Highlights
"Gary and Dan were brilliant from the outset! We were given a Gantt chart with details and timelines of all the events to take place, and introduced to any new tradesperson that would be working at the property. Any issues or potential issues were flagged in advance so we knew what to expect and they also managed all communications with building regs reducing any additional admin on our side. Quality of work was brilliant and they were very amenable to any changes or additions we wanted to make. Thank you both!"
"We’ve used GD Properties twice now, this time for some structural changes, a full kitchen fit, and a new bathroom — and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The team was reliable, professional, and very knowledgable. They kept us in the loop the whole way through, were always on time, and take pride in their work. The finish is top-quality and exactly what we were hoping for. We’ve already recommended them to all our friends and genuinely wouldn’t use anyone else."
"Dan did a great job replacing my kitchen, ceiling, flooring, new windows and door and underfloor heating. Always arrived on time, worked hard and answered any questions I had. Always left things clean and tidy. Great workmanship."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Garydan Properties Ltd before you contact them.
