Highlights
"We needed ongoing TLC to our home and he was recommended. We started off with a small job so we could get a sense of each other. Then another larger job and now (to us) a major job. We are so impressed with his advice, workmanship, tidiness and courtesy and carrying out extra minor jobs that needed tweaking that I have no hesitation in writing this recommendation"
"Conscientious, Hard Working, Committed. This is the only way to describe Pat & Bradley. The workmanship is exceptional, the quality of work outstanding. Walls taken down, beams installed, vaulted ceiling, Velux windows installed internal walls all plastered ready to paint. A superb job highly recommend. Thank you Pat & Brad we have exactly what we wanted."
"An excellent building duo of father and son who built a kitchen extension and a bedroom & shower room extension in two contracts of about 4 months each. They dealt with all building skills except installing plumbing and electrics. The senior, Patrick, dealt with all building regulation requirements without a fuss, including installing a rainwater soakaway required by the control officer, which unexpectedly encountered next-door’s gas pipe and water pipe. Time keeping was excellent with no sense of disappearing to another job. Invoices were submitted on a fortnightly basis in arrears."

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.
