Detailed reviews

Jane Rice4.8 / 5

Luke gave us our garden back. We had some old tree stumps that needed to be removed before we could finish off our slabs and complete the garden. He arranged to be here first thing in the morning ( I left him the key as I was at work). I came home just after lunch wondering how far he had got and was amazed to find that not only had they removed the stumps, they had almost finished putting down all the rest of the slabs! Superman!

no complaints, luke and his team work very hard offer great ideas and are not happy until you are!, luke listened and understood what we were trying to achieve and carried it out far better than our expectations. We have used this company before and will definately use again in fact our neighbours used them and our friends! i think that speaks for itself.

Work carried out to remove old roof over porch and garage, re-felt flat roof and build cavity wall for alterations to porch. Very pleased with the standard of work and the manner in which it was done. Will be using this company again.

Graham Powling5.0 / 5

The work was completed quickly and efficiently. All workmen were respectful and showed pride in their work resulting in an extension that is in keeping with the original house. The site was left clean and tidy every day and we really appreciated the customer care and regularly being kept up to date with progress. All in all a friendly and professional service.

David Park5.0 / 5

Luke and his team were first class from start to finish. We had a complete new level added to our home converting our bungalow to a house. With a complicated steel construction and a small access road, this was by no means an easy project. However this was managed and undertaken with out any issues at all and I would have no hesitation in recommending Durrant Construction for any building works. I would also add that I have been in the building industry for over 25 years, so my expectations were at a high level prior to the start of the project, which was delivered on time and finished to an extremely high standard.

Durrant construction built our new utility room and shower room, the work was carried out to a high standard and at a reasonable price. We are very pleased with the finished result, it is exactly what we wanted, and we will definitely use Luke again. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Kevin Hadley5.0 / 5

Luke and his team are the real deal. We were given an estimated completion time of 8-9 weeks with a new baby imminent. They completed it in just under 7 by working 6 day weeks, always here at 7.20am and working as long as was necessary. I cannot recommend them enough and they have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The sign of a good builder is always when you want to tweak something a little as the project moves on and nothing was ever too much trouble - they even suggested alternatives too. I can honestly say I will never go elsewhere the next time more work is required. You would be silly to as well! Thanks again Luke.

Luke and his team completely refurbished my front room after a leaking roof and moved the door at the same time. A very hard working and friendly team who ensure you are informed of what is happening each day, also Luke was onsite to meet other tradesman required for the job and always called to check you were happy with the work. Do not hesitate to consider using Luke, you will be using a happy and experienced builder and one you will use for all other building works you required, well I know I certainly will be.

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.
