Highlights
"MKB quoted and were successful with their quote for a wide range of work, both inside and out. Most of the inside work was carried out before Christmas as promised, leaving the outside work to be completed in the new year. We are really happy with the work so far, as stated, it was timley, high quality and done with a smile. The good communication was also refrshingly welcome. Matt, Nick and Omar were polite, amazing tidy, as unobtrusive as they could be. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a general building and decorating company."
"Great job! Bathroom looks great and very happy with the result. Very helpful and efficient job. Place left clean and tidy. Thanks!"
"My job was underfloor work where it was not possible to be absolutely sure what would need to be until work was underway. within this proviso, I received a clear estimate of the likely cost of the work. Workmen arrived on site at the time arranged each of the 2 days the work took. They were friendly and accommodating. I was more than satisfied by the way the work was carried out and by the standard of the work. I would be happy to recommend MKB to others."

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.
