Highlights
"well-priced. Good communication. excellent standard of work. Ricky sorted out surprise issues along the way (damp under floor and leaky flat roof). left things tidy each day. 100% recommended"
"We had a terrible leak with water rushing through the ceiling into our bedroom, and it was genuinely stressful. Ricky came out within hours of my phone call, immediately assessed what was going on and sorted the problem quickly and efficiently. He was calm, friendly and reassuring at a moment when we really needed it, and it was such a relief to have someone who clearly knew exactly what they were doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clarks of Brighton. They’re responsive, helpful and they get the job done."
"We are very happy with the service provided by Clarkes of Brighton. We needed a new roof on our 4 bed bungalow and as our daughter had a very positive roofing experience with Clarkes in 2017, we asked them to do the work. All members of the team were professional, polite and friendly. The project manager gave great attention to detail enabling the work to be completed within 2 weeks to a very high standard. Thank you Clarkes of Brighton!"

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.
