Highlights
"Kevin and Scott did a fantastic job building my mother a new porch and part of her kitchen. My elderly mother was reluctant to have tradesman in her house but Kevin and Scott made the process very easy from design to completion. We could not recommend them enough."
"I wanted French patio doors replacing with half low wall and half window onto my garden. TPS have designed, supplied and fitted the new wall and windows. The new external wall is an exact match and neatly pointed so you would know it was new. The inside is fully finished, boarded, plastered and painted to match the inside, everything looks like it had always been there. I am so pleased with the results as it is better than what I had wanted."
"Removal and rebuild of external brick staircase to back door onto kitchen from garden. All work carried out to an exceptional standard, neat, clean, tidy and completed on schedule and at the agreed price. Could not have asked for a better service from the team, looking forward to working with them again"

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.
