Highlights
"Dave carried out the reconstruction of our roof, with the addition of a new rear dormer with windows and door onto a roof terrace. The two existing bedrooms on that floor were fully refurbished with fitted wardrobes added. The work was carried out to a very high standard, for a reasonable cost and with excellent communication. Dave organised several different sub contractors very efficiently and was extremely considerate to our neighbours. The project was finished on time and in time for Christmas! I recommend F Searle Builders 100%."
"Dave & Alfie did an outstanding job; our full kitchen renovation looks incredible. They were professional, efficient, and hardworking, yet also approachable and consultative, which was invaluable for our first renovation. They tackled the tricky quirks of a Victorian property with ease, from awkward dimensions and uneven levels to resolving difficult disputes with our structural engineer, who wrongly assumed the wall was load-bearing. It wasn’t and they removed it with an unbelievably clean finish. Respectful, reliable and highly skilled, these lads will definitely be back for future projects."
"Dave and his team installed an air conditioning unit in the bedroom at the top of my house. The room had become unbearably hot in the summer. They put the unit out of sight in and on the roof and put a grille in the ceiling which is hardly noticeable. Now the room is lovely and cool in the summer but can also be heated with the unit in the winter so we no longer have radiators in this room. Really happy with it!"

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.
