The whole experience was great. Gary was really knowledgeable and helped bring our ideas in to a practical layout whilst keeping costs down. 

All of his contractors were professional, timely, clean and completed work to an exceptional quality. 

Nothing was too much of an ask and he was really transparent with costs, timelines and limitations of the property/space.

I was really impressed with the work BDS builders carried out for us in our home. Everything was completed to a high quality - building work, plastering, plumbing and tiling. Gary’s communication throughout the work was spot on. I thoroughly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.

Removal of first floor chimney breast and converted bathroom to utility room.

Gary and his team (Phil, Murray, Euan) have provided an exceptional all-round
professional experience during the construction of our house extension in Sunderland. Completed Aug 2025.
The whole experience has been excellent. No problem too tricky to solve.  There has been a dedicated focus on us as customers (and clients), responding to many
difficult asks and building challenges. We would unreservedly recommend Gary and his team for the professional and courteous manner the work has been carried out. Many thanks.

House extension - Sunderland Aug 2025

From start to finish Gary and his team has been professional throughout. They were punctual, hard working and informative of what they were doing. They managed our changing ideas with ease and professionalism. We would highly recommend. We definitly use again.

Highly recommend

We can’t thank BDS enough for our amazing loft conversion. From the first meeting, Gary made everything easy and stress-free. The whole team were friendly, professional, and truly cared about getting every detail right. Communication was brilliant, even sending us updates while we were away. The workmanship is outstanding, and the new space has completely transformed our home. They were tidy, respectful, and a pleasure to have around. We’d 100% recommend BDS – we actually miss them!

2 Bedroom Loft Conversion

This was our second time having Gary and his team at our property. This time we wanted help with a media wall and changes to radiators and internal doors. Gary communicated everything really well to me, arrived when he said he would and advised me promptly of any changes that might be needed. Would highly recommend!!
