Highlights
"I contacted Michael about turning part of our garage into a utility room - he was so speedy at communicating with me, and accommodating of my many questions and worries. The quote was good value and the work was of a really high standard! I liked that it's a family business, with Michael's son Lee doing a lot of the work. He cleared up after himself every day and was great at letting me know what would be happening and when. I couldn't be more pleased to be honest! Definitely wouldn't use another builder now I've found them. Professional, reliable, honest and very hardworking! 5 stars."
"I'm very grateful to Lee and Michael for their work rebuilding a rear porch with staircase, together with roofing, fencing and rendering works. Communication was always prompt and helpful and they were both really considerate whilst working, much appreciated. Highly recommended."
"Michael and Lee carried out building work in our kitchen, blocking an outside door and fitting a RSJ. Always arrived promptly and left every day after clearing up. Great guys, trustworthy and reliable. I highly recommend them for any building works you may have."

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.
