“Following the demolition of two Marley garages we were left with a concrete slab and the idea of a garden room. James and his team constructed a wood frame structure split in two for living and for storage. There were different finishes internally, with plaster on the living area and plywood in the storage. Add lights inside and out, double glazed windows and doors, a rubber roof and modern Hardie cladding and the transformation was complete. I can only echo other reviewers comments regarding tidiness, attention to detail and quality of work. I have used Ibuild before, since and will do again”

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

Highlights
“Full communication. Extremely tidy at the end of every day. Friendly. Trustworthy. Attention to detail. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Having previously used James before, we were comfortable in knowing that ibuild were the company to use. James was able to take our very rough idea and design & build a very elegant but practical built in wardrobe. James was able to use his experience to ensure they worked around existing crevices to reduce the cost to us whilst maintaining a high quality finish. James and his team are always tidy and punctual which is critical with a house full of children to work round. We will be back soon to James for further renovations.”

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.
