What our clients say

We are delighted with our beautifully finished new quay heading and pontoon. Unforeseen rubble under the old pontoon was speedily dealt with. Amis kept in touch during the work discussing solutions to the problem and finishing the project exactly how we wished. We would not hesitate to recommend Amis Piling & Dredging.

I would highly recommend Kev Monk at Amis Piling for all piling work. I have had a huge amount of repair work carried out over the last six weeks and can honestly say that Kev and his team carried out a perfect job in a very professional and skilful manner.

The planning and all other administration work was handled by him completely, so I didn't have any worries in this field. The team were always punctual, helpful, hardworking and certainly knew what they were doing: all in all an excellent job.

At times when Kev was not on site during the week, he always came at the end of the week to check in and make sure I was happy with everything, and if I had any queries or concerns I only had to phone him and he would come over and answer them as soon as he could.

I would definitely recommend Amis for this type of work and would certainly use them again in the future, should the need arise.

After calling Kevin to look at our pond clearing of vegetation, a prompt reply was made with a site visit. A quote was made with a breakdown of costs and a starting date given to work in with ourselves.

Work was done on time in a professional manner and a credit to all those involved.

Amis Piling & Dredging recently completed the refurbishment of the road sluice gates which control the river levels on the old course of the River Bure for us at Buxton Mill. The project was technically challenging, involving the replacement of two closely spaced roadside sluice gates and frames whilst having to maintain the river flow during the works. Due to this complexity and tight timescales, we initially struggled to find any contractor willing to take the job on until Kev at Amis Piling & Dredging was recommended to us. Thankfully, Kev provided solutions whereas others found problems and he meticulously planned the work, cleverly designing a temporary metal shuttering system to isolate each gate to allow them to be replaced separately so the river flow could be maintained. We were so grateful that Kev and his team undertook all the project management including organising the road closure and the relevant permits. The road closure restrictions meant that the site work had to be completed in just four days; Kev & his team managed to complete it within three and a half days without sacrificing quality. Indeed, the craftsmanship of the finished oak frame far exceeded our expectations and the residents living in the Mill and village have all heaped praise on the professionalism and workmanship shown by Amis Piling and Dredging during the project. Commissioning refurbishment projects within a conservation area can be daunting and we are so pleased and relieved to find a contractor we can trust to make our stewardship of a local landmark so much easier.

Following the PCC meeting yesterday of Belaugh St Peter Church, we voted to send our thanks to Amis for the replacement of our staithe which was severely damaged last year.

We will not hesitate to recommend your company in the future for a rapid response to our enquiry for an estimate and making time to fit our work into your already busy schedule.

The men working on the site were polite and helpful, always leaving the site in good order each evening and the job ran to time.

You visited the staithe when the work was completed and gave good advice which will be very helpful in the future.

We have just had our quay heading, walkways and decking area replaced, and a fantastic boathouse designed and constructed for us by Amis. From our initial contact to completion the communication was first class, the workmanship is to a very high standard, the whole team on site were very professional, obliging and conscientious, so a special thank you to Jason and Splash.

We cannot recommend Kevin, Lucy and the team highly enough, our property has been transformed.

Just thought I would drop you a note and thank you for the quay refurbishment work carried out at both Kate's and our property in Coltishall. The new quay heading looks great. Kate and I would like to also thank your guys Jason (née 'Harry Kane') and Nathaniel, who were friendly and professional in the way the work was carried out and also finished the work to a top notch standard. Would definitely recommend your company and these guys to anyone. Thanks again and all the best.

Kevin has recently provided new timber capping for my riverside piling. The finished work is excellent and significantly enhances my riverside garden.

The two workers who completed the task were polite and professional and worked through some horrendous downpours of rain. They were a joy to have in my garden. I have a low linked fence along the river for the safety of my energetic puppy. They moved this to provide an area of grass for my puppy while the work took place and reset it along the river on completion.

I will add that Amis Piling completed the original work of installing a piled retaining wall back in 2011. Their care and workmanship at that time were outstanding, so needless to say I had no hesitation in having them return for this work.

I am writing to recommend the services of Kev Monk and his team. Kev came to us just before Easter 2024, to replace 25 metres of quay heading.

From start to finish the whole process went very smoothly, professionally and with exactly the results we were looking for.

From the initial site visit, to the quote, to setting dates for the work, Kev was very helpful and contactable, answering emails and phone calls promptly.

Once the work started the whole process was completed quickly and with a minimum of fuss and disruption and we are thrilled with the finished result.

We will definitely use Kev again and don't hesitate to recommend him to others.

