  • New garden wall and general building works

    10Verified Review

    Since first using Darren in 2016 for a complex extension, he and his team continue to impress with this recent job. Hard-working, meticulous, proactive, reliable, thorough and tidy, with boundless energy and enthusiasm. Excellent work and, as always, a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

  • Brick driveway repair

    10Verified Review

    The work requested was completed exactly as required. Darren’s eye for detail, and perfectionist approach meant he left the site in a perfect condition. The work was all completed within the estimated time, allowing Darren to fix some minor faults in our property, and still allow him to give us a discount on the estimate. We are already planning our next project for Darren.

  • Extension to listed building

    10Verified Review

    Darren and Josh were absolutely fantastic. The project was pretty complicated as the finished product had to be sympathetic to the historic building. The workmanship and care that Darren put in was really unlike anything that I have experienced on a building project before - and I have been involved in my fair share of projects! Inevitably when working with an older property - problems arose as the project progressed - but Darren always had a pragmatic way forward - and kept me informed throughout. Can't recommend highly enough.

  • Various works needed in the garden - fencing that was broken, re pointing some brickwork

    10Verified Review

    We have used Darren several times for various works on our property. As always, Darren’s work was exemplary, fulfilling the brief given to him, and even going beyond the request by fixing a little wooden shed. Darren is a perfectionist, and this is reflected in the work he does. At the end of the job, he said it had gone quicker than he expected and he proposed to knock a substantial amount off the final bill.

  • Side and rear extension

    10Verified Review

In the last 20 years I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge about bricklaying and general building, but also plastering, groundworks, bathroom tiling, painting, flooring and roofing. If I can't do it myself, I'll know someone who can help me do the job. Located in Ashford, I do jobs all over Kent.

I love putting creativity into my brickwork/work and can bring to life any design in mind. The gallery provides examples of jobs I have completed and how they were created.
