Highlights
"Fitted a new kitchen. It wasn't straightforward but Danny's perseverance and attention to detail was absolutely brilliant. Communication was also excellent. I would highly recommend."
"Cannot fault anything! Have been working with these guys on multiple projects for 20 years."
"Danny came and looked at the space for fitted wardrobes, asked me about the look and storage I wanted and designed the perfect combination of hanging space and shelves for me. He and Jim then built them with no problems and cleaning up as they went. Danny even came back twice to remove and rehang the doors to make painting them easier for me. They were both highly skilled, completely reliable and lovely people to have in my house. I cannot recommend them 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.
