Highlights
"Ricky and his team built an extension to the rear of my property, enlarging the Kitchen/Diner. The work completed was to a very high standard, all plans adhered to and even proposing improvements. The team were very organised, hard working and extremely punctual every day. Great communication on a daily basis, every detail of the Architects drawings were examined and the build went according to plan and all timescales met. I cannot recommend Griggs Builders Ltd highly enough, I would have no hesitation in recommending them when building work is required. Thank you very much."
"Excellent work all completed on time and as expected would definitely recommend and will be using again in the future."
"Griggs builders very reliable and speedy professional service, exceeding my expectations."

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 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
