“Working with AIM was a pleasure from start to finish. The final quote was provided with great detail and also a timeline of the works. We had a dedicated builder on site who also managed the other trades to ensure the project was kept on time and always let us know what was happening next. The attention to detail was perfect for our listed building to ensure the changes blended in with the rest of the property. As expected with an old cottage surprises were found on the way but each was overcome without any drama. The house was always kept tidy and as dust-free as possible. Most of the village have since commented on how good the works look and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high quality builders.”

“Working with AIM has been very satisfactory. They listen to the client and offer suitable solutions. The standard of work is high and carried out efficiently. I would be happy to use them again.”

“We needed listed building consent in order to proceed with the remedial works that were required on our cottage. AIM did not shy away from this and in fact were keen to understand any requirements and learn from the process. The AIM team were amenable and courteous. They were tidy and did their best to keep disruption to a minimum. As is typical with this sort of work there have been some follow up issues but AIM have returned for snagging without quibble. In short I'd be happy to use them in the future.”
Chris and Vern
“I have been working with AIM for, not far short of, a decade on a series of projects at my home in Sussex. That I have stayed with them for so long is the best testament to their reliability, quality and value. Their people are pleasant to work with, responsive and considerate, and once the job is done they don’t disappear. They are on hand to fix post-completion problems. A real rarity in todays building industry.”
Robert Devereux
“AIM carried out the complete renovation of my cottage ,built a garage with adjoining annexe , as well as landscaped the garden. I found that they really listened and contributed to the ideas I had and were always polite, efficient, friendly and professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew for his creative approach and deep understanding of older buildings and their sympathetic renovation.”
Jude Spooner
“We had a great experience with Andrew and his team, it was an absolute pleasure working with AIM. They were organised, anticipated issues and had solutions. They were also creative and had a ‘good eye’ for both the design and the detail. Andrew was also very available with his time and had a real passion for the job.”
Dwayne Lysaght
“Having bought a 250 year old flint cottage in the South Downs National Park we knew it was in need of considerable updating. Court Cottage was bursting with soul but needed serious resuscitation combined with a sympathetic makeover. We wanted a local builder who understood the level of work required, and Andrew at AIM came highly recommended. Andrews team didn’t disappoint, both skills and communication throughout came second to none. We are so thrilled with the result we are now looking forward to starting a new project using the same team to achieve equally exciting renovations but on a beachside property. Very happy customers.”
Julia & Colin Porter
“We would highly recommend AIM having a long experience of their workmanship and professionalism. Andrew McKellar always treats us with the utmost courtesy and respect and all work is completed on time and within budget.”
John & Maureen Harmer.
“My family and I lived in a small detached Grade 2 listed cottage in Finchdean which we wished to extend to create a larger family living space. I decided to use AIM because of their good reputation when working with listed buildings, not to mention being local as well. We are super happy with our new living space. Andrew and his team brought a lot of expertise and passion to the project. His team were conscientious, hard working, reliable and trustworthy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend AIM or use them for another project.”
Nick Smith
“We were delighted with the work AIM did for us. The bricks were carefully laid to match the existing ones and the garden was left very tidy and as mud-free as possible. Even the terrace was washed down. It’s impossible to say where the old bricks ended and the new ones begin.”
JANET AND EDWARD MYNORS
“I was recommended to AIM by my neighbours who have used them on many occasions, when one of my outside barn buildings became in danger of collapsing. They came up with a solution which was both imaginative and practical and I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
JANE ROBERTSON
“A really professional, helpful and friendly team from start to finish, we would definitely use them again.”
Ted and Pauline Dickson
“We used AIM to build our extension orangery in the South Downs National Park. The quality of the build is excellent, and no substandard work is accepted by AIM. The original flint work was deemed to be of poor quality and so was completely removed and redone. We're very pleased with the result.”
