Highlights
"We got Brad and Phillip in to replace some rotten steels. They did a great job, quick, tidy and when we asked them to do some extra jobs they got straight to it. We later got Brad back to build a garden office and patio area amongst other things. I would highly recommend BGS, we are very happy."
"We were absolutely thrilled with the porch extension built by BGS and would have no hesitation recommending their services. The whole process from start to finish was carried out on time with us being kept informed throughout the project, most importantly Brad and Phil were always mindful of any inconvenience which may have been caused to our neighbours. An excellent company to deal with and we are delighted to have found our go to builders for the years ahead ."

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.
