Highlights
"Always nervous having building works done due to a stressful experience some years back. We had three quotes for some long overdue home improvements (refurbishment of GF and extension to our front porch) and chose to go with Creative Construction Ltd largely due to the initial interactions we had with their representative Josh. He was very polite, knowledgeable and he and his team delivered exactly what we’d hoped for. Stunning job on the house - cuffed to bits and happy to recommend"
"Josh and his team did a fantastic job of reconfiguring the entire downstairs of our house, including adding steel supports, removing walls, moving doors & windows, and installing new kitchen, utility room, plumbing, underfloor heating and new boiler. We’re delighted with the work and love living in the new space. Josh’s commitment to his clients is exceptional. His team were always prompt, personable, extremely hard working and worked to a very high standard. His communication was fantastic throughout, &the project was finished on time and on budget, to a very high standard. Highly recommend."
"Would happily recommend Creation to others, the work was carried out to a very high standard with an exceptional attention to detail. The team were reliable, friendly and found ways to deal with unexpected issues. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

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 Creation Construction & Carpentry Ltd before you contact them.
