Highlights
"Dale and the team were fantastic from day 1. We had no experience at all when it came to a house renovation project. Dale helped us every step of the way. No questions were too small and he always only a phone call away. Dale helped us to navigate our build and really helped us with issues we came across throughout. Dale asked for no deposit and we only paid him on work completed at pre-agreed stages of the build which helped us manage financially and feel like we were in safe hands throughout. Dale and the team are honest, reliable and very good at what they do! Highly recommended"
"From the moment I met Dale I felt we were in safe hands and along with Brian and the team the work was completed according to the schedule to a very high standard. The sub-contracters were all very nice and the whole project came together with minimal stress. Dale was very easy to contact and always replied promptly with a positive response. We are very happy with the finished extension and will certainly try to use them again in future if we plan any further building work."
"When we started thinking about our bungalow extension and converting our unused conservatory into a functional living space our neighbour advised us to contact Dale. From the first meeting, he was really straightforward and provided us with a lot of options to think about before we committed. When you are on a tight budget, you try to keep everything under control but with Dale, Brian and the subcontractors on site, we were in safe hands. They aimed to make us happy and did an excellent job. We absolutely love the bricks they suggested which makes our extension really outstanding. Great team!"

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.
