Highlights
"All the groundworks for the connection of a 3-phase electricity supply for electric car charging. It was quite a difficult job involving: - • the lifting of pavement bricks • the use of a manual-held jackhammer so as not to damage other underground pipes • the movement of shrubs and plants • the laying of a duct with a drawstring • excavation of a manhole to create sufficient space for the connection • construction of a concrete plinth for the box that houses the electricity meters • physical presence on-site to assist the Distribution Network Operator (“DNO”) on the date of the connection."
"I had Paul and his team build an garden room and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I found them to be polite young men and very attentive towards details. Throughout the build I was happy with their commitment to getting the job done to my requirements. I would highly recommend Squires Builders to anyone in need of work."
"Excellent job from start to finish. Great team."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Squires before you contact them.
