Highlights
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend Brynes Renovations highly enough. Scott and Jack are conscientious, efficient, and extremely reliable. No job was too big or too small, and Scott was very adaptable when changes were made or additional work was added. They completed a full house renovation for me, including new radiators, doors, panelling, painting throughout, fitting lights, and moving plug sockets. Scott also handbuilt an amazing media wall and fitted new flooring throughout the downstairs, all finished to a very high standard and great value for money. They are friendly, 100% trustworthy!"
"I can honestly say that I would recommend Scott to anyone! We asked him to come around and give us a quote for a bathroom refurb! We were quite vague on what we wanted.. we just requested easy to clean & bright. Scott & Jack absolutely smashed what was asked! They worked really hard (inc. on a saturday!) They were clean and nothing was too much trouble.. including me asking for a mirror mid job! We will definitely be using them for future projects! Thanks so much Scott!"
"Very responsive and efficient service. Scott responded to my request very quickly, camr round to take a look and supplied a quote very quickly. He was flexible with his visits. The work itself was not a big project (completed in one day), but was done efficiently, courteously and the area was left very tidy on completion. We are very happy with the result and have already discussed and are thinking about another job. Thanks for the hard work."

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?
