Highlights
"Megson Construction removed a chimney breast & designed/installed sliding wardrobes/shelving in our master bedroom back in 2024. We were delighted with the work and with the relationship we built up with Simon & Helen then. This time around it was more bespoke installation of sliding wardrobes in our second bedroom. Again - we're delighted with the result. They're complete pros - designing, pricing, sourcing, building and problem solving with complete clarity and confidence. Personable, hardworking, reliable, flexible and people that we now think of less as contractors, but more as friends."

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.
