Highlights
"Darren did a great job! Carefully removed the old wall, installed the new padstones and beam. Blocked up existing door, rendered and plastered to a great finish. Liased with the structural engineer and building control to ensure everything was done to design and building regs. Cleaned up well after themselves every day. Darren and his team are really polite. I would definitely use DJP again."
"I have used DJP Building and Landscaping Specialist before. Therefore I had no hesitation to ask them to complete my daughters new driveway, remove garage door and fit new double glazed window. There was alot of ground work and the installation of new drainage, new guttering and downpipe. The work was completed on time despite the weather and the workmanship was of a high standard. Darren communicated any changes that needed to be included and always left the outside of the property clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending DJP. Thank you for making my daughters dreams come true."
"Darren was recommended to me and I am so glad that he was. Darren and his team totally transformed by garden to a beautiful space. Darren is very approachable and extremely easy to communicate with. Darren allowed me the time to change my mind about sizes and shapes of things as we went along and was always totally obliging. I now have a beautiful garden that looks beautiful and will be very easy for me to manage. I would have no hesitation in recommending Darren and his team as they are hard working, polite and never making me feel awkward about anything. Would 100% recommended Darren."

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.
