Highlights
"Really great experience thank you Barry. We were recommended this company from our friends when we wanted some new windows and doors fitted. Exactly the service you would hope but rarely get from trades. Quoting process was simple, Barry communicated with us the whole time to tell us when the installation would happen, guys turned up on time and did a cracking job and left everything nice and tidy afterwards. Thanks again!"
"Barry was lovely. He came to visit the house to give us our quote. He was well prepared with his measuring tape and catalogue for the porch door. He knew what needing doing and also gave advice. Price was very reasonable compared to others. He kept us informed of when people and things were arriving. Teams that helped were really nice and did a great job. Barry visited to check the work and that it was to high standard. If he wasn't happy, he would make sure it was sorted. Also, he is very trusting as you don't pay till the end when you are happy with everything. Thank you Barry and co."
"This is the 2nd job we've had done with Barry and both were 10 out of 10. Most recently was a kitchen renovation with internal wall removal. Ross and Jack took on this project and from the very beginning both were absolutely amazing. They kept everything as tidy and as dust free as possible and even made both the dog and the toddler feel at ease. Ross has a keen eye for detail and any little thing I was unsure on he made sure it was perfect. He communicated really well to me but also with the kitchen supplier ensuring a top end result that we are extremely happy with. Cannot thankyou enough."

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.
