Highlights
"Ian Hobbs and son responded quickly, advised us and did the job promptly. Helpful, reasonable price and fast resolution. Thank you"
"Ian and his son did an amazing job rebuilding my wall. Very professional, very friendly. They always turned up if it didn't rain and are one of the nicest guys you can find around. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the job done right at a good price."
"I needed to replace my crumbling steps up to my property as the current slabs and bricks were beyond repair. I contact Ian and he called me straight back and arranged a viewing to see what was required. He was punctual and clearly very knowledgeable and advised me on options. Installation was commissioned a couple of weeks later and he has done a fantastic job. It was a very tricky project as the property had 13 curved steps cutting into an existing brick wall. He was thorough and methodical and he clearly takes pride in his work. I could not be happier with the finished job. Thanks Ian!"

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 Hobbs Building Services before you contact them.
