Highlights
"Excellent service by Shaw and Sons from start to finish, very helpful in giving advice and information. My kitchen was very dysfunctional so it needed redesigning. After lengthy conversations about what I wanted/needed they came up with a fantastic idea to move my kitchen into my dining area at the back of the property a big space which was hardly used. I now have a beautiful open plan living space downstairs together with my dream kitchen. Can’t thank these guys enough for making my dream into a reality. Very professional, helpful and respectful, highly recommend them."
"Richard Shaw and Sons undertook the project of a new bathroom on our property , they carried out the work with great professionalism . The help given in the design/layout of the job the choosing of appliances and furnishing was invaluable and showed in the finished work . The lighting , plumbing works done to a very high standard . Delighted with the job ."
"Father and Son team , Richard and Lewis did an amazing job with our loft conversion . They organised the whole project very efficiently , design , building regulations , electricians . Their communication with us was excellent , we understood the progression of the job . The alteration was perfectly assimilated in the fabric of the house , so that we do not notice the additions ( internally ) . The project was delivered in time and on budget . I recommend Richard Shaw and Son highly , this is the third job with us ."

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.
