Highlights
"Good and reliable. Very helpful in planning the required works. High quality finish and nothing left outstanding. Particularly good at liaising by message and email as we lived a considerable distance from property. At short notice managed to bring forward finish time by 2 weeks when new tenant unexpectedly asked to start tenancy early. Thoroughly recommended."
"Mark led a skilled team of specialists and in-house trades. Some delays experienced due to extreme weather but excellent communication meant that we were always kept appraised. Fabulous work quality and excellent at keeping the site and inside works clean and tidy. Would highly recommend."
"Marben carried out some further work on our bungalow, including drying out and re-fixing floor tiles and plinths. The work was carried out on time, was very good quality and was in accordance with the estimate. I was kept informed of progress throughout and have no hesitation in recommending the firm."

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.
