Highlights
"I used MJ Builders for some general building work, including laying of a porcelain patio, size 4m x 5m. I paid a total of £6500 and found the service and quality of work to be faultless. All work was completed in a timely fashion and within the budget quoted. Friendly and professional service and would thoroughly recommend"
"Good communication via message prior to acceptance of job. They arrived punctually on agreed date, and work was completed to a good standard in very little time. Upon completion of requested plaster patch, they advised proper steps for both curing and painting prep prior to accepting payment and leaving."
"Couldn't fault them. Quality of workmanship excellent. Worked on the job as if they were working on their own house. Any problems cropping up were discussed. Always arrived on time and worked hard throughout the day with only a small lunch break. Always cheerful. Cleared up every day after themselves. Happy for the job to be changed or added to as the need arose. Reasonable price. Would recommend them every time."

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 J Builders before you contact them.
