Testimonials

"... Even though we were in different cities and we completed the whole process by email, Simon and the team at Craftbuilt Industries made it totally stress free for us. They sent quotes and samples to us promptly and after we made the final decision on design, the beautiful fretwork and trims duly arrived right on schedule. We highly recommend Craftbuilt Industries and will not hesitate to use them again if we ever build another villa”.

“We used Craftbuilt to help us build a fire surround for our new gas fire. We were looking for something that would be in-keeping with our heritage home but would also work with our modern extension. They had a great range of products to suit our needs and we’re very happy to customise these to meet our needs. Throughout the process I found Simon easy to contact and discuss any concerns or queries we had. He assisted our builder to ensure that what we were doing worked with the new fire surrounds. His advice and expertise was much appreciated by both my builder and myself. We were thrilled with the finished product and just can’t fault the amazing job Craftbuild have done.
Highly recommend them!”

“The team at Craftbuilt are awesome to work with. After growing up in villas, we were keen to add some detail to our new build. We engaged with Simon to look at adding some simple fretwork to our home. Great communication, and a few emails back and forth to nail the design and sizing, made the process super easy. We are stoked with the final product, and pleased with how it completes our home. We would highly recommend Simon and his team.”
