Dwp general builders are an incredible company. The quality of their work is second to none. They are happy to go the extra mile and not cut corners. I can't rate them highly enough. Many thanks for there work.
Completely re built large raised patio, new sleeper walls, levelling of area, gravel riverside area created, new turf, using large 900 x 600 porcelain tiles, made new and fresh a really old tired area into a fabulous outside space, a lot of work undertaken to replace new for old, worked extremely hard every day they were here. Nothing too much trouble, and a very creative team, full of talent. This was David's 4th Job for us, highly recommend him and his team.

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.
