Highlights
"S.D.S. transformed what was a large, useless alcove in my hallway into a storage area by constructing a partition with door involving all the carpentry, dry lining and painting necessary. The skills used at each stage were absolutely first class resulting in a top quality job of the first order."
"Prompt return of enquiry, and turned up when they said they would. Nice people."
"S.D.S. Builders and Decorators Hastings Ltd recently decortated our lounge. This is the third job they have done for us and, as previously, they were courteous, reliable and efficient from when they first visited to view the work and prepare their estimate right through to the completion of the work. They arrived to start the work exactly as arranged, the quality of their work was excellent, and the work area was left clean and tidy on completion. We will have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others."

Smart checks
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.
