Highlights
"Great plastering work by Matt. Second set of plastering he has done for us. High standard, punctual , polite and tidy. Will definitely use him again"
"This is the second time I have used MLW to carry out works within my property. Brilliant from start to finish. All works completed on time and to a high standard."
"We required a builder as needed a wall removed in our kitchen. They came out and gave us all the information which we required prior to deciding to knock the wall down. They gave us a very reasonable quote and they were given the job. They arrived on time on the scheduled date and worked extremely well knocking down the wall. I found them to be very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and hard working. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for building services and I will use them again. Thank you"

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.
