Highlights
"We had a brilliant experience of using DK building services. Keith and Danny have gone above and beyond to get our kitchen conversion finished to the highest of standards, they’ve worked tirelessly and handled all aspects of the project for us, Keith has been honest and transparent about all aspects of work throughout including pricing and advise on what would improve our plans. Not only is the work 10/10 but their genuinely really lovely people who we have felt comfortable with throughout the process, by the end of our work they have felt more like friends and were really grateful."
"Used this company for two jobs, firewall in loft and repointing porch. Very pleased with the work, would happily recommend them. Communication brilliant and very helpful."
"Keith and Danny saved our sanity and our kitchen plans. We had bought an older home which had to have its kitchen ripped out meaning damage had been left to the walls and surrounding areas, we only had 7 days until our new kitchen was due to be started on and the boys managed to fit us in quickly, make us a priority and do an excellent job at repairing the damage caused. We were so stressed we wouldn’t be able to find anyone in time but were so glad we found DK building services. 10/10 work, friendliness and professionalism. We will be having them back for future work."

Smart checks
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.
