“We had the roof removed from an aging conservatory and replaced with a solid roof. The result is quite staggering. Wilbur and Andi were a top team who worked their way through all the problems that this project threw at them. They were friendly and kept us fully updated with progress. From start to finish we were happy with the service offered to us. A good company that I can recommend to anyone looking for an efficient local builder.”

Official checkOn the public register
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 3 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“SBS stripped back our drive to the foundations then levelled it and topped it with Cotswold pebbles. They have also rebuilt the retaining stone wall on one side of the drive. They supplied the digger driver, stone masons and general labour. They removed all waste material and left the site very tidy. The work was completed on schedule and on budget. All users but f the drive are very pleased with the work.”
“SBS were easy to contact, returned calls promptly and were punctual on visits. They advised different options for our floor and answered our questions thoroughly. We are delighted with the new floor - robust, level and beautifully finished. Our house is old with no straight walls so the job wasn’t straightforward but the challenges were met. On site the builders were tidy, respectful and polite. We felt confident leaving them in the house alone. Thank you SBS.”

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.
