Highlights
"Matt and his team at MJS Construction completed an extension to our property. The work was completed on time. We are very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend them. They were always on time and worked well together as a team. The site was kept tidy and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend them."
"Matt and Team, clearly quoted works and completed it professionally and swiftly. As a labour only task, Matt provided support with materials to ensure the job was completed without issue."
"Matt and his team are super lovely from start to finish. All lovely to have around your home and great workmanship too. They have done 2 jobs for us now and we have recommended them. Fire doors on a 3 storey building and a new porch/decoration. They genuinely care which is a rarity."

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.
