Highlights
"Really pleased with the plastering work done for our Kitchen refit, great communication and advice. Will definitely get back in touch for future projects on our house."
"We couldn’t be more pleased with the work carried out by Measure Twice Construction. From start to finish, they were everything you’d hope for in a contractor: trustworthy, punctual, and fairly priced. True to their word, they arrived on time, worked efficiently, and maintained a high standard throughout. The team was polite, clean, and tidy, qualities that make a huge difference when having work done in your home. Measure Twice Construction are a rare find in the building trade: reliable, professional, and genuinely committed to doing things right. A firm to be 100% trusted."
"I recently had my bathroom completely ripped out and renovated by Measure Twice Construction, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. This was my first time hiring and working with a builder, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect—but Harry made the whole experience incredibly smooth from start to finish. From our very first chat, Harry was professional, friendly, and took the time to really understand what I was hoping to achieve. He walked me through the whole process, answered all my (many!) questions, and made me feel totally comfortable and confident in the work"

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 Measure Twice Construction before you contact them.
