This company did excellent cladding work on my property and also on my semi-detatched neighbours house. They were punctual and skilled with the product. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
They were polite, fast and the work was excellent the attention the detail was good the cuts were accurate the sealing tidy, screws evenly spaced … ideal if you are fussy like me. I was pleasantly surprised. If I had one moan it was that I did find a few mastic nozzle off cuts in the long grass but only when I mowed is so not really easy to spot.
Can't recommend highly enough. Had fascias, soffit and guttering replaced on my house and the workmanship was fantastic. All carried out when it was booked in for and at a very good price with no issues. Would definitely use them again.
Excellent service. Cleaned up daily. Very professional service.
Ryan is ideal, understands the work to be done, prompt with the quote, turns up on time and as promised, does the job well and efficiently, invoices as per quote, recommended.

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.
