Highlights
"Fantastic and truly trust company!!"
"Excellent work. Tidy. Efficient."
"Grant was recommended to us while we were having a two-storey extension built, and he has been outstanding from the start. He is reliable, works quickly, and the quality of his brickwork is excellent. He also went above and beyond by helping with other building tasks that weren’t part of his original job, which made a huge difference to our project. Even with bad weather and over the Christmas period, he was always on site keeping everything on track. We would 100% recommend Grant without hesitation."

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.
