Highlights
"Would definitely recommend. Hard working, great communication at all times. Turned up on time. Great price compared to other builders. Polite and cleaned up after a days work, 10/10"
"The team started on repointing my newly purchased house which was very tired looking. Went on to give my back garden a total makeover, the old scrappy garden was transformed with the level of tile/paving done. I am very happy with the work done,I added jobs along the way and everything was completed."
"Excellent communication throughout. Friendly and helpful professional. I would definitely book him again. I was not as specific enough in my instructions so we missed some attention to detail. But that is a learning for me. Job completed in a timely and satisfactory way. Reliable grafters are hard to find. I feel grateful."

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?
