Highlights
"Very polite, friendly and helpful company. Really happy with the works carried out very reasonable priced. Very Professional finish would highly recommend and we will be using this company again."
"Great value, great communication and great standard of work. Job completed on time and to the building specs set out by the planners. Highly recommended."
"New support required for a heavier hot-water cylinder. Ben did a great job with this. He took the time upfront to assess the task, and clearly laid out the approach he would take. He took into account the current layout, and made better use of available supports already in place. And he scheduled his work to fit with the plumbers, between cylinder removal and reinstallation, which made organising the project a whole lot easier for me. Absolutely could not have asked for a better result. I'd recommend BLR."

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?
