Kev has been our builder for about 15 years now. My wife found him on Checkatrade and we liked him from our first meeting. I have lost count of the number of projects he has done for us, from installing a window to a full blown demolition and extension build. He has a team of great people he can call on for plastering, plumbing, electrics, carpentry, etc. and they are all really nice people who deliver to very high standards. The thing with Kev, that we have found is that we can give him a vision of what we want doing and he turns it into reality.
What can I say I known Kev as my builder for many years and has done all my work he has built me a fantastic rear and front extension on my bungalow his manner and knowledge during the build has been brilliant I would highly recommemd Kev to anybody
We have worked with Kev for many years and he always does great work. This extension work was no exception. It was built within the 12 weeks stated, it was on budget and the quality of the work is great. Kev made our vision into reality and worked with us to deal with any challenges, of which there weren’t really any! Kev coordinated everything with the plumbers, electrician, joiners and council making everything so much easier for us! Everyone who worked on the job were polite, very skilled and we now have people we will always call in the future.

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.
