“We approached a number of builders for a quotation. Tatum were one of only three who responded with a quotation and follow up call. The figure was slightly larger than we anticipated (though not the £20k higher a large company put forward), but Tatum met with us and we agreed ways of meeting our target without compromising quality or the overall feel of the build. We agreed a price and a start date. They were on site every day during the ten week build, everything happened according to schedule and within budget. Very impressed and would recommend highly.”

Highlights
“From the initial visit to scope the project through to the build itself, Tatum builders have been fantastic. Taking on a derelict, dilapidated heritage property was a huge undertaking, and I could not be happier with the result. Always polite, courteous, and incredibly hard working, the team communicated well, keeping me in the loop throughout. My home needed a complete rework, rewiring, re-plumbing and extending. From liaising with planners, architects & structural engineers to building the extension, the team made sure every detail was carefully considered, clearly taking pride in their work”
“Great communication from start to finish, fair competitive price. Alex, Kane and mat did a great job in the timeframe given. Would highly recommend and will definitely have them back for more work in the future.”

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.
