They’re responsive, helpful and they get the job done." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "We are very happy with the service provided by Clarkes of Brighton. We needed a new roof on our 4 bed bungalow and as our daughter had a very positive roofing experience with Clarkes in 2017, we asked them to do the work. All members of the team were professional, polite and friendly. The project manager gave great attention to detail enabling the work to be completed within 2 weeks to a very high standard. Thank you Clarkes of Brighton!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Builder, Concrete contractor, Demolition contractor, Landscaper, Handyman, Roofer, Tiler ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Asphalt Roofing Installation - Asphalt Roofing Repair - Balcony Roofing Installation - Balcony Roofing Repair - Basement / Cellar Conversions - Brick / Concrete Structural Repairs - Car Ports - Chimney Cowlings Installation - Chimney Cowlings Repair - Chimneys Installation - Chimneys Repair - Cladding ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a builder _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - Never 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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07830 353467 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/clarkes-of-brighton Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
