“Dean is an exceptionally experienced builder - very skilled, exacting and professional. He rendered our exterior front wall, arriving early and working non stop. He works quietly, cleanly and efficiently and produced a fabulous, faultless end result. We won’t hesitate to employ him again, and have already recommended him.”

Highlights
“we initially asked Dean to repair/replace the render on the outside of our Bungalow which we were moving in to. Dean's work was excellent, really good quality. As time progressed, other jobs needed doing - laying wooden flooring, repair front door, and replacing garage surround. Dean carried out all this work excellently. At all times, Dean was professional, polite and courteous. I would definitely recommend him.”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for DSB Building Services, including the highlights above. The 33 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Our experience of DSB was awful. Poor workmanship, poor time keeping, poor communication and had to remove DSB due to being over 10 months late with not one room complete. We have tried contacting direct but to no avail. Formal complaint now also being raised through CheckaTrade. How he has treated myself and young family is awful. All our savings were used and DSB owes a lot of money due to not completing the works despite being paid up front for large elements due to demands made once the works had started.

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.
