We used SS Builders to carry out remedial works at one of our properties following a subsidence claim, including a new roof, plastering and full redecoration. From start to finish they were excellent to deal with, professional, reliable and easy to communicate with throughout the project. The standard of workmanship was very high and everything was completed on time as promised. We’re extremely pleased with the finished result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SS Builders to anyone needing quality building work carried out efficiently and to a high standard.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really pleased with the outbuilding SS Builders have just finished in our garden. The team were brilliant from start to finish, really professional, clean, and tidy, and got everything done quicker than we expected. The quality of the work is spot on, and they were great to have around. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone!

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 register
Never 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.
