Highlights
“Excellent Builders! Brilliant experience from start to finish. Simon, Dan and the team were reliable, skilled, and delivered high-quality work on time and within budget. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Simon and his team have completed our extension and garage conversion as well as fitting our new kitchen. We are more than pleased with the result. All the team were very friendly, professional and hardworking, they kept the place clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble even when I asked for a few extra things to be done. Simon kept us informed every stage of the build and let us know when each trade would be attending. I would certainly call Simon and his team if we ever needed any future jobs doing and would not hesitate in recommending them.”

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.
