10 Knock doorway from kitchen to garage
Posted 19 November 2024
Darren did a great job! He was prompt, knowledgable and explained exactly what was involved. He tidied up any mess and kept us informed as to what he’d done and when he’d be back to finish the job. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants work done.Verified reviewerJob location: TA1110 Major renovation works to old stone house
Posted 09 October 2024
Darren and his team have been a godsend in terms of fixing damp problems and issues with a house that was derelict for 4 years. Work was swift, effective and good value. Communication was excellent in terms of both work issues and curtesy. I have no reservations in recommending Darren, Jim and George. They worked for over four months and I am booking them back for a bathroom refit.Verified reviewerJob location: BA610 Large kitchen extension and significant hard landscapung

Job location: TA10Darren and his team, George and Jim, today left our property for the final time. They started in October, battling incessant rain, to build for us a large kitchen/dining room extension on the rear of our bungalow in Hambridge. The project continued into complete transformation of our back garden. The rain persisted, but they cleared and totally landscaped a large area of what had been an overgrown jungle of foliage. Inside and outside look amazing, and really need to be seen to be appreciated. They were brilliant to have on site and we would not hesitate to recommend them.10 Kitchen/Dining Room extension
Posted 03 February 2024
We are nearing the end of a sizeable rear extension to our bungalow in Hambridge. Darren and his team - George and Jim - have been completely honourable and trustworthy throughout the build. We gave Darren a brief, he set to work, co-ordinated the necessary trades, and the result is amazing. Really decent people to have on site - we shall miss them when they're gone!Verified reviewerJob location: TA1010 Wall ties and building works for oil tank removal
Posted 06 October 2023
We were in a very long and drawn out purchase of a property which was becoming very painful. Thank goodness we found Darren as he was able to get a very complicated gable wall secured on an old thatched cottage that helped us get nearer to completion. At the eleventh hour we needed an oil tank moved to complete, Darren rang us when hearing about it and managed to sort out a replacement within 48hrs. To say we were grateful is an understatement! We have a big renovation ahead of us and would not consider anyone else!Verified reviewerJob location: BA410 Removal of inner wall
Posted 12 March 2023
Darren and his team removed a load bearing wall in our kitchen, and installed a steel beam to replace it. All the work was carried out efficiently and extremely tidily, with Darren keeping us updated throughout. We're delighted with the work and would recommend his services unreservedly!Verified reviewerJob location: BA99.75 Install interior porch door, make new doorway in sitting room, install kitchenette including sink.

I contacted a number of builders via Checkatrade in the spring about a few jobs at our new property, but hardly any of them replied. Darren was responsive and easy to deal with. He scheduled the most urgent job to suit us at fairly short notice after we'd moved in. He and his team are friendly and helpful, and their work is of a great standard. They also completed a couple of small extra jobs while they were here by installling hand rails for my elderly dad.Verified reviewerJob location: TA1010 To open up a fireplace

This is the 2nd time Darren and his team have done some work on our house and I really cannot praise them all enough for the standard of workmanship, kindness and helpfulness. We will continue to call upon Darren regarding future work to our house next year.Verified reviewerJob location: TA1010 Making a doorway from kitchen to dinning room
Posted 06 May 2022
Darren has jus finished putting a doorway in for us between our kitchen and dining room, a messy job that was very well contained and inconvenience kept to a minimum. Darren and co are all very friendly, knowledgeable and excellent tradesmen. They were prompt and arrived when they said, the work was completed in excellent time also. We would wholeheartedly recommend their services for anyone wanting a small or large job - we have them on call for our next run of work including plastering, general kitchen/bathroom work and anything else we decide to do.Verified reviewerJob location: TA1010 Kitchen Extension
