Highlights
"We have recently moved and we needed some structural alterations. Stillwell building completed this to a high standard, they were very efficient, courteous and completed the job in the agreed time."
"We had issues with the extension floor done by the previous owners of the house. The Stillwell team came for an assessment and generated a quote. All the communication was very clear, and the price was fair. They worked on time, fast and clean. They engaged with us, showing what was wrong and explaining in detail what was needed to repair and replace the stills. They had specialists who could come and support specific phases, too. The job was concluded before the estimated time and with top quality. They were very polite and friendly at all times."
"Thank you Lee and team for all your hard work. The patio is looking great, the finish is brilliant. The workers were professional and always on time working to a high standard and were very nice to have about the place."

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.
