Highlights
"Ricky and Lou from LF contractors were lovely, right from offering me intial advice to completion of the project. Their work was excellent and of a high standard. They were respectful of my home and always very clean and tidy. The quote was accurate and I felt reasonably priced. They kept me informed of the progress and the work was completed on time, nothing was to much trouble. Would highly recommend."
"I had the Cura’s in recently to put a steel in and open up my kitchen, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out. They were brilliant from start to finish — really friendly, turned up when they said they would, and kept everything tidy throughout the job.The work itself is spot on. The new space feels so much bigger and brighter, and you’d never know there used to be a wall there!they took care of everything, from fitting the steel to making sure the finish was perfectThe difference in space is amazing I would recommend these builders to anyone there were just amazing!"
"Very happy with building works provided by L F Contracts. Job was completed quickly and efficiently and we would not hesitate to use this firm again or recommend to others. In fact we have already requested a quote for another job at our house!"

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.
