Planning & design

Timm – Wideopen

Dan and his team completely renovated my dated bungalow. Adding an extension to the rear with a feature sky lantern and a loft conversion giving me the space and home I could only dream about. I am so happy with the workmanship, Dan and his team were polite and informative thought all stages and I am delighted at the finished project. I could not recommend Shaw Home Improvements enough and I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Gardner – Seaton Burn

Would like to say a HUGE thank you to Dan and his lads, our extension is now complete and we couldn’t be happier with it. Amazing job. Would also like to say the group of tradesman Dan has working with him have been second to non, respectful of our home, supportive, hard working and very courteous. Also Sharon in the office, always there with queries we had. Thank you once again , Carol and Graeme gardner .

Laura Havery – Lowfell

We found Shaw Home Improvements on Facebook, after looking around for a builder to do our new open plan kitchen/dining room. I rang up and spoke to Sharon in the office explaining what we would like. Dan came out and gave a free estimate offering friendly, professional, non pushy advice when doing the quote. We decided to go ahead after reading other reviews and finding the price great! The work has been completed today and I am so happy with it! Sam the lad who worked on the job was very good, and nothing was a bother to him. Can’t thank the Shaw Home Improvements enough from start to finish of our new kitchen!

Mr & Mrs Buckley

Would not hesitate to recommend Shaw Home Improvements. It was a difficult build not without complications however Dan and his team overcome everything to ensure we ended up with the perfect extension to our lovely home. I absolutely love the final product. Thanks so much.

Mr Dunwell – Harrogate

From the first phone conversation, Shaw Home Improvements were professional, honest and exceptionally diligent in every aspect of the work I have had done.

With this in mind I referred them to a family member who to this day cannot rave about Shaw Home Improvements enough.

So five stars aren’t enough easily a six if not seven star service for every aspect of their work completed.

Malcolm Holiday – East Howden

Shaw have now undertaken three projects for me and I’ve been extremely pleased by the standard of work each time. Dan is very good at discussing options and making suggestions about the best way to achieve what the customer wants. The company are extremely professional and discussed progress all through the project to ensure we understood what was happening and were happy with it. The quality of work is extremely high and I have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Mr & Mrs Hunter

We have now had our kitchen extension for 8 months… and absolutely love it. It has made such a difference to our way of living .Dan and his lads made a superb job and Dan’s help and advice were invaluable.He is a perfectionist and this isn’t always easy to find in the building trade.It was on a recommendation that we found him and we have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.We will never go anywhere else.

Sue Langlands – Love Avenue

A reliable trustworthy and very professional company with out a doubt. Shaw fully renovated my home to the highest standard. Dan gave me help and advice throughout the process and made sure I was happy every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend this company highly enough and don’t know what I would have done without Dan’s help. He goes above and beyond to please the customer and is a perfectionist, no other company I have dealt with compares! Thank you so much Dan, you have made our house a home and we are all 110% happy.

Mr & Mrs Hill – Kingston Park

Used this company twice now & have recommended them to others. Love the little things like the phone call the week before the booking to check everything was still ok. Full project managing of the deliveries, skip & tradesmen was spot on, even neighbours in the street commented. Daniel has great planning ideas & suggested a much better layout than we had first suggested.

Mr & Mrs Mingstone – High Heaton

Daniel came recommended. He was very professional. Customer satisfaction was a high priority for him. He solved issues promptly and kept me informed at every step. I had spent a long time searching for companies that would provide me with PVC sash windows that looked authentic and operated in a similar way. None of the smaller companies I had looked at could provide me with this. I had quotes from larger companies and was initially going with Safestyle. However their poor customer service and very pushy manner put me off. I was lucky enough to have Daniel recommended to me after this. He is a perfectionist and it shows in his work and manner. Neighbours in the street who have seen and watched him working have also asked him for quotes on work for their property. He is very helpful with advice on other issues to do with work I would like done. I can not recommend him highly enough.

Mrs Timm – Wideopen

Shaw home improvements recently completed a bathroom refurbishment at my property. Dan and his team were very attentive to detail from quote to completion! My bathroom is exactly what I dreamed of and I’m so happy with the finished work. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable honest builder! Dan is a perfectionist and you won’t be disappointed!

