We had a pre-visit on site which we discussed what was needed. Some other ideas were put forward and negotiated which helped the builders started prompt at the agreed time and worked through and finished quicker than I personally expected. They cleaned up site each day and at the end of the job the site was left to clean and tidy with the spec arranged as agreed. In view of this, I have agreed some additional works.

Detailed reviews
Excellent communication, friendly and efficient. Work was carried out quickly and cleanly. Would definitely use Church & Newman again if any more work is needed and recommend to others.
The work involved the construction of a multi-room extension to an 1820s building both within a Conservation Area and a challenging environment, this required experience and a depth of knowledge few can offer. The work was completed to the highest standard and we are very happy with the end result. As with any such extension; attention to detail is paramount. This is evident in the finished product..

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.