Further to our meeting on site, I want to express my thanks for the quay heading work you have completed at Silver Birches. Your work has exceeded my expectations and I feel the following points deserve special mention:

I was keen to enlist the services of a company who could fully project manage the work. This was an important consideration for me, and from the start I felt confident that I was in safe hands.

You have always been available to answer my questions, and I very much appreciate the time you have taken to explain every aspect of the project, including the planning application. I have contacted you day and night, and your responses have always been swift. You have gone out of your way to make me feel like a valued customer, and for this I thank you.

I visited Silver Birches when the work was ongoing, and I spoke to two of your employees. They were polite, professional and informative, taking the time to talk me through what they were doing and answering my questions. These employees are a credit to you and your company.

The end result has blown me away: the quality has exceeded my expectations and the workmanship is nothing short of perfect. I have very high standards and I'm pleased to say you have met them. You have also completed the work ahead of schedule which is amazing.

You were recommended to me, and I won't hesitate to recommend you to others. Please feel free to photograph the work you have completed at Silver Birches and use this in your portfolio.

I am writing to recommend the services of Amis Piling. I have been using Amis Piling since 2018 and they have always provided a professional service and solutions to various tasks, sometimes in challenging environments. The team are skilled, punctual and able to work around our schedules and operating hours. They carry out all work as requested to a very high standard and I find their pricing to be fair and good value for money.

They have completed numerous jobs for BeWILDerwood in Norfolk and Cheshire, including:

• Out of hours call-out repairs
• Complete rebuild of our decked walkways
• Complete rebuild of our boat jetties
• Piling repairs and replacement
• Supply and installation of bespoke metal hardware

I am happy to recommend the services of Amis Piling.

I have been asked by Council to write to your Company and express their sincere thanks for your hard work and expertise in delivering the above project.

The Staithe had not been used as an official mooring for many years, and the banks were eroded and areas of the Staithe completely unusable.

Amis Piling were involved from the very beginning of the project, and supported the Council through every aspect of the build and offered advice and helped them address all of the issues encountered. These works have delivered a fabulous and professional project completely altering that entire area of the Town.

The Town Council, and I myself as Clerk, cannot thank Kevin and his team enough for their support and partnership during this transformation. The Town now has 24 hour moorings, a retaining piling wall making the area safe offering future stability for the watercourse, and all of the associated drainage issues in that area have been addressed and the surface flooding alleviated.

Many thanks to the team at Amis Piling.

Kevin and his very skilled and able team replaced our quay heading in September 2021. It was not an easy job with some awkward angles which they replaced with the smoothest riverside curve.

They also created a new walkway and a decked area which they designed in a very tasteful and thoughtful way. We have already had many compliments from people passing on the river and local villagers, as well as the Conservation Officer at the Broads Authority. It really is a work of art.

Most of all, it was the greatest pleasure to work with Kevin who went to endless trouble to make sure everything was just as we would like it, and better than we had dreamed of.

Kevin is always welcome to bring future customers to view his work in our garden.

We have recently had extensive rebuilding of moorings, decking, a mooring dock, dory shelter and quay heading by Kevin and his team at our house in Horning. He has also completed innovative structural repairs to an old boathouse to extend its usable life.

Amis Piling and Dredging have performed many pieces of work for us in various locations in Horning over the last 18 years.

All the work we have had done is excellent. The attention to detail and customer care are key features that we have greatly appreciated. All the workers on site have the same friendly and helpful approach that makes the job enjoyable for the customer. The finished product is a pleasure to experience and significantly enhances our enjoyment of the riverside facilities.

All quotes have been well prepared and the work has been delivered to agreed timescales and on budget.

I would strongly recommend Kevin for your riverside works.

It was a pleasure to work with Amis Piling. They have made an excellent and attractive job of the piling and decking and have been considerate and helpful throughout, despite unexpected challenges along the way. The guys doing the work were friendly and tidy, met timescales and left the site in good order. I would thoroughly recommend Amis Piling.

A huge thank you to Amis for an excellent job in replacing 56m of timber capping around our mooring basin, dredging, and replacement of telegraph pole boundary markers.

Your team worked impressively through endless downpours, unfailingly polite and good-humoured, respectful of private property, accommodating, and utterly professional. They left the site clear and clean, even to the extent that your site manager washed down the timber capping at the end.

Thank you for what you have done for us. We will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

Just dropping you a line to let you know that all the works were carried out to my satisfaction. The guys that were working here were very pleasant, very tidy and could not do enough to keep us happy. The final works are very good and I would recommend your Company to anybody. Many thanks once again for a job carried out very well and quickly.
