Highlights
"Murray and his team have done a brilliant job for us . We have a grade 2 listed property so we have to be careful what we do.We needed the chimneys reconditioning and pointing and tiles replacing. He managed to source exactly the right tiles too :)) Murray was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about what we could and couldn’t do . From the very first meeting he has kept us informed of the progress with photographs etc . He’s been a real pleasure to deal with . We would highly recommend him for any building work . His pricing is very fair too. :))"
"Very pleased with the work carried out by Murray and Luke. Excellent communication from start to finish - friendly, polite and professional. Works to the drive involved modifying the top end and widening the drainage channel in order to stop water flowing from the lane into the drive - all very neatly done. The other works to the house exterior and patio were also carried out with excellent care and attention. They made sure everything was neat and tidy afterwards, with things put back in their place where I wanted them. Will be using Murray and team again for other works in the future."
"Excellent decorating skills. Nothing too much trouble."

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.
