Highlights
"I highly recommend SD Construction for anyone looking for a building company for an extension, or any other building works. The quote I received was competitive, and all the work carried out has been to a high standard. Communication has been excellent, from regular updates, to giving advice regarding choices needing to be made. I was amazed with how neat and tidy the building site was kept, with everything left organised and clear, ready for the next day. All work was completed on (or ahead of) schedule, with minimal disruption. All in all, a skilled, friendly and reliable team."
"I couldn't be happier with all the first fix works (carpentry, plumbing, electrics and dry lining) completed by the team at SD Construction. From start to finish, every aspect has been completed to a high standard, including electrical work that wasn't initially quoted for but was felt would be beneficial, which it has been. I have been fully informed of all works at every stage - communication has been excellent. Attention to detail has been second to none, works completed on (or ahead of) schedule and the site has been kept immaculately neat and tidy throughout. Highly recommended."
"After completing our extension in 2017 we approached SD Construction again for a relatively small but complicated piece of internal builders work. This involved removing a brickwork wall, reconfiguring heating pipework, building a new studwork pipe duct and replastering. Seymor co-ordinated all the required trades and the work was carried out in a very timely and professional manner. From our initial enquiry to completion of the work our experience has been excellent."

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.
