Highlights
“I recently had the services of Geoff and his builders and was extremely satisfied with the experience. Geoff and his team were very friendly and always cleaned up at the end of the day, which was impressive. They were also very efficient, completing the work very quickly, and their communication was always excellent. I felt they had great respect for my property. Overall, a truly first-class service I would highly recommend”
“Diggins transformed our small galley kitchen into a bright kitchen diner, added a stud wall upstairs to create a new room, removed a fireplace, and completed full plastering, decorating, and new flooring throughout. From the start they showed real interest in our plans and offered thoughtful input. Workmanship is outstanding, and the team were professional, punctual, tidy, and considerate with a baby at home. Communication was excellent and they were always approachable. Highly recommended for quality and reliability.”
“Great guys to work with. Good communication and just really friendly and courteous all the time. They installed a vented pitched roof on top of a (constantly failing) flat roof, installed by different contractors some years back. They also re-painted the entire kitchen-lounge area at the end. Great value for money, considering that the solution required some imaginative carpentry to accommodate 3x new Velux windows in a pitched roof which now sit above the window voids from the flat roof. Would use again and highly recommend. Thanks so much guys!”

Worth checking yourself

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.
