Highlights
“We have used A1 before. They work to a high standard and completed the job within a good timeframe. They fitted steels, rewired new kitchen and did a fantastic job laying the new large floor area. They repainted the whole area and all of the downstairs. They are an outstanding team and highly recommend them”
“I am writing to recommend A1 Building Contracts following their successful completion for a second project for our company. Project 2 involved constructing a new toilet area to accommodate our expanding workforce. This required the removal of an existing kitchenette to make space for the facilities. As a company, we are immensely satisfied with the outcome this project. A1 Building Contractors has once again proven to be a reliable and trustworthy partner. I recommend A1 Building Contractors to any person or organisation seeking top-tier building services. Thank you to Ash and his team!”
“We had a great experience with A1 for our new patio. Ash came out to quote and we agreed a price and contract easily. Bobby from BD Groundworks ran the project and they worked really hard every day - through a heat wave, rain and unexpected problems that only came up once they were unearthed. Paul, Adam and Leigh were lovely guys and did a great job for us, they were very polite and respectful of our property. Ash did the rendering which finished off the project beautifully. We are so happy with the patio and can’t wait for the warmer weather to get out and enjoy it.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
