Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Markham Building Contractors, including the highlights above. The 56 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Nick responded quickly to my garage conversion proposal with a competitive quote, and we quickly were able to discuss the job and agree a date to carry the work out. He and his colleague were both pleasant and punctual on the work days. We ran into some issues around communication, with a misunderstanding of the parameters of the project resulting in an initial mistake with the work. There was also a slight issue afterwards with the finishing of the brickwork, which Nick was happy to come back and rectify. Despite a few setbacks, we are pleased with the final result.

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.
