"New full driveway installed, including wall and footings. James and Chris were very clear about the process, understood what was needed to to the job and the team worked hard to achieve the finished project.

"I own a business premises and needed the car park redone. I wanted someone professional, who gets the job done and reasonably priced. And this company ticked all them boxes. James was very polite and professional and straight to the point. His employees where efficient and thorough and all got on with the job in hand. They have done an excellent job on my car park and was only there for a short time. I am very pleased with the work and will be using James and his team again in the future on my house. I have also recommended them to family and friends."

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.
