Darryl and his team did our kitchen extension late 2024. His team did a great job and overcame the unexpected surprises (a hidden chimney breast) during the build without any problems. The team kept up to date with their work plan which they shared and always checked/confirmed what we wanted ordering at each stage of the project. Overall, a fantastic job. Thank you

DLC construction rebuilt my garden walls and a lintel in my dining room. The team are fabulous. Darryl always does a great job, is easy to have around, tidies up after the work, and his quotes are always reasonable. I would highly recommend him.
DLC did our new block paved driveway for us. Did a great job, exactly how we wanted it. Very professional and kept us updated along the way. Highly recommend

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.
