Highlights
"I felt in safe hands from the itemised quote from Katie to the outstanding work of Henry and Pacey. What a team! From the beginning I received great advice regarding significant damp in my kitchen wall. A portion of rendering was removed from the bottom of the external wall, which was then damp proofed, and a tile overhang was installed on the roof. A three-tonged approach! The work was completed to a high standard and I couldn't be happier. These guys are professional, friendly and informative. They are an absolute pleasure to have around and I have no concerns recommending them."
"Excellent communication from Katie on what was needed from us, the home owners at each stage of the project. Harry and Pacey were polite and friendly, working efficiently to get the job done within the week's time frame that was given. Harry was quick to find solutions to all the unexpected problems throughout the job to keep things on track without compromising the integrity of the work."
"Harry, Katie, and Pacey did an outstanding job on our kitchen extension. The work was completed on time, on budget, and to an excellent standard. They are genuinely nice people who go out of their way to help, and we completely trusted them with our home and keys. Reliable, professional, and trustworthy — we couldn’t recommend them more."

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.
