Highlights
"Darren recently completed a courtyard garden project for us which involved removing and rebuilding a rear wall, installing a channel drain, levelling the ground and laying a new porcelain tile patio in a diamond layout. He was professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. He provided great advice throughout which helped us in making the final decisions. The quality of his work was of an high standard. We’re really pleased with the results and would definitely recommend Darren to anyone looking for a skilled, friendly and trustworthy builder."
"We're really pleased with the fantastic job GRH Builders have done repointing and repairing various areas of external brickwork and repairing/rebuilding our garden steps. The results look amazing, and Darren's professionalism, considerateness and attention to detail were second to none. We've already requested a quote for a second project and will definitely be recommending GRH Builders to family and friends. Thank you, Darren!"
"My old drive was very worn and had weeds growing through. Darren was punctual and organised as usual and I am extremely pleased with the result. It took him just over 5 days from ripping up the old bricks, laying a sound foundation and laying and fixing the new slabs. Darren has done loads of work for me and I am always delighted with the results."

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?
