Highlights
"Gavin and his team were fantastic. I had 2 separate pieces of work completed. A decking replacement and a garden tidy up (hedges trimmed back). They were always on time, professional, and left everything very tired after each day. Really pleased with the work and will definitely have them back to do any further works."
"Gavin and his team gave done several things for me over the years, including my driveway, digging electrical cable trenches after the fit, working alongside other teams in the build such as irrigation team, not forgetting their highly skilled and professional groundsmen doing paving, walling and fencing as easily as a kid eats cake."
"The guys cut back overhanging trees and trimmed a tricky round laurel tree. They kindly fitted us in at short notice, took everything away, leaving the garden tidier than before, and were a very reasonable price. Highly recommended."

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.
