Detailed reviews
Excellent service. Work to a high standard. Flexible to change plans as building work progressed.
During the initial consultation Zac listened to what we wanted to achieve and then provided useful advice. When it came to completing the work I found Broad Builders to be quick and efficient with such attention to detail that the outcome surpassed my expectations. Broad Builders has the rare combination of being able to carry out the practical work to the highest standard as well as project manage effectively. An excellent craftsman, Zac takes a real pride in his work. It has been a joy to find a building company who are both highly capable and 110% reliable and trustworthy.

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.
