“I had been planning to convert my garage to include a toilet, utility room and storage area for years and called Greystoke for a quote. I was impressed with their knowledge and advice on how to proceed. Paul and his team are extremely approachable, professional and tidy in their work and worked through every conceivable design problem with ease. They kept me informed at every stage of the conversion and the whole experience was stress free. I have no hesitation in recommending Greystoke Builders to anyone and would like to thank Paul and his team for a superb job.”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 20 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Greystoke Builders have been brilliant to deal with. They repaired a burst pipe in my loft and carried out extensive repairs to the property. They are very knowledgeable and their communication has been excellent. I found the speed and quality of their work to be outstanding and have no hesitation in recommending these guys as they genuinely care, and made what was a stressful time as easy to deal with as possible.”
“For 15 or more years, Paul and his workforce at Greystoke have been maintaining and improving our properties from significant structural changes to minor cosmetic improvements. These have included building a classic wall, constructing a driveway, replacing bathrooms, total replacement of a kitchen with new wiring and plumbing, replacing flooring, painting inside and out and renovating our house's crumbling brick wall. During this time I have had no complaints. Minor snags are dealt with promptly. The workforce is multi-skilled, trustworthy and pleasant to have in the house.”

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.
