Highlights
"Gary is your quintessential builder. Diligent, pragmatic, and really focused on the success of our project. Worked in tandem with the architects and no job was too small or unnecessary. He also brought new ideas and trends that helped to reduce costs and improve on time to complete. His prices are very realistic and not over-egged for profit. Now primed for our second big project which says everything about our trust and confidence in him."
"Having never embarked on a project of this size before it was pretty daunting. From the first meeting with Gary any worries disappeared. Gary is an outstanding project manager full of ideas and advice showing the full range of his expertise as a developer. His management of this whole build was superb, materials arrived with no delays and work was constant. Gary's staff are all skilled in their work watched over by Gary. The quality of the work was brilliant and we couldn't be happier. Gary and his team have delivered an outstanding family space for us. Thank you so much Gary, Luke & Ollie"
"We used Gary and the Castle team and they were brilliant. The workmanship was fantastic and we regularly get comments re the work Gary and his team completed. After using Castle Developments for an extension on the first floor we then asked Gary to complete a side extension and it all looks great. Gary works well with you and discusses ideas and your plans and also adapts to changes which was useful for us as we were indecisive at times. Richard was also fantastic especially his tile work and again advice on different ideas. Would highly recommend and we have done to friends and family."

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.
