Highlights
"Excellent work all round. Very pleasant people to deal with. Honest and reliable."
"Rob and his team have been with us for the last four months undertaking a major refurbishment of our newly purchased property. Work has included extension and sunroom, converting garage into utility room, cloakroom and bedroom. Rob has been on site throughout making sure that work was on schedule. We are extremely pleased with the quality and the way the work was carried out. The team have always been respectful and thoughtful regarding our privacy during this very stressful period."
"Very pleased with R B Building Services. The access to our property is challenging at best with a steep hill and narrow lane but it was managed with very little fuss. The quality of the work is exceptional - very precise and just what we had asked for but better than imagined - a lot of faced stonework which looks amazing. I would thoroughly recommend R B Building Services and have in fact to a few acquaintances."

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.
