    Brick / Concrete Structural Repairs

    Posted 1 week ago

    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.

    Dormer / Roof Windows

    Posted 02 December 2025

    Quality Dormer Repair and Cladding Installation

    SDT Builders responded quickly to my Checkatrade job request visiting the property that same afternoon. A quote was issued for the replacement of cement rendering to rear dormers with weatherproof cladding. The job required erection of scaffold which the contractor arranged and was included in the quote. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently. The contractor was always friendly and updated me daily. When completed the scaffold was quickly removed, the site was cleaned and any damaged roofing slates replaced. I would recommend SDT builders for future roofing work.
