All about ALCO Properties

It was previously a common experience whilst working for others that we were frequently frustrated; either with time constraints preventing us from doing the job properly or by having our good work spoiled by someone less conscientious.

Stemming from this background we were prompted to create our business and to only work with similar-minded contractors avoiding any compromise of future quality. By working in this way, efficiently and effectively, we are able to offer the highest quality finish at competitive rates and our team takes great pride in the results they achieve.

This philosophy and continuously satisfied customer base mean we have won and been nominated for numerous awards and have now for over 10 years been Trading Standards approved.

    What our customers say about us

    Tom (ALCO) provided many detailed quotes (and showed a lot of patience as the project changed as it went along) and delivered a good service and finish – particularly pleasing as most of the work was done without me being around. Any issues we did have were remedied quickly and Tom showed commitment to providing customer satisfaction.

    Jane Muggeridge

    ALCO, under the guidance and leadership of Tom Allen, did a superb job in the renovation of my son and daughter’s house in Guildford. Everything was completed on time, to the required standard and within budget. Tom’s project management skills are excellent and he has a fine team of tradesmen supporting him. We were consulted at all stages of the project on progress and there were no surprises. A great team performance and I would highly recommend ALCO to anyone about to undertake a building project, large or small.

    George Wilson

    ALCO have now done a few jobs for us ranging in size and price. Each time we find then to be reasonably priced, good communicators and a good standard of finish. Have recommended to a number of people who have all been positive.

    The workman who did the job was so polite and courteous and never assumed anything, he always asked before doing anything.

    Tom and his team are excellent to work with - great fun, kind, careful, and willing to go the extra mile to make things right. They understood the vision for our unique project and added their own ideas to make it special. They gave a clear quote that they stuck to. The few extras that did arise were agreed in a fair and open way. The team worked around any challenges quickly and provided innovative solutions. I felt I had their full attention and no problem was too tricky. The smart technology they installed along with air-source heat pump and AC has given an extra dimension. The quality of the final build was great, both inside features and the stonework outside. I enjoyed working with Tom and would highly recommend Alco.

    A difficult job working between 2 flats but the men were very considerate and lined up each trade as the jobs progressed. This was the second major work ALCO had done for us, and I would use them again.

    Choosing Alco to work on a recent refurbishment was one of the best decisions we made for quite some time. Although I’m a keen DIYer I knew that knocking new doorways in load-bearing walls needed professional expertise. Alco certainly have that & the other work, a new partition wall & replacement coving to match the original Victorian coving was excellent. The men were highly professional & a pleasure to work with. We have other refurbishment projects in the pipeline & wouldn’t dream of using any other builders.

    We undertook a very extensive, root-and-branch development of house in 2017 for which Tom and his team took on and managed from beginning to end. In around 14 weeks they completely stripped back and rebuilt our home from top to bottom including completely replacing all plumbing and wiring, knocking through structural wall (involving the lagest RSJ i've ever seen), tanking one area of the house, a new dormer, removing and replacing the staircase in a new configuration, building a garage, re-configuring every floor, up to all the decorative work. Across this time we had almost no friction at all with Tom or his team (which is amazing given the scope and significance of this project to us) and Tom was a thoughtful guide who not only delivered the work excellently but also pro-actively encouraged us to consider elements to optimise the build to the point that, 4 years later, we wouldn't change a thing about the way we did it. Tom and the Alco team have many great qualities but the 2 that stand out most to us is the energy with which they attacked the build - we often had 7 or 8 different trades on site working to complete the work on schedule, and Tom's wonderful attention to detail which ensured the highest level of finish (on one occasions i found Tom himself changing the screws in a set of door hinges so they all matched - something i would never have even noticed). Alco are an extremely safe pair of hands for any project - I can't recommend them highly enough

    Couldn’t recommend ALCO more highly, helped me and my wife to extend and create our home in Witley sticking to our budget and to a high quality finish. Tom and his staff are hard workers, friendly and never once phased bye any issues or alterations to our build during or after completion. Have since recommended ALCO to friends and family after our good experience of working with them and will continue to do so in the future too, thank you Tom and all the staff at ALCO.

    ALCO did a fantastic and most professional job on our project from start to finish. It was a complex build with lots of unknowns owing to the age of the property, but the team were creative and proactive throughout. We really felt like we got to know everyone well, and that's because Tom and his team are so personable and take such pride in their work. Highly recommend!
