Highlights
“From quote to a finished exterior, Karl and his team have kept me update and involved on all decisions relating to how I wanted my home to look. They've worked hard through some pretty relentless weather and finished the exterior quickly but to a high standard. I would highly recommend Karl and his team.”
“Karl and the lads completed a range of work at my house including replacing joists, damp proofing and fitting a kitchen. Communication was efficient, work was done quickly, especially as it was the lead up to Xmas and nothing was too much. Very fairly priced and would highly recommend for any work needed!”
“Reached out to K A metcalfe building a couple of weeks ago regarding some structural work, Karl arranged to visit site a couple of days later. After talking through the require work Karl put me in touch with and architect who drew up the plan and submitted this to building control. Given the green light a couple of days later Karl and his team began work putting in the steel bean and demolishing the current wall. Finished the job in two days removing the rubbish and leaving a great open plan space. Very happy with the finish and value for money. Will be using them again.”

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.
