Highlights
"Colin and Jon have done quite a few jobs for us around the house — painting and decorating our hallway and bedroom, fixing up parts of our kitchen and doors, and rendering the garden walls. They also fitted custom doors, ran electrics to our garage, jet-washed the patio, and even built us a puppy pen for when our dog had puppies! They’re both really tidy, reliable, and pay great attention to detail. Everything was finished to a high standard, and we’re really pleased with the results. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!"
"Jonathan and Colin were great for us. They were really kind, calm and helped us to resolve a huge issue from a previous builder. Reliable, punctual with quality work and care of your home by cleaning up after which shows such good characters chaps. Thanks so much L. O East London"
"I have had these boys do both interior and exterior work in my home. They (fully) converted a room in my loft, built an external boiler room and demolished, then erected up my front wall. I also had a custom window put in my living room. The quotes on the work never went up (unless additional work was requested) and they were dedicated, professional workers, completing everything without leaving any last min. bits. There is real building experience with this team and they have clearly mastered their craft. You will not be disappointed with the work you get done."

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.
