Highlights
“We had a wonderful experience working with Set Square. From start to finish, Ryan’s standard of work was excellent. Despite setbacks beyond anyone’s control (unexpected sewer pipes) the project was finished ahead of time and in budget, all thanks to his exceptionally hard work. Ryan and his team are incredibly tidy and made sure everything was left in a safe condition which was very much appreciated with a baby and a toddler in the house. Ryan never made me feel like my 10000 questions annoyed him, he is incredibly professional. We are thrilled with how the extension looks.”
“We had the best experience with Set Square, who carried out work on a two storey extension for us. They were extremely professional, friendly and carried out the work efficiently, yet to a very high standard. It really helped us that the work of all other trades people was managed by them, this was absolutely seamless too. Thank you so much to the whole team - we could not have asked for more! If you are looking for builders, these are your guys!”

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.
