Highlights
"Guy is very professional and manages multiple build sites effectively, regularly checking progress and assigning others to assist when needed. Guy’s team are highly skilled and worked long days to ensure all work was completed to a very high standard. Special recognition to Richard as the on-site lead who worked on all aspects of the conservatory roof change from start to finish. GRL replaced a 20-year-old conservatory roof and in so doing provided a much-needed update to the property. A big thanks to everyone at GRL. We are very happy with GRL and would highly recommend GRL to others."
"Totally professional. Guy and his team of skilled builders did a fantastic job. It was like having friends around to do the work. Very relaxed natured but at the same time 100% reliable and keen to advise if anything was needed to be changed.we had a conservatory bricked up and a medium sized extension added. I'd definitely recommend to friends and family. Worked all day in the heat good banter and exceptionally clean and security contious when left unattended due to our work commitments. We actually miss the guys being here. Thanks so much. If you are reading this then use them."
"We couldn’t be happier with our single-storey rear extension. From start to finish the team went above and beyond. Communication was excellent throughout, and everyone was friendly, considerate and respectful of our home and neighbours. The quality of workmanship is outstanding and the finished extension has exceeded our expectations. We’re absolutely delighted with the result and would highly recommend them."

Smart checks
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.
