Highlights
"Ivan and his team converted our single garage into a fantastic space we plan to use as a home gym, adding insulated walls and a ceiling, plus an insulated loft space for extra storage. They were friendly, professional and delivered exceptional work using top quality materials. Always on time, finished exactly as promised, competitively priced and left the site spotless while respecting our property. Ivan’s communication was outstanding, he answered every question, explained everything clearly, and got back to us instantly. We cannot recommend Ivan enough!"
"Highly recommend. Extremely reliable, came when they said they were coming. Great group of fellas that were polite, professional and responsible in their planning and completion of all the work carried out. Left the place tidier than how they found it. As a single mum with kids at home I felt completely safe and trusted the advice given. Can’t recommend enough. Will be using again for sure."

The company came in and did a good job, very clean and tidy. There was a problem, but he didn’t let it phase him, and he gave good service.

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 IDP Builders before you contact them.
