"I had the gym built from scratch. The building is made to the highest quality and more than exceeded my expectations. Richie was incredibly reliable and precessional. He also showed high integrity ensuring everything he did was to the highest quality and using the best materials. Amazing work and I wouldn’t hesitate to get Richie back for anything I need doing in the future."

"Richie came to do a couple of small jobs. We then asked him to rectify and start again with our gravel driveway. He was extremely professional, arrived on time, provided updates, broke down the quote and completed the work to a high standard"

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
