Highlights
"Great price for my extension. Fantastic job with a great team, Clive was really helpful and work with was supposed to take 8-12 weeks. Was completed in 8 weeks. Highly recommended."
"This is the second job Clive has done for us, he built our extension a few years ago, we love it. This time we had a patio at the bottom of the garden and fence in the front garden. All looks lovely, really pleased with the end results. Clive has always been reliable & professional, he certainly knows his business. Clive is trustworthy, that is so very important to us."
"Clive came and rectified the work previously done by a cheaper builder. Clive came originally with a quote and I went with the cheapest. However did this didn’t pan out for me as I was left with unfinished work and builder not returning. Clive and his team came back promptly and rectified the work perfectly. I wish I had picked him originally! Brilliant service, great communication and completed the works to a high standard!"

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 C Stokes Building Services before you contact them.
