Highlights
"Can't recommend M Ireland Builders highly enough ! Mick responded quickly on Checkatrade, called to view the job when he said he would & provided a quote the same day with a courtesy call to check i received it. The quote was a good price, so Mick got to work the following week. The job took 3 visits, & Mick left the property clean & tidy after each visit. I don't live locally to the property, so Mick sent me photos of the work done each day. He was a pleasure to deal with, helpful, friendly & very reliable. Job was exactly what we wanted & exceeded our expectations"
"First class work and service."
"Mick has just completed the driveway at the front of our house and done a great job. We were quite specific about we wanted but he’s pulled it off perfectly despite asking him to work with materials he hadnt used before. If you want a tradesman who does that rare thing of turning up each day, answers his phone and keeps you in the loop, Mick is your man. PS, Mick likes green tea 🍵"

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?
