Andy and Jason were great from start to finish. They read the description of the work that was needed and unlike some other companies they came to have a look at what needed doing and offered advice on the best way forward. Their quote was competitive and the standard of their work was excellent. They turned up when they said they would and the work was completed on time. If we need any more work doing in the future we would definitely use them again. They have experience of smaller building jobs ranging right up to large building projects.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Summit & Shore Builders, including the highlights above. The 8 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Andy and Jason started Stage 1 of our garden alterations in the summer. They took our ideas of what we would like and came back with their plan. It was ideal, just what we wanted including a new patio, new lawn and raised beds to help us as we are not getting any younger! Any changes that they felt would improve Stage 1 was discussed with us for approval. Stage 2 started and finished last week with one area made slightly higher, one of the raised beds increased in height and sleepers put around our soft fruit patch which matches the raised bed. We cannot fault their work at all.
Andy and Jason worked on our Grade 2 listed property over summer 2025. Both punctual, polite and trustworthy - and hard-working. Work involved repairs and exterior painting, plus construction of a drainage channel and repairs to a cob built chimney. They were able to solve problems that arose, and keep us fully informed of costs. Would employ again and would recommend.

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.
