Highlights
"The team have now completed our electrics, plumbing and floor screed as part of a major renovation and everything was well planned, high quality finishes and we are very pleased with the result. One of the aspects that really stood out was how they supported us while still living in the house with our kids. They went above and beyond to coordinate the wprks around us, helping us maintain safe and comfortable conditions and working hard to keep disruption to a minimum. We would happily use their services again and highly recommend Unique Construction for your projects."
"Chris and team have done an excellent job completing all the skirting boards and hanging the doors ready for carpet to be laid down."
"Chris and his team built a two storey extension for me which nearly doubled the size of the house and massively improved the living space, adding a separate self-contained annexe with bedroom, ensuite bathroom and living area plus another bedroom above. The work was done to a very high standard and the whole team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would not hesitate to use Unique Construction for another project."

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.
