Highlights
"Study redecoration, and conservatory conversion into a full extension with integration into dining room and kitchen. Building control oversight and certification included. The work was done to a high standard and with minimal input required from me - Steve and team just got on with it. Inevitable challenges and problems for a job of this size were dealt with efficiently and capably. I'm very happy with the result, and have no hesitation in making a 100% recommendation."
"Steve replaced our soffits and guttering. The work was completed to a very high standard of workmanship and materials with an excellent end result. The site was clean and tidy at the end of each day. We would use Oastview again and recommend them to family and friends."
"A massive thank you to Steve and the team. I just love my new kitchen, from floor to ceiling . An issue with the supplier sending the wrong I Oven,but Steve sorted it out immediately and went and collected it . The suggestion from Steve to change the door so it opens into the hall has made such a difference the kitchen seems so much bigger and makes working in there so much easier. The team were friendly ,got on with the work in a clean and tidy manner."

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.
