Highlights
"Malcolm and team carried out a full kitchen refurbishment for me including knocking down a wall and installing supporting beam. Then they laid new flooring throughout the ground floor. I got to know the team well as they were at my house for some weeks. I am delighted with the standard of work completed and communication with Malc was excellent throughout, keeping me up to date with on going costs. The lads were both lovely, friendly, polite and helpful. I would recommend FR building to anyone."
"Laminate flooring laid well and in good time. Very pleasant to deal with."
"I had a new downstairs toilet & basin fitted, along with a new extractor fan & air vent. The vent has been cleverly hidden, freeing up space in another room.All works (including additional requests) were discussed as the job progressed & were completed to a good standard, Clean & tidy workers."

Smart checks
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.
