    Excellent workmanship

    We had a chimney stack removed. From the onset Steve responded quickly and was friendly and professional. He was able to give a rough estimate on the day and quickly sent a written quotation. Steve also arranged the scaffolding to be erected and liaised with them making the whole process trouble free. Work was carried out by his sons who were very pleasant hardworking guys. They were respectful of our property taking care to protect it from damage. The workmanship was excellent and carried out in a timely manner and a fair price. We highly recommend this company .

    Roofing Repairs

    Posted 14 June

    Good job - good communication - reliable (removal of chimney)

    Steve took down and roofed over a disused chimney that was causing significant damp in one of our bedrooms. He and his colleagues were reliable, communicated well, and they did a good job. Sam in particular went the extra mile making sure that we were happy with everything. We would recommend, and would use Steve and co again.

    Brick / Concrete Structural Repairs

    Posted 05 June

    Seemingly honest, reliable and polite family business. Would use again.

    Had a lintel put above upstairs window, Scaffolders that I'm told they often use were pleasant people and made sure to cap all contact points with drive and house wall. Had three builders working here over two days from this family business, all polite and considerate.. very approachable if you don't use builders much. Had a slight niggle with the work, but they had a good attitude about it and were happy to spend more time in the same day to help resolve. Swept up and left in tidy state. Wish I didn't have to got through checkatrade to find these guys, would definitely use again.

    Rear kitchen extension

    Steve & the team carried out a rear kitchen extension and various other bits of work for me. Everyone involved was really friendly, helpful and considerate. I’m really pleased with the result and would not hesitate to use Steve again or recommend him to others.

    General Building

    Posted 19 December 2025

    General renovation and removal of internal supporting wall. Replacement of windows and doors.

    Dialogue was very easy. Communicated clearly and promptly. Supplied quotes and updated when required. We requested more work to be done than originally quoted and they were flexible. Worked well and interfaced with other trades. Could be relied upon, a responsible & trustworthy builder.
