Highlights
"Pleasant, helpful and efficient got through taking down a wall and replacing all the old cabinets and appliances, Coordinated brilliantly the electrician, plasters and plumbers and took on the many associated bits to make the job complete. Finished the whole job to their quotation. I can recommend Aidan & Harry to others. I will use them again. Lindsay in Seaford."
"I can't rate Foxtail highly enough. They did a hip to gable dorma loft extension for us and have done a fabulous job! They're perfectionists and really do care about making every detail right. We fully trusted them to advise on every decision we needed to make. The extension is absolutely solid, not a single creak. They were super tidy and disruption to our home was minimal. Harry, Aidan, Matteus & any other tradeys brought in were true gents and lovely to have around, our young kids loved them. They kept to budget and timelines. 100% recommend, very skilled and lovely guys!"
"Aidan was extremely helpful throughout - he took the time to measure up carefully, liaise with suppliers and find solutions when faced with an unexpected issue. He was polite, considerate and clear in his communications throughout. We are very happy with the quality of the work and would use him again."

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.
