Highlights
"We have employed Thomas of TGC twice now. The initial appointment was to carry out a complex lower ground exaction/conversion of an old bunker to turn into a habitable space in our flat, including excavation, waterproofing, new services thru to final finishes. We chose Tom following a recommendation from a local architect and we were not disappointed. The 2nd project was new hardscaping an planters to the garden, plus decorating services internally. Tom is hard working, communicative and easy to deal with. Any snags were dealt with immediately and without complaint. Totally recommend !"
"We employed Tom and his team to carry out our garage conversion project. Tom and Kieran were very friendly and worked with us to achieve the finished space. Would happily recommend TGC and use again for future projects."

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 TGC before you contact them.
