Highlights
"Rob and his team have completed many projects for us over the years and always to a very high standard. Our most recent project was a new garden wall, patio and decking. We are delighted with the end result. Rob, seems to be able to turn his hand to any project and not only gets the job done but also has great design ideas. He is a pleasure to have around and we trust him 100% and would recommend him to anyone."
"Rob and team were excellent. They were always on time, worked hard and considerate in my home. Communication was excellent and the work was finished on time to an excellent quality. Thank you Rob and team for a brilliant job."
"The work which RD Builders completed on our property was of a very high standard. The people doing the work were polite, friendly, respectful, reliable and trustworthy. They cleared up really well after the work each day. They gave us realistic deadlines, even when an extension of time was later needed. I would recommend them to anyone."

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.
