Highlights
"Steve was punctual and professional, thorough and well researched (re regulations). The brickwork is beautifully done and he was really tidy and clean with regards to the rest of the house. Highly recommended."
"Steve is a top bloke, really knows his stuff and really open & honest. After about 15 mins of starting the work Steve found issues created by previous tradespersons and immediately tried to resolve it by asking another of his tradesperson friends to sort what wasn’t his speciality We also had an issue after Steve’s work (not his fault) which he sorted the next day with zero fuss and professionalism All very tidy and clean - just a nice guy to deal with so look no further if you need this type of work carried out"
"We recently used S.O Brickwork & Groundwork for a knock-through, steel installation, and to build a porch and we’re really pleased with the result. The team were reliable, tidy, and clearly knew what they were doing. The structural work was done to a high standard, and everything felt well-organised from start to finish. They stuck to the timeline and kept us informed throughout the job. The porch looks great and has really improved the front of our home. We’d definitely recommend S.O Brickwork & Groundwork to anyone looking for quality work and a team you can trust."

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.
