Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

Old front porch removed and a completely new porch created and installed, removal of wooden cladding from the front of house and replaced with tiles. The quote was very reasonable, Keith and his team produced a great quality porch. They were always punctual, treated my property with respect and were always open to discuss issues and changes. They completed the job in the time and price quoted. Many neighbours have commented on the quality of the finished porch. Highly recommended

A nice guy, who did the job, but I was glad to see leave!Substantially under estatimated the time the job would take. Despite being home, he made poor decisions without communicating with me e..g. initially fitted handrails stupidly , intended on leaving base of initial hadraill, left bricks on drive (despite advising him of attempted break in) expected me to get rid of waste, asked4payment mid way through (an intended 2 day job). Asked for more money after job was done, despite agreeing the price at outset

Highly recommend Ben for plumbing and rendering work! He did a fantastic job — everything was completed to a high standard, on time, and within budget. Very honest, easy to communicate with, and offered practical solutions without upselling. His pricing was fair and transparent, and the quality of work speaks for itself. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and skilled these days — will definitely be using him again!

Reviewed by Mick on 28/10/2025

Andrew is a nice guy and does quality work, but for kitchen tiling I am afraid to say is very slow; approx 4 tiles per hour (100x200mm) or 0.8 sq m a day (10 hours). I personally (a diy'er) can do 15 tiles an hour - i.e. 4 times faster. £250 at day is expensive. (My electrician is £175 a day) I ended up capping the job at £600 and decided to complete tiling and grouting myself after 3 days. I would not have hired Andrew if I knew he was this slow and as a result expensive.