Mr & Mrs Whall

Just had Shaw Home Improvements NE Ltd undertaking the installation of a new kitchen within my home. The attention to detail and workmanship was of high quality standards. The works carried out were done with minimum disruption and were very clean and tidy throughout. No hesitation is recommending this company.

Mr & Mrs Dowey

Shaw home improvements were professional from the beginning. Dan Shaw is knowledgeable and offered advice and guidance on our project. Deadlines were kept too and the workmen were polite, friendly and reliable. The whole company is run efficiently and we were completely satisfied with the quality of the work. So satisfied that we have accepted another quote from Shaw improvements to complete more work. We would not hesitate to recommend the company.

Mr Hall – New Hartley

The work was carried out in a thoroughly professional manner to the highest standards. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

Daniel and his team were always on time, discussed any issues clearly and agreed on a solution. The attention to detail and cleanliness were superb. We will use Daniel in the future for any work we require and would not hesitate to recommend him to family or friends.

Mrs McNamara – Gosforth

Dan and his team have been doing work in my house for years and most recently a new bathroom and toilet. I’m delighted with the finish. The lads were always on time extremely helpful and cleaned up every night. Dan is a stickler for attention to detail and checks everything over at the end of the job.

Mrs Dillion – Low Fell, Gateshead

Great thanks so much to this company . Really professional and friendly , all good very happy . Kitchen extension looks amazing just what I wanted.

Mrs Goward – Seghill

Dan and his team did an excellent job to complete our garage/utility after we had been the victim of cowboy builders a few years ago.
They always turn up on time and were very efficient, pleasant and professional. The site was always left tidy, and Dan very effectively project managed the development and was always very approachable and took responsibility throughout..
We are delighted with the space that has been created and would not hesitate to recommend Shaw Home Improvements. Indeed we have already booked further work with them later this year.

Mrs Oswell – Spital Tongues

Dan and his team carried out a full renovation to my Office in Spital Tongues. I can’t speak highly enough of the works carried out. Initially they were replacing the windows, door and reconfiguring the interior, but on stripping it back it was found to need new supports of steel to replace the old oak frame. Nothing was too much trouble and he quickly advised on what further work the job would require to complete. My business was open throughout the build and the building made secure each evening. The renovation was completed to a very high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan and the team to anyone requiring work. He also replaced my front door and side window at my home address. Thank you Dan and all at Shaw Home Improvements.

Kingsley Hyland -Gosforth

I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for all significant forms of building work. I recently undertook what for me was a major building project involving the erection of an extension and a substantial porch, replacement of all downstairs flooring, replacement bathroom and new downstairs WC in a challenging location. Not knowing where to start I did some research online and was impressed with the professional nature of this company’s website and the very positive customer testimonials. This professionalism was reflected from my first meeting with Dan Shaw until the completion of the project on schedule and within budget. All of the people who worked on the project were either employed directly by the company or were regularly contracted by the company and all were clearly highly competent in their particular areas of expertise. They were all polite and pleasant to deal with and showed abundant patience with my persistent and often naïve questions. The whole project was overseen by Dan himself along with strong and efficient administrative support from the company’s office. All minor issues were immediately resolved and numerous small improvements made at their suggestion were incorporated as the work progressed with the only additional costs being incurred with specific ‘extras’ which I had requested. Five weeks on from completion no significant ‘snagging’ issues have arisen. What I had anticipated would be a highly stressful process proved to be anything but.

Claire Lambton -wideopen

Shaw Home improvements were fantastic in completing our whole house refurbishment. They replaced all Windows ,built our conservatory, redesigned to open plan living,fitted kitchen, replaced all flooring , internal doors, skirting, exterior doors etc. This was all completed over 7 weeks with little disruption to living as we resided in the property throughout. Dan ensured the property was liveable in the evening which was a great relief. I would highly recommend the quality level of workmanship and would not hesitate to use their services in the future.

Paul Hill -Kingston park

Had extensive work done on a project. Dan was there all through the process on time every day and work done to a high standard and won’t use anyone else now
