Highlights
"Mark, his colleagues did a fantastic job supporting our chimneys with steel beams as per the structural drawings. They completed the work in just two days, were very professional, polite, and clearly experienced. They gave helpful advice throughout and worked with a great attitude. The quality of work was excellent, and they left everything clean and tidy. Very happy with the outcome – highly recommend them!"
"Fast efficient clean tidy and totally reassuring that everything will be sorted with minimum disruption. I have had these guys build 2 house extensions for me and both times everything went smoothly with no extra costs from the original price quoted. Kitchen and bathrooms fitted too. They always give the best advice and are totally trustworthy."
"We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Mark and Gary. They were absolutely great from start to finish! They did an outstanding job on every aspect of the project, offering valuable advice throughout. Both of them are extremely knowledgeable and bring a wealth of experience. They maintained a high level of professionalism at all times, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with the outcome – thanks to them, we essentially have a brand-new home. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier builders!"

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 M Cole Builders before you contact them.
