“We recently had a basement conversion and kitchen refurbishment that included taking a wall out. Oakley Builders did all the structural work and project managed the rest of the work. From the start we liked Dean. His communication was excellent, him and his team are all personable, trustworthy and really hard working. All the other tradespeople Dean uses were also brilliant, which made the whole experience a really positive one. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, all the work has been to a really high standard. I would 100% use Oakley Builders again and definitely recommend them.”

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.
