“We approached OCL on the back of a neighbour's recommendation and we're so pleased we did. They were the sixth set of builders we asked to quote to build our rear and side extension and as soon as we met them, their professionalism, friendliness and flexibility gave them the edge over anyone else. We could tell straight away that they were hard-working, took pride in their work and we wouldn't actually mind them being around for 5 months! We now have a brilliantly built extension which blends beautifully into the original 1930s house thanks to Ollie's eye for design and style. Thank you OCL!”

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.
