Highlights
"When Damien came to quote he gave me some ideas I hadn't thought of. Even when I changed my mind over something it wasn't a problem. The quote was very competitive and outlined the work in detail. Damien and Cameron worked hard over 4 days in freezing weather to prepare and lay a 35ft x 10ft concrete base. Their experience was obvious. They were friendly, polite and professional. I am delighted with their work and the concrete base. I would recommend them to you and if I need anything else done, they will be the first people that I will call. Thank you."
"I wanted a space in the garden separate to the house to relax and entertain in. I have previously used R.A.L.D for a garage conversion and called them back for this job. I didn’t know what I wanted so gave Damien free rein to design and build the garden room, which turned out better than I could have ever expected. The work team were always extremely polite, on time and hard working making sure to complete the project on time and to a high standard. Would definitely recommend this company and will use them for any future builds I need."
"Good finish of the job, good communication about which days they would turn up. Damien communicated with building control which took the weight off me. Sub contractors done a good job as well. Left the drive free of building materials and mess. Really happy with the work, would recommend"

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.
