James Walker15 September 2026

Really pleased with the work Omid and his team did for us. We had a rear extension built as well as quite a lot of refurbishment work inside the house, including new electrics and plumbing.

The team were friendly, reliable and easy to deal with. Omid was always available if we had a question or wanted to change something and kept us updated as the job went along. Everything was finished to a good standard and we're very happy with how the house has turned out.

Would happily recommend Everstone and would use them again.

Lucy & James Wilson29 July 2026

We appointed Everstone Build & Development to carry out a double-storey wraparound extension together with extensive internal alterations to completely transform our home. The project included creating a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area on the ground floor, adding a convenient WC under the stairs, and creating a spacious new bedroom with an en-suite as well as a new family bathroom on the first floor.

From our very first meeting, Omid stood out because of his technical knowledge and honest advice. He didn't simply build what was shown on the drawings; he took the time to explain different options, suggested practical improvements, and came up with ideas that made better use of the available space without unnecessarily increasing the cost. It genuinely felt as though he wanted the best outcome for our family rather than simply completing another building project.

Communication throughout the build was excellent. We always knew what was happening, any questions were answered quickly, and any changes we wanted were discussed openly with clear pricing before any work was carried out. The team were polite, hardworking, organised, and kept the site as tidy as possible throughout the project.

Looking back, one of the things we appreciate most is how Omid dealt with rising material costs during our project. Prices increased dramatically while the work was underway, yet he honoured his original quotation without asking us for extra money or using it as a reason to increase the cost. We only realised afterwards that he had absorbed those additional expenses himself. That level of honesty and commitment is rare nowadays and gave us complete confidence that we had chosen the right builder.

The quality of workmanship has been exceptional throughout. The structural alterations, steel installation, brickwork, roofing, plastering and finishing were all completed to an outstanding standard, with great attention to detail at every stage. The transformation has exceeded our expectations. The open-plan living space has completely changed the way we use our home, while the additional bedroom, en-suite and family bathroom have made it far more practical for our growing family.

Finding a builder you can genuinely trust isn't easy, but that's exactly what we found with Everstone. Omid combines engineering knowledge with outstanding craftsmanship, excellent project management, practical problem-solving and genuine integrity. He clearly takes pride in his work and treats every project as if it were his own home.

We couldn't be happier with the finished result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Everstone Build & Development to anyone considering an extension, refurbishment or structural alteration.

Claire Thompson4 July 2026

We chose Everstone Build & Development to create a new family bathroom as part of our house refurbishment, and we're so pleased we did. From the outset, Omid offered practical design advice that improved the layout and helped us make the best use of the space. He also suggested that we purchase the bathroom suite and tiles ourselves using his Trade discount, saving us a considerable amount of money. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, communication was excellent throughout, and the team were always reliable, tidy and flexible whenever we requested small changes. Even better, the project was completed ahead of schedule, with no unexpected costs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Omid and Everstone Build & Development to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional builder.

Mark Richardson15 June 2026

We appointed Everstone Build & Development for a double-storey extension, full loft conversion, and extensive internal alterations.

What stood out most was how Omid and his team handled the project as it evolved. We made several changes to the original design during construction, but everything was discussed clearly, costs were explained upfront, and any additional works were priced fairly and transparently. We always felt in control and never encountered any unexpected surprises.

One thing I particularly appreciated was that Omid seemed to approach the project as if he were building his own home. He regularly suggested alternatives and improvements that we had not considered, explaining the pros and cons of each option and allowing us to make informed decisions. At no point did we feel pressured into spending more money; instead, we felt he genuinely wanted the best outcome for us and the property.

The quality of workmanship was excellent, communication was consistent, and the project progressed much faster than we expected despite the various changes made along the way. It was clear that the team genuinely cared about delivering a high-quality result.

We are extremely pleased with the finished project and would happily recommend Everstone Build & Development to anyone considering an extension, loft conversion, internal alteration or any major renovation.

Sophie Bennett29 March 2026

We had a wraparound single-storey extension and internal refurbishment done in Cheadle by Everstone, and honestly we’re really pleased with how everything turned out.

From the start, Omid was easy to deal with and explained everything clearly. The work involved quite a lot — knocking through, new layout, and a full refurb — but it all ran smoothly and felt well organised throughout.

The finish is great, especially in the main living space, and the house feels completely transformed. Any small issues were picked up quickly and sorted without hassle. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Everstone Build & Development. They carried out a full refurbishment of my flat, and the results exceeded my expectations in every way.

The project included a complete demolition and rebuild of the bathroom and toilet from scratch, with all new plumbing fully embedded into the walls, high-quality tiling, and a modern, flawless finish. They also designed and fitted a brand-new kitchen, which was completed to an exceptional standard.

One of the major upgrades was replacing the traditional radiators with underfloor heating, including smart zoned controls. This completely transformed the comfort of the flat. Alongside this, they installed new flooring throughout, repainted the entire property, and even adjusted door heights to ensure everything was finished perfectly.

Omid and his team were professional, friendly, and fully responsible from start to finish. The work was completed earlier than agreed, and the site was always kept clean and tidy. They were extremely flexible and welcoming when I requested changes, and every adjustment was handled without any hassle.

Cost transparency was excellent, with clear pricing and flexible payment arrangements, which gave me complete confidence throughout the project.

