastic and functions perfectly. The office is exactly what I needed – bright, modern, and comfortable – and the downstairs toilet has been such a practical addition. I’ve had loads of compliments on the transformation already, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Excellence Living to anyone considering a similar project. Great team, great results – thank you again!Posted on Google Giles MarshallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Excellence Living to convert the loft in our cottage into a stylish bedroom and bathroom, and we are incredibly happy with the outcome. They provided a professional, seamless experience from start to finish. The transformation of our loft into a wonderful bedroom and bathroom is exactly what we envisioned. The finishes are top-quality, and the design maximizes the space beautifully. Everything was done to a very high standard, and the attention to detail is impressive. What really stood out to us was their communication and organization. Excellence Living were excellent at keeping us updated throughout the entire process. They were clear about timelines, costs, and any changes along the way, and always made sure we were kept in the loop. As with any build, we uncovered problems along the way. Excellence Living were incredibly adaptable, handling any issues that arose with ease. They were also accommodating to design changes and approached every obstacle with a positive, “can-do” attitude. They were quick to propose practical solutions, ensuring the project stayed on track without compromising on quality. We both have busy lives and were drawn to Excellence Living as they provided a fully managed project. Everything was managed efficiently, with all the logistics of the materials, trades, designs and certifications expertly co-ordinated; we didn’t have to worry about anything slipping through the cracks because they had it all covered. They were respectful of our home, keeping the disruption to an absolute minimum. We are absolutely thrilled with the result! The loft has been transformed into a stunning and functional space, and Excellence Living made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a builder who is organized, adaptable, and a great communicator, we highly recommend Excellence Living. They exceeded our expectations in every way!
