“RM General Building demolished our old utility room and built a full‑width rear timber‑framed extension. They managed the entire project professionally, kept us fully informed, and involved us in every decision. Their recommendations were clear and helpful, and they were flexible with any small changes we requested. All waste was removed promptly, the site stayed tidy, and the workmanship is excellent. We’re delighted with the final result, which has transformed our home, and we would confidently recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”

Highlights
“Efficient and good quality work done at quite short notice. Easy to deal with and good communication throughout the job”
“We originally agreed to two weeks (ish) of work to renovate our 1850s cottage. This included altering the position of walls, repairing damaged walls and re-doing a cloakroom. However, we were so impressed with the standard of their work, work ethic and reliability we soon extended the scope to also include replacing windows and doors, laying flooring, fencing, and building a summer house. They are coming back to do more work for us. I cannot recommend RM builders highly enough - nice to have around, get on with the job and to a fantastic standard. We won’t use any other builders.”

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.
