Highlights
"Tony and the team did an amazing job on my garden project. From start to finish they were easy to work with, super friendly, and really knew what they were doing. The communication was spot on, they turned up when they said they would, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The quality of the work is brilliant — the garden looks completely transformed, even better than I pictured. They were tidy, professional, and clearly take pride in what they do. Honestly can’t recommend Tony and his team enough. If you’re thinking about getting any garden work done, these are the guys to go with!"
"Constructed a reinforced concrete base for an octagonal greenhouse. Work carried out to a high standard and they cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. The team were friendly, professional and efficient. Would recommend."
"I can't thank back to bases enough for their outstanding workmanship. The workers arrived 7:30am every day and carried out a full days work. They were friendly and polite and discussed every step of the process with us and the work intended for the next day. They left everything clean and tidy every day."

Smart checks
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.
