“We recently had a house extension completed by S&B Builders and from start to finish we had nothing but a brilliant experience with them. They met us a few times before the work so that we could get to know them, hear about their experience and discuss the timeline of expected work. During the extension they were meticulous, hard-working and our neighbours even commented on how tidy they kept the surrounding areas. They’re also a genuinely nice bunch of guys, which made the building work more manageable. We’re incredibly happy with the results and would 100% recommend”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Exceptional service and quality from Sam & Ben. They managed our extension from start to finish, and have finished everything to an incredibly high standard. Finding a good builder is difficult but SB Builders made the whole thing feel easy. They have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure we are happy, and we can’t fault their professionalism or their work.”
“SB did a great job of our single storey side extension on our bungalow. Could not fault them at all from day one till finish! They were fast and tidy at getting the job done, very trust worthy as we left them a key whilst at work all week. They did everything to a high standard and nothing was too much trouble. We got 3 quotes from a few different builders but so glad we decided to go with SB In the end, the quality of their work beat our expectations. Definitely recommend you won’t be disappointed!”

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.

Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
