“Obelisk looked after the complete internal renovation of the Deanery at Southwark in 2012. The work was extensive including new bathrooms, kitchen and remodelling of some rooms, as well as compete redecoration. We were delighted with their work, with their willingness to keep to strict timetables and budget and their ability and skill to deliver a building which is restored to its former glory. We have continued to use obelisk for other work in the cathedral portfolio and have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“Over the last two years we have engaged in substantial refurbishment of our house in Ripplevale Grove. This work has involved major rebuilding of a bathroom to adapt it for use by my wife who has some constraints in walking. The bathroom was also fitted with underfloor electrical heating.
We had to make radical changes to our conservatory including the renewing of wooden structural elements. We have also embarked on some redecoration, and a host of minor refurbishment tasks. We have entrusted all this work to Obelisk, under the management of Mr Ciaran Comerford…
…all this work was undertaken with great care, on schedule and pursued to satisfactory completion. I would also like to mention that every one of the Obelisk staff was considerate of our needs and a pleasure to have around.”

“Ciaran and the Team at Obelisk refurbished my flat in West London and I could not be happier with the results. As a first time buyer I was understandably a bit overwhelmed with the stress of the purchasing process and a considerable amount of refurbishment needed to be completed in a short timescale before I could move in.
Ciaran took time to understand what needed to be done and recommended of plan of action that fit within budget and timeline, focusing on elements necessary to ensure I had a safe, secure and solid infrastructure to move into in the short term, with a plan to complete additional works over time. I’ve continued to work with Obelisk to complete a full kitchen renovation and replacement of all of the windows over the past years.
Ciaran’s experience and patience was invaluable to guide me through the whole process and I knew I was always in good hands! The team completing the day to day work on site perform to an extremely high standard and are courteous, friendly and respectful. They take pride in the work and in a knowing they have satisfied the customer’s needs.
I have referred several friends to Obelisk after my positive experience and they have completed several projects to the same high standard yielding very happy customers! I would recommend that anyone considering a home renovation project consider instructing Obelisk for their projects.”

“Sumita and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the whole Obelisk team for the fantastic refurbishment of our flat at 42 Comeragh Road. At the start of the project you took time to understand our requirements and the high specification for the project. Your significant experience helped us to understand what was possible in terms of both budget and timeline.
During the course of the project the whole team worked solidly and to an extremely high standard. You worked closely with us with regards to design and you were happy to include any ideas and suggestions we had. Again your experience was invaluable to guide us through what would work and where we may find difficulty. You dealt with issues that were uncovered during the course of the refurbishment without fuss and still delivered the project on time, while being considerate to the neighbours within the building.
I remember that within a few hours of our completing on the purchase of the property, your team had completely ripped-out the entire flat back to its bare bones in readiness for the refurbishment. Time is of the essence and you certainly wasted no time from the outset. Indeed, I set what I actually thought would be an impossible target of completing the project within a calendar month.
I am still amazed that you were able to achieve this and a tenant was able to move in immediately at the full asking price on the rent. You made it easy for us! You and your team are a pleasure to deal with and I positively look forward to working with you on future projects.”

“…I met Ciaran Comerford of Obelisk London Ltd in 2009 in connection with the English Heritage Partnership Schemes in Conservation Areas (PSiCA) project in London Road and Camberwell Green, where he very successfully carried out the building contract on No 12 London Road.
Obelisk are currently working on No 13 London Road; are also undertaking work at the rear of my home in Notting Hill and are about to undertake the repair and redecoration of the front elevation of this five-storey property. He is furthermore undertaking work internally in Clarendon Road W11 for very demanding clients, to whom I recommended this company. I understand that they are delighted with the quality and performance of Obelisk.
It is on this basis I feel able to comment on this company and can say that my comments are entirely positive and favourable. I would appraise this company in two ways; first on the quality of their work and; secondly, in terms of their method and approach. In my view Obelisk complete work to the highest and most exacting standards. The quality of materials, finishes and workmanship is excellent and in my opinion is good value…
…their strength lies in their approach. I believe they are completely trustworthy and establish good relationships on site; this is particularly important when working on occupied and tenanted properties. If something is not quite right, I have found them immediately willing to remedy the situation, having an overriding willingness to please and satisfy their client. I would rely on them and trust them to deal correctly and courteously with all local authorities and other officers, as appropriate.
In conclusion, I have no hesitation in recommending Obelisk London Ltd…”
