We were very impressed with the knowledge and work carried out. Dave is a very genuine honest builder. He was very easy to work with and discuss ideas. We are very happy with the team and their work
Dave came to my house and gave me a very reasonable quote for the work which took just over two weeks to complete his work was very good and he did a fantastic job (one very satisfied customer)
Did what was promised. Very happy with the job. Brick work around the lawn. Took away wasted bricks etc.
Very helpful and friendly thank you ????????Definitely recommend
Empire builder were the best we've ever had. They were very clean and helpful. Nothing was too much for the guys when asked. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND and would return when needed
Was floor work - small area of cracked tiles/concrete
Absolutely the best builders ever who went above and beyond to achieve the kitchen and garage conversion of our dreams. Fantastic work ethic, 100% professional, always punctual and full of great ideas - nothing was too much for them to handle. We'd use them again and again. Many thanks, Dave and Kev!
The work was exceptional it really was. The guys were polite and respectful, we cannot fault anything. We would definitely recommend with no hesitation.
We booked Dave and Kev in to knock through from our hallway into the garage, and install a fire door. They did a great job, and were a pleasure to have around - great work ethic, used their experience to deliver the best job for us, and kept the area tidy. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Extension to drive top class job completely.

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.
