Highlights
"Garrie was great from the quote to the end of the building work. He fitted the job in to suit our timings and provided advice before the work started and throughout the job. He was able to manage the project with other work that needed doing along the way but he stuck to his quote and fair price for the job. The brick work of some windows that were blocked up was done to a very high standard and a steal beam was installed very quickly and neatly for the initial knock through. We would recommend Garrie and his team and would use again in the future."
"Carbon Construction has just completed a difficult build to create a large open plan kitchen/diner for us. Works included a single storey rear extension, installation of structural steels, removal of wall between existing kitchen and dining room and the rear wall of the house. Garrie gave great advice and showed real patience and understanding when we decided to have our structural calcs redone (for a third time!) after he had started the build. We are very pleased with the results of Garrie's work, and now have the room we had imagined from the beginning of this project."
"Garrie and his team were wonderful, and I am so pleased that I found him on Checkatrade. He took care to explain how the work would progress at every stage and introduced us to each specialist as they arrived to do their expert bit. They were all very helpful and courteous and worked very, very neatly. The attention to detail was very good, and the work was carried out to high quality. The financial aspects and the costings of the extras could have been a bit clearer, but again, Garrie was happy to discuss all aspects and was flexible. Would use again! Thanks, Garrie!"

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.
