Verified by CheckatradeDrainage and Pointing work to House
The work was completed on time and to a high standard. They always communicated what was happening and contacted us after the work was completed to ask if we were happy with the work done. Will certainly use them again and highly recommended for all types of building work. Brilliant guys.
Verified by CheckatradeCompletely new bathroom. Wall moved. Also loft ladder installed.
A separate toilet was moved into the bathroom- 2 walls taken down to accommodate a large shower. The whole bathroom was re fitted completely to take into account potential future disability. As usual the boys did a great job. The workmanship was to normal high standards, and any arising building problems were addressed with good humour. They kept us informed at all stages of the project. They also sourced and fitted a suitable loft ladder which we are very happy with. They are the cleanest, tidiest builders to have in your home. We would thoroughly recommended this company.
Verified by CheckatradeNew front door - door step and path repair resurfaced
We were very pleased with Adam and James quality of work, which was challenged with a tricky front door removal and replacement, due to close electrical mains board. Very reasonably priced, friendly, punctual and informative of work to be undertaken throughout. Would definitely approach again for future house projects.
Verified by CheckatradeInstallation of fence and laying of patio in the garden
Excellent workmanship, always punctual. Professional, reliable and trustworthy. Ready to please and explain issues. Very clean and tidy. Definitely be using them for works in the future.

Adam and James did an excellent job, from design, demolish, build and finish with our rear extension, including managing trades to support the build. Throughout the work they kept us informed of progress, decision thats needed to be made and deadlines - making them great to work with. Throughout the build they gave options of extra things we could have and cost implications with no expectation that we had to have them done. This including having a new bathroom which we are delighted with! In addition they built an amazing decking and hard landscaped the garden. We would highly recommend them!

Adam and James are reliable builders; they are also polite and a pleasure to have around. We have no hesitation in recommending them; their work is to a high standard and they don't push their prices up. They did an extension on our house and some rendering work (and our bathroom) and we were so pleased that a couple of years later (now) we have had them back to renovate our garage.
Verified by Checkatrade
This job was a major extension of our house. James and Adam made the 4 months fun and exciting as they ripped half the house down. We had an idea of what we wanted but the boys gave us ideas and solutions we would never have thought of as the work progressed. The workmanship was excellent with a good eye for detail. They cleared up every night and did not jump to other jobs. Communication was excellent and the brothers were unfailingly polite and cheerful. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any job, large or small.
Verified by CheckatradeChange garage door and improved ramp entrance.
Adam and James did a first class job improving access to our garage by replacing the concrete ramp, removing old up-and-over door and frame and fitting new sectional door. Friendly and helpful, arrived on time and cleaned up at the end of each day. Would recommend and will definitely use again.

They were brilliant. Polite, efficient and timely. They happily worked round our dog. The quality of work was excellent. It’s like having a new floor. I would unreservedly recommend them based on the work done for us.

Adam did an excellent job (as usual) providing and fitting these two doors. Will definitely use again and would recommend to anyone.

Very nice people, extremely hard working and very good workmanship. I was kept informed throughout the job exactly what they were doing. I would thoroughly recommend these two brothers to any one who required building works to be done.
