Highlights
"I needed a reliable and trustworthy builder to carry out a total renovation of a house I had just bought. This was a major job lasting approx 4 months and working with Marcus and his team has been a brilliant experience. Everything has been completed exactly as I wanted and Marcus kept me informed at every stage (including when the unforeseen issues arise along the way as always happens with such a major job). It has been a great pleasure to rely on Marcus and his team and I cannot praise him and recommend him more highly. A huge thank you for a job so well done."
"We are very happy with the level of workmanship and professionalism shown by Steele’s Building Contractors. We have already advised our friends to use this company."
"We are so glad we chose Marcus to complete our ground floor extension. He is very professional and kept us up to date with the progress. Marcus was also very efficient, finishing our project quickly but to a high specification. Really pleased with our work and would certainly recommend him to our friends and family."

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.
