Highlights
"Paul and his team have been our builder for over a decade, and in all that time they have remained consistently reliable and professional. Whenever we’ve had an emergency, he’s always managed to fit us in. Most recently, when our boiler was on its last legs, Paul arranged for Neil to come over and replace both the boiler and thermostat quickly. The work was completed in just a day and a half, and we now have a much warmer home with the added convenience of remote control via the Hive thermostat. We couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them."
"We’ve used Hammerton Builder for a number of projects and have been consistently impressed by the quality of work and level of professionalism. Every job has been completed to an exceptional standard, always on time and with great care and attention to detail. The team is reliable, friendly, and incredibly respectful of our home. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and communication is always clear and reassuring. We wouldn’t go anywhere else and can’t recommend them highly enough!"
"Paul arranged for his electrician to add to existing garden lighting. Dan, the electrician took the time to understand the job (replacing some existing bulk head fittings with cast iron feature lighting and relocating the existing bulk head lights into the garden arrangement). Dan did an excellent job, and turned his hand to a couple of lights not working in the house and porch when asked and these are now working again. Paul and his team are extremely knowledgeable and I can't recommend their work highly enough."

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 Hammerton Builders before you contact them.
