Highlights

"From start to finish, the workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail were spot on. The garage has been completely transformed into a beautiful, practical living space, finished to a very high standard. The kitchen extension has exceeded our expectations — the layout, build quality, and fitted kitchen are all exceptional. Everything was well planned, clearly explained, and delivered on time. Rich and the team were reliable, tidy and respectful of our home throughout the project, and communication was excellent a We would highly recommend Rich to anyone considering a building project."

"Richard was excellent, I had my en-suite taken out and his service was top class. He tidied up after himself every day and done a first class job. Would highly recommend and will use him again 😊"

"Rich did a full bathroom rip out and install. Brilliant job and worked around us while we were renovating the rest of the house so not easy. Really fair price too, would highly recommend."

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.
