They don't just do a great job, they're a pleasure to have around, always cleared up at the end of each day and I was happy to leave them to it when I had to go out to work or for any other reason. I was especially grateful that they alerted me to a gable end that was clearly in need of attention and was impressed with how quickly the necessary work was carried out." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "R Squibb and his team are a great old school type builder that can be trusted to do a great job. I have used them before for work on our current house which they did a fantastic job of. So they where my 1st call when I needed work on a new project they we are going to live in. They did a large garage extension among many other major bits of work. and when ever I have a new idea they worked with me to understand what I was trying to do and priced the work prompt. The advice for all of the ream was good and helpful. but in particular From Chris (Rons Son) and Adam (Rons Brother)." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "After a fire in my mothers back garden which caused a lot of damage and very stressful R Squibb cleared and rebuilt in record time, Workmen were very good and friendly, also trustworthy as considering my mother is 92 and obviously unsure when strangers are about. Did an excellent job and my Mother is very pleased" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Builder, Handyman ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Basement / Cellar Conversions - Brick / Concrete Structural Repairs - Concrete Garages - Extensions / Conversions - Fire and Flood Renovation - Foundations - Garage Conversions - General Building - Loft Conversions - New Builds - Partition Walls - Project Management ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a builder _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - Never 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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07426 948389 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/r-squibb-building-contractors-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
