"10/10 – Absolutely over the moon with our garage conversion! From start to finish, Dan was brilliant! Professional, reliable, and a real pleasure to have around. They kept us in the loop throughout, worked incredibly hard, and delivered everything exactly as promised (if not better!). The quality of the finish is outstanding, and it honestly feels like it was always part of the house. They were tidy, respectful of our home, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the care they took in getting everything right, thank you so much!! ☺️"

Extremely pleased with all aspects of the job (detached garage rebuild), very pleasant young man & would not hesitate to use in the future. It's a shame I cannot upload any images as the property has since been sold.

I discussed my fussy requirements for a bending wall to separate my flower bed from the lawn. I was particular about everything from the angle of the bends, the height and even the type and colour of brick. Thankfully Dan was very patient with me during this time. I now have a first class flower bed just waiting to have new plants. I’m very impressed with the outcome and would certainly use him again for any future building needs.

Very happy with Dan and his work. Listened to our needs and fulfilled our requirements to an excellent standard which were removal of door and window, bricked up, pebble dashed and plastered. Removal of internal glass door, surrounding and frame then plastered. Hard working, punctual and polite throughout. Would highly recommend.

Recently had work completed by this company and cannot recommend highly enough. A very professional company that are reliable, hard working, have excellent time keeping, and always maintained constant contact. The workmanship and materials used are of an extremely high standard and we have received a faultless service. We have since recommended Dan and his team to various other people we know who are looking for work to be carried out too. Definitely will not let you down.

We requested a large sandstone patio, this is the patio in the gallery. We were very pleased with their hard work and quality of the end result. We would definitely recommend this company and will be using them again ourselves for any future work.

A huge thank you for the hard work completed in our garden. Amazing from the get go. I arranged a garden make over for my parents 30th anniversary and knew what we wanted: raised flower bed on each side of the garden and one with an integrated bench . I couldn’t give him an exact time to start as the parents weren’t giving an exact time time they were leaving. Dan waited until given the go ahead and then came round. He worked tirelessly, was very efficient and told me each step he was doing. I had given a picture of the sort of thing I wanted and he created the entire look even better than I imagined! From the amazing (and spot on) estimations of how many sleepers would be needed, making and creating the beds and bench, tilting the back rest for comfort, to boxing the back off to make a shelf. Cannot thank him enough for the work he has done. We have very surprised/extremely happy parents right now.

Our patio job went like a dream from initial plan and quotation, through to completion. Completion was within budget and timescale. They worked hard for us through some really hot weather. We just kept the drinks flowing and provided shade where we could. The only smidge down on cleanliness was due to a few splats on the drive caused (I think) from mixer cleaning. That said protective boards were laid down over most of the area. I would strongly recommend DC General Builders; they are going to quote/advise on future works for us.

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.
