What our wonderful clients have to say…


  • Faye & Gary

    Dealing with Corcoran’s was a pleasure from start to finish. Professional in all interactions with management and staff. Creative with ideas and finding solutions when challenges arise. Clear communication around costs and any changes. The finished result was better than we hoped. We continue to use Corcoran’s and we recommend them, without reservation, to our friends and family.

  • Andy

    I think Gerry is great. Only good things to say. Easy to recommend both the quality and progress of his work. A lovely guy, refreshingly straightforward to deal with.

    He did structural alterations to our home. Results were perfect. We have already recommended him to friends who have gone on to use Gerry for their own projects.

  • Neil & Julie

    Corcoran Builder have carried out 2 major refurbishment projects on our house. The work has been carried on time and within budget. Gerry is very responsive and a good problem solver. We are delighted with the work they have carried and intend to use them on future projects.

  • Chris & Gemma

    The team from Corcoran did an excellent job creating a new paved driveway, reclaimed brick gate piers and arranging installation of an electric gate. Their team were professional throughout the project and would happily recommend them to anyone considering work on their home.

  • Beville & Louise

    Our knowledge of the building trade is absolutely minimal so we had to trust someone who would fulfil our dreams.

    Gerry Corcoran proved to be 100% trustworthy and reliable. As we now live in our little Shangri-La you just don’t know how grateful we are for what he did for us. I can’t recommend Gerry enough to any person who is in the position we were.”

  • Emma & Gavin

    Corcoran Builders were reliable, kept us up to date with the work as it was progressing and ensured a high standard of work. Gerry has a strong team of trusted and very capable tradesmen – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Wendy & Scott

“Corcoran Builders were recommend to us by an architect who did the drawings for our extension. He had used them for work on his own home. The team were very professional, worked to a high standard and delivered the project on time. We subsequently recommended the company to others in the local area and Corcoran carried out full house refurbishments, lofts and extensions. Highly recommended.”

  • Anna

    We used Corcoran Builders to completely renovate and extend a 1950s detached property we had bought, doubling the footprint and turning it into a substantial family home. Having already used Gerry and his team for a smaller project in the past, we felt confident they could help us complete a much larger scale build and we were not disappointed.

    Gerry and the incredible team that support him, are experts at what they do. They helped us complete a complex project on time and on budget. Over the course of a year long build they listened to our requirements, helped guide us through the decisions we made and delivered a beautiful home. I cannot recommend Corcoran Builders highly enough.

  • Kirsten & Paul

    Corcoran Builders came highly recommended to us and we used them in 2021 for a sizeable single storey open-plan extension and reconfiguration of our kitchen and dining room, the results of which we are delighted with! The overall project was well organised and managed by Gerry, the contractors involved were hard-working, skilled and efficient, and the whole process went as smoothly as could be expected. We felt we were in safe, experienced hands every step along the way and that any queries or minor hiccups were handled in a professional yet friendly manner. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Corcoran Builders and we have, in fact, just engaged them on our next project (a new porch). As well as being excited about this build coming to life, we also feel at ease knowing what to expect from the process and are also looking forward to seeing some familiar faces along the way for all the various elements of the job!

  • Angela & Pat

    Gerry carried out an extensive refurbishment of our house. The house was rewired, new hot water system installed, layout changes including moving the stairs and rebuild of a dormer conversion into a full store extension. We were really impressed by Gerry and his team.

    The work started and finished on time even though the house gave us a few surprises along the way. Gerry was easy to work with and great at finding ways to deliver any bespoke items that we wanted e.g. new solid oak mantel to match existing beams, monkey tail banister. The finish was excellent, and all our visitors have been impressed. We would happily recommend Corcoran’s builders to anyone looking to have work done.

  • Nick & Nicola

    Gerry and Corcoran Builders have done a number of Construction Projects, large and small, for us over the past six years.

    The work is always completed to a very high standard and Gerry and his team are very professional, efficient and resourceful. They adhere to dates and projects are finished on time and to budget. We have been happy with all the work this Company has completed for us to date.

    We would highly recommend Corcoran Builder’s. Our next project with them will be the installation of a Fired Earth Bathroom.

  • Andy & Coleen

    Gerry and his team refurbished our home, including double storey extension and loft conversion over a 12 month period. Across the whole team, they were always professional, courteous and tidy as well being very experienced with a can do attitude.

    Gerry project managed and was very easy and straightforward to get on with, managing expectations throughout. Highly recommend him and his team.

  • Ursula & David

    We would highly recommend Corcoran Builders to work on any building project. Gerry and his team did an amazing job on our house. We did a complete house renovation including a loft conversion, basement office, kitchen/diner, bathrooms, doors, windows, ceilings, roof, gutters, under-floor heating.

