Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

Excellent work. Chris and Paul have replaced a lintel that a previous builder had put in and done it to very low standard. I’m pleased with the result now. Highly recommended, and I would certainly use their services again.

We hired Phil for the above Job. He was the only builder who did not just suggest tearing down my porch amd rebuilding. He came up with a solution that was not only cost effective but with the least disruption too. Phil answered any queries we had, he was polite, reliable and extremely professional at all times! He kept me informed of each step he did, explaining and was a very tidy tradesman. I would reccomend Phill to anyone that needs work done and will definitely use him again. Thanks so much.
