Highlights

"Fit concrete spur to repair fence - really reliable, friendly and communicative"

Elkie OCheckatrade5.0 rating

"We love Darren and his team, as do most of our street. He’s been to us twice now, first to replace storm damaged fencing and then to renew some broken down trellis panels. He’s reliable, friendly, and communicates quickly and well. And once the job was done they left everything neat and tidy."

Smart checks

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?
