Universal Building Limited completed our foundations work up to DPC for a wrap around L shaped extension. Mathew was organised, clean, tidy and great at communicating with us. We can not thank him enough for his expertise and professionalism! Would highly recommend his service and will hopefully work with him again.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

From the moment he came to view the job, we took to Matt. He is a great guy. We were contacted quickly with a quote & he had clearly listened to what we wanted. Fast forward 4 months & the agreed date for the job & Matt was reliable & professional. He had good attention to detail, worked hard & was very friendly. We would very much recommend this business!!!
From the time they arrived Matt and Keith were very professional in the way they carried out the work. Nothing was too much trouble for them if we required additional adjustments to what they had already completed. They offered advice where needed and were very easy to get along with. They exceeded our expectations in what they did plus it was also good to see the work area was cleaned up each day before they left. We would have no hesitation in in using Universal Building Contracts for any house related projects we may require in the future.
