These guys were amazing in every way and the nicest genuine people. They removed a very large tree for me after I was let down by another contractor. Communication was 10/10, clearly very experienced in their field. Fast workers and they left the site soo tidy too. The price was really reasonable for the work involved and I couldn’t be more happy with the result. As a single lady I was apprehensive about everything involved, especially the cost but I’m so pleased that I picked the best contractor. I don’t often write reviews but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. 10/10 for these guys ! Thank you so much.

I had Base Contractors in for quite a big project, reducing two large trees that had grown huge and wildly out of control. As well as growing into one another, hey had also became entangled with blackberry and dog rose brambles and the whole area was just a big mess. William did an extremely thorough job in cutting the trees right down to size, and clearing the whole area. I really appreciate his attention to detail, even down to cleaning the footpath and agreeing to clear the brambles on my neighbours’ side of the fence (my neighbour commented that he was also very impressed with the high standard of work) I will definitely be using Base Contractors again in future (my neighbour said the same) and would highly recommend them.
We hired Base Contractors for a waste removal job and had a great experience. They offered a fair quote, arrived on time, and got the work done quickly and without any issues. They are reliable and easy to work with.
Absolutely amazing highly recommend. Excellent time keeping and he did an excellent job and a very tidy worker . Thank you

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
