Highlights
"We used Downside to help us repair a ceiling after some water damage. They have always been so reliable and trustworthy after doing a load of work in our previous property. Already will be lining them up for more work."
"Downside Builders carried out a kitchen extension for us and made several internal changes — moving the front door to the front of the house, moving the staircase, reconfiguring internal walls, and fitting both upstairs and downstairs bathrooms. We’re really pleased with the end result! A big thank you to Stuart and the team. Everyone was friendly and professional, and they worked hard to keep things as clean and disruption-free as possible. Would highly recommend them."
"Downside provide a professional and friendly service. Planning from start to finish was carried our perfectly ensuring that stages of the job transitioned flawlessly. The tradesmen are all kind and courteous and offer advise and a solution approach. The final build is excellent and we couldn't be more pleased with the result which was completed in the time frame given. We would highly recommend Downside and thank the team for their work."

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.
