The 4 berth garage/studio which Acorn Builders have undertaken has been a "transformational event" for us, turning a muddy garden jungle into a first rate entrance, forecourt and garage/playroom facility.  The standard of work is well above that which we've experienced on our previous building projects and we cannot commend you enough on the quality of your project management.  Disruption to daily life has been minimal during the construction process and your workforce have been courteous and helpful throughout.  Your assistance and suggestions in developing our conceptual forecourt design have proven to be invaluable and flexible, which has ensured that we have remained within budget on this project.  Please pass on our appreciation to your team and do not hesitate to use us as a future reference.

For us, we also realised the importance of never underestimating the experienced builder as the project progressed. Your 30 years experience in the business, not only meant that you dealt calmly with any unexpected situations that occurred (and we had a few!) but you were also able to offer great recommendations and valued advice throughout.  But most importantly, you were a team that we really liked and were happy to have in our house for 7 months, which meant we were able to build a great working relationship and a high level of trust. We certainly feel very fortunate to have used Acorn for our project and would definitely have no hesitation in recommending you and the team to anyone else. We just hope we will have the opportunity to use you again in the future.

Like most people, our relationships with builders has not always been great and until recently, we have never gone back to the same builder twice.  We were therefore understandably concerned when we took on a property, as our new home, that needed a major refurbishment.  On a recommendation, we received a quote from Mike Russo of Acorn Builders based in Haslemere.  It has been a fabulous experience and we are so pleased to have found a genuine builder who is helpful, trustworthy, innovative, competitive on price and delivers on time and budget.  He always finds a “way to do things” rather than the usual negative reaction to ideas and dreams.  We are now on our third project with Mike and his team.  Mike’s customer service after the job is completed is also first rate.  They are a great group of true tradesman with traditional values and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have used Acorn Builders many times and they always produce good work and are a pleasure to deal with.

We have used Acorn Builders on a number of occasions and each time they have carried out their work in a friendly, professional and efficient manner. Mike and his team have always been engaging and accommodating. They take great pride in their work, which is finished to a high standard and within the agreed price and timeframe. They are pleasant to have around and what's more, always tidy up after themselves at the end of each day. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Acorn Builders undertook an extension and a complete house renovation for me. This work included internal restructuring, new plumbing, rewiring and plastering throughout together a with new kitchen.
I found everyone within the Acorn Builders team were very easy to work with. Acorn Builders only use experienced tradesman to carry out every stage of the project. There work is of a very high standard and they consistently work around any problems which arise with a can do attitude. The works were completed on budget with the exception of a couple of pre-agreed unforeseen variations.
Acorn Builders has previously completed an extension and major house refurbishment as well as installing a large block paving drive. Their work stands the test of time and I have no hesitation recommending them.

We found Mike and the team at Acorn extremely helpful and they have carried out a great job with our house extension and conversion of the garage into a sitting room.
It has been a difficult project at times as they have worked through two lockdowns and had to source materials when they have been in short supply.
Any problems that we had were dealt with in a swift manner and nothing was a problem.
We found the team to be trustworthy and our neighbours have commented on how the builders have been accommodating and how they have worked in a friendly and tidy manner.
