Highlights
"Excellent work from start to finish. The new wall has been built to a very high standard with neat, tidy brickwork and great attention to detail. The team were punctual, professional, and hardworking, and they left the site clean and tidy once the job was completed. Communication was clear throughout and the result looks fantastic. I would happily recommend them and would use them again."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on EK Construction before you contact them.
