Highlights
“Steve and his team did an excellent job on the construction work for our indoor elevator and disability access to front and rear of the property. They were conscientious, tidy, on-time and flexible where our requirements had to be fine-tuned. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The project was completed on-time and budget, and represented good value. Would recommend Steve to others.”
“Work included repairing brickwork and walls, new driveway, converting an existing extension used as storage space to a usable room, new windows, complete strip and refit of kitchen and bathroom including all wiring and plumbing, remove stones around fire place to make more room, new heating system and redecorating throughout. Steve took the time to understand what I wanted and was also able to offer advice where I was not sure or had multiple options. Steve and his team turned up promptly on the first day and got on with it, this continued throughout. I am very pleased with the results, which have transformed the house. Very happy to recommend and would certainly use again myself.”
“Steve completed a rear ground floor extension and 1st floor dormer. Extra works included underfloor heating and patio. Really happy with the work and he has a great team of guys.”

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.
