What people say about us

Wyvern College Re-roofing and window walling project

We are very pleased to say that this project undertaken by West End Group has been managed and prosecuted extremely efficiently and effectively.
We have worked with West End from the outset through to completion and all aspects of the process have been undertaken very professionally and the work completed to a very high standard. On a day to day basis the construction site was managed very well and the College now boasts a much improved teaching block. The work was completed within budget and ahead of schedule- always a bonus for a school project.

Mark Westlake Business Manager Wyvern School

Very high standard

“I have to say I have carefully monitored this project from start to finish. This is a particularly exceptional roof, in the way of neatness and waterproofing standards.
The fine detail work shown in the pictorial data is of a very high standard.
The WEG operatives on this project should take all credit for this. Much thought and planning has gone into creating the finish that has been achieved here.”

Field Technician, Soprema UK

Kept The School Fully Informed of Work Progress

Senior Building Surveyor, Surrey County Council

Informed as works progressed

“I also wanted to pass on compliments that I have had from the school regarding your Site Manager's performance throughout the job.
The Business Manager told me that your Site Manager had worked very hard in all-weather conditions to move the work forward safely and his interpersonal skills were excellent.
Your team kept the school fully informed of work progress and had accommodated the school where ever possible to facilitate the transit between buildings on all phases of the work.
Well done to the team, the school were very impressed with your work and conduct.”
