Highlights
"Sean did a brilliant job making custom kitchen cabinets to fix the messy area around a newly fitted boiler. He was punctual, kept in touch throughout, and very easy to deal with. The work was completed quickly and to a high standard, the cabinets look like they’ve always been there. He was tidy, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. Price was decent too. Would definitely recommend and use again!"
"Sean owned the project with full responsibility for every stage. He is very skilled, attentive to details and reliable as a builder and as project manager as well. He did a great job and we will definitely ask him for more work in our home in future."
"Sean was very communicative getting back to me quickly. He worked with me on the options until I decided one that I was happy with. Arrived on time, cleaned up each day and removed all materials. Good workmanship and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend. Thank you"

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?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Brennan’s before you contact them.
