Highlights
"I can recommend Chris and his team without any hesitation I’ve never been able to do this for any builder before. One time, immaculate, excellent communication and listened to what I wanted. Helpful suggestions - everything you would want. Brandon who worked for him was equally great."
"Excellent attention to detail, complied with all building inspectors requirements, never attempted to take shortcuts. Made appropriate suggestions when required, always listened to what we wanted. All subcontractors used were equally as efficient as their own employees, who were always very polite and friendly. They achieved what we required to finally make our garden one level by building a good support wall and concrete path around the extension and block paving the front garden and driveway making sure all water drained away safely. We would recommend this company to anyone."

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.
