Highlights
“Superb results from McKays Building Services today, who completed some permanent posts, erected for me to mount some new signage too. Showed up on time, all equipment for the job ready to go, worked quickly and efficiently, and even left the area in a tidier state than it was to begin with. Will be working with them again for any further work I have in this area.”
“Ben and the team refurbished our garage. That including replacing the roof; building a new garage door, wall, counter and shelving; replacing another door; electrics and lights; painting; fixing the wall, and a lot of other bits. It was a fantastic experience. The team, including the specialist trades, were all, skilled, punctual, tidy and efficient. They made sure they knew what we wanted to achieve and delivered it. They stuck to the budget and when we asked for additions Ben made sure we all knew what it would cost. Couldn't be happier and would definitely use them again.”
“I had a bedroom ceiling plastered, the guys were great. They did a great job. Am really pleased with the work carried out. Arrived on time, cleared up and even cleaned the walls down after. Certainly would recommend this team. Very polite and professional while in my home. Thanks guys 🙏”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
