So pleased with the porch. Used Darren for house renovation and will continue to use him for any future work. Highly recommend.
Can’t recommend enough started on the day scheduled and stayed on the job until complete. We have used Darren for a full renovation but he has also done smaller jobs. Trustworthy and reliable competitive on price and always picks up the phone when you ring.
Helpful, knowledgeable, hard working, trustworthy, friendly, and works to a high standard. This was our first major building project and we were really nervous about chosing the right builder. Darren Finney was the right choice and we will definately use him again.
It’s the 2nd time we have asked Darren to do work for us. This time it was a kitchen extension. The price was competitive and the workmanship was outstanding. The years of experience showed. He gave us ideas and advice throughout the build. He was punctual, respected our home and never stopped working. We are more than happy with the end result. I would happily recommend his services to anyone.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