    We loved working with Gerry and his team. Their work was top-quality and at the end of the project we had no snagging issues. In addition, the team were so easy to deal with, ably led by Gerry who managed the project with honesty, calmness and good humour. We would not hesitate to use Corcoran Builders again.

  • Charlotte & Mark

    We’re very happy with the building work Corcoran carried out for us - the work was done in the agreed time frame and we were really pleased with the finished job. They were a great team of guys to have on site - polite, tidy and trustworthy. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Gerry and the team again.

  • John & Penny

    We have been using Corcoran Builders for many years. When we've needed work doing, Gerry and his team have been available, flexible and proactive. Working with us to get what we need within our budget. The whole team are incredibly friendly, you really couldn’t wish for a nicer bunch to be working in your house!

  • Tamara & Ian

    We have had several pieces of work carried out by Corcoran Builders. As a construction professional myself I am aware of when a job is done well or not and can say that we are very happy with Gerry and his team and would not hesitate to work with them again.

Daragh & Georgia

“We had a great experience working with Gerry and his team. Gerry's open, honest and personable engagement from the outset of the project was a huge asset. Gerry and his whole team are consummate professionals. We are delighted with our new home and would gladly recommend Corcoran Builders!”

  • Kayleigh & Chris

    We have used Corcoran Builders on several projects over the years.

    2014: A full renovation of a two bedroom flat in West London

    2017/18: Partial renovation, including garden works, of a three bedroom house in Maidenhead

    2021: A full renovation of a five bedroom, four bathroom, house in south Buckinghamshire

    We have been so impressed with Corcoran Builders on all occasions that we have used them. Gerry takes time to understand what his customers want and is practical and professional. Nothing was too much, and every avenue was explored to make sure that our vision was realised. All of the team are reliable and trustworthy, and we felt ever so comfortable to have them working in our homes. We have been delighted with the quality of their work and they have always been a pleasure to work with. We would certainly use them again and we regularly recommend them to friends and family.

  • Phil & Helen

    Whilst a small footprint, the building works required opening and supporting a relatively large opening to the front supporting wall of the house, excavations, soakaway drain, floor removal and included plumbing, the installation of electric underfloor heating, replacement of heating and boiler controls, a good few square metres of ceramic tiling, a vaulted ceiling, an external roof, and lifting, deep digging re-bar preparation and re-laying of many square metres of block paving.

    Each and every one of the teams took great pride in their work which can be seen in the final finish. The external brickwork, roofing, flashing and the block paving of the drive had us and our neighbours very impressed as works progressed.

    All of the teams were all extremely polite, and on a daily basis left the site secure and as neat and tidy or better than when they arrived. They put in long hours, and not once did they turn up late, leave early or disappear from site for days on end, always communicating what we could expect and when.

  • Suzie & Matt

    We have used many builders over the years. Corcoran are the only one we would recommend (we are very fussy!). The estimate and quotation process for our large two storey rear extension was straightforward, detailed and queries were answered promptly. The build phase was as smooth as it can be, the team are top notch, professional, friendly and take real pride in their work. Gerry managed them effectively with constant site visits and updates. The project was finished one week early and within budget, despite some unrelated / unforeseen extra work being needed as we progressed. The finish that the team achieved was very high quality. The minimal snagging was completed efficiently. We have recommended Corcoran to anyone that has asked and would do so again without hesitation. We’ve kept in touch, despite the work being completed a couple of years ago.

    Gerry is a lovely guy and Corcoran would be our first choice for any future work, no question.

Jenny & Russ

“We engaged Corcoran Builders in October 2022 to undertake a complete renovation and extension of our house in Beaconsfield. It has truly been a seamless journey from start to finish, and I've developed a wonderful rapport with Gerry since the start of the project. During the tender process, we visited several of his sites and witnessed the quality of his work first-hand. Additionally, we received two personal recommendations. When the quotes arrived, we opted for Corcoran due to their demonstrated expertise, loyalty to previous clients, and transparent pricing.

All work was always carried out to a very high and professional standard and craftsmanship; it was such an exciting process from start to finish. Many people say renovations such as this can break you, but Gerry dealt with any problems with a solution based mind and everything was discussed to each finer detail so nothing was missed. My father who is a retired construction surveyor was on board just to ensure things went smoothly and he was very impressed with Gerry's team and their workmanship. He did not have to intervene once as Gerry's communication remained clear and transparent throughout.

The Corcoran team are also a delight to work with, they literally sing as they work - even in the snow! I enjoyed having teas and chats with them all. Not one contractor was rude or unapproachable and all had upmost respect and consideration for myself, my partner and our new home. I also have to leave a special mention to Tony - who is saved in my phone as the 'worlds best carpenter' He is simply so talented, with a wonderfully creative mind and came up with some great solutions to make our home even more fantastic. The whole project working with Gerry and Corcoran builders has been a complete pleasure and we have nothing but positive feedback. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Gerry and his team, and we would have no hesitation to engage their services again in the future.”
