Excellent job, very pleased.
Once again we had Island builders back to replace our drive we must say outstanding workmanship clean professional and punctual and love our drive our property has been transformed over the years by Island builders
Once again a excellent job done by Ray and his team, I would trust Ray’s experience and quality of work for any jobs that need to be done inside or outside he is reliable, trustworthy and his workmanship is outstanding, Ray has fitted a Kitchen in our bungalow, outside he has layed ceramic tiles and in the last couple of weeks has removed a wall and rebuilt a brick raised flower bed and put up new fence posts and panels then installed grey bamboo screening, all work is done to a very high standard, I would not hesitate in recommending Island Building and landscaping.
Could not recommend highly enough absolutely ray & his team are first class
Extremely pleased with the porcelain patio and screen fencing installed by Ray and his team. Very professional, friendly and helpful service from start to finish. Very clean and meticulous attention to detail, nothing was too much trouble and accommodated a couple of additional things with a smile. Would thoroughly recommend.

We have used Island Building and landscaping for several jobs now and recommended them to others. Their work today has been of excellent quality as always and they are hard working, polite and friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company
I had a new Patio laid. Island Building have done a fantastic job. Nothing was too much trouble and I would 100% recommend.
From first contact to completion they could not have been more helpful, explaining what would be done and listening to my requirements. Will be my first call for the next work I need doing.
Second time I’ve used these guys always come when they say they will very professional friendly lads and great at what they do
Ray and his team are professional and work to a very high standard. I have been impressed with the way Ray has responded to my initial request for a quote through to completion of the work. Our new garden wall looks fabulous and they even made a small gate for me to fit into the wall to keep my tortoise safe! I highly recommend them and shall definitely be using them again.
Ray and the lads worked hard to achieve the look we wanted in the garden. They all were very polite and left the garden looking great
Very happy with the work that Ray and his team completed for me in August . A very good standard of work . Ray and his team take great pride in their work . Ray fully Understood my ideas he also gave some good suggestions. Would highly recommend!
My back garden was transformed from an untidy mess into a low maintenance high quality space. They worked very hard for the entire time they were and kept me well informed as to what they were doing Great value for money Highly recommend

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.

Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