I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. The quality of workmanship, attention to detail, and level of customer care were outstanding. I will definitely use Everstone again in the future and would fully recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality builders.

Antony3 December 2025

We recently hired Everstone Build & Development Ltd for a rear extension in our property, along with a full house refurbishment including complete rewiring, replumbing, and a brand-new porch. From the very first meeting, Omid and his team were professional, organised, and extremely knowledgeable.

The workmanship throughout the project has been excellent. The extension has completely transformed the ground floor, and the quality of the finish is outstanding. The rewiring and plumbing were done to a very high standard, with everything clearly explained and signed off properly. The new porch and downstairs toilet has also made a huge difference to the front of the house — very clean, modern, and solidly built.

Communication and commitment was brilliant all the way through. Omid kept us updated at every stage, was always transparent about timelines and costs, and genuinely went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with every detail. Any small changes we requested were handled without fuss, and the team always left the site tidy and safe.

We are absolutely delighted with the result and would not hesitate to recommend Everstone Build to anyone looking for a high-quality builder they can trust. A superb experience from start to finish.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Outstanding Work from Start to Finish!"

We recently hired Everstone Build & Development for a full renovation and extension project at our home in Wilmslow, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included a rear extension, garage conversion, new utility room, and a complete overhaul of the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms—including new wardrobes and bespoke finishes throughout.

From the very beginning, the Everstone team was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled. Their attention to detail and commitment to high-quality craftsmanship really stood out. The team handled every aspect with precision, and the final result truly exceeded our expectations.

They also extended and reworked our driveway, giving the exterior a fresh and polished look to match the beautiful transformation inside. Communication was excellent throughout, and they made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

We highly recommend Everstone to anyone looking for a trustworthy, high-quality building company. The work has genuinely transformed our home, and we’re so grateful for their dedication and expertise.

— A very happy client in Wilmslow

Emily Harper24 February 2025

I had a back and side extension completed by Dr Omid Khalaj and his team in 2021 on my property in Altrincham, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. From the very start, Omid provided valuable technical insights, helping to shape the project with a focus on structural integrity, practicality, and cost-effectiveness.

Their quote stood out as much more reasonable compared to other builders I spoke with in Altrincham, and thanks to Omid’s expert guidance, we made smart design and material choices that significantly optimized costs without compromising on quality.

The finished space is bright, open, and seamlessly integrated into the existing property, creating a modern and functional living area. The team’s workmanship, attention to detail, and efficiency ensured the project was completed on schedule and within budget.

I would highly recommend Omid and his team for anyone considering an extension in Altrincham or beyond. Their expertise, professionalism, and cost-effective approach made the entire process smooth, and the results speak for themselves.

Amir22 February 2025

I entrusted Dr Omid Khalaj and his team in 2024 with building a new outbuilding and a back extension, along with a full refurbishment of my home, including plumbing, electrical rewiring, gas, and water services. From start to finish, their expertise and attention to detail were evident, and they delivered the project within the agreed timeframe and budget.

What stood out most was Omid’s invaluable advice throughout the build. He provided practical and cost-effective solutions, particularly regarding foundation design, insulation, and integrating renewable energy systems. Based on his recommendations, I decided to install solar panels with battery storage, incorporate a heat pump, and fully insulate both the new outbuilding and the back extension. These upgrades have had a huge impact on reducing my energy bills and improving overall efficiency.

Beyond that, his team did a fantastic job ensuring both the outbuilding and extension were built to a high standard, completing all rewiring, plumbing, and finishing touches with precision. The end result was a modern, functional, and energy-efficient living space. Their workmanship, organization, and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

I recently learned that Omid has expanded his business under the name Everstone Build and Development, and based on my experience, I have no doubt that he will continue delivering high-quality, reliable, and well-executed projects.

For anyone considering building an outbuilding, an extension, or undertaking a major construction project, I highly recommend Everstone Build and Development. Omid’s knowledge and his team’s craftsmanship set them apart.

Sara21 February 2025

In 2023, I instructed Dr Omid Khalaj and his team to undertake a major transformation of my home in Wilmslow, including a back, side, and front two-story extension, which doubled the size of the original house and completely changed its shape. This was not just an extension—it was a full-scale redevelopment, involving everything required for a new build from scratch to completion.

The project included:

✅ Massive steelwork for structural integrity

✅ Floor replacement throughout the entire property

✅ Complete electrical rewiring and plumbing renewal

✅ Full heating system upgrade, including underfloor heating on both floors

✅ Installation of renewable energy systems, including solar panels and a heat pump

✅ New flat roof with fiberglass finish

✅ Plastering, tiling, and LVT flooring installation

As someone with zero knowledge of building work, I didn’t realize how complex and demanding such a large-scale project would be. However, Omid and his team handled everything with professionalism, precision, and efficiency, ensuring every phase was completed on time and within the agreed budget. Their ability to manage structural, mechanical, and finishing details seamlessly was truly impressive.

Recently, I was informed that Omid has expanded his business under the name Everstone Build and Development, and based on my experience, I have no doubt that he will continue delivering exceptional results with the same expertise and dedication.

I highly recommend Everstone Build and Development to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, and highly skilled builder. Their work speaks for itself!
