Exceptional- highly recommend
The MKS team promised they’d be finished before my birthday and today we’re celebrating in our brand new extension 💖 … Would thoroughly recommend Mike and the gang - all highly professional, very responsive, adaptable & … they stick to deadlines & budgets! MKS started our extension as we had a 3 week old baby and two young children they were very respectful, accommodating and friendly to have in and around the house. We’re all completely thrilled with the work they’ve done and space they’ve created. We’ll miss them all! Thank you xxxxxxJob location: SO2110 Loft Conversions

Highly recommend - five star rating
Outstanding work! From conception through to completion Mike has been fantastic at working with us to help our budget go as far as possible. His expert advice has helped guide us through the build process from recommending and sourcing supplies to putting us in touch with some excellent sub contractors. Always solution focused Mike has kept us well informed every step of the way. A special mention must go to Craig and Joe the carpenters who have been exemplary in all aspects of work, craftsmanship, punctuality and tidy. We are delighted with the end result.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2410 Builder

Quality team.
Excellent team of professional trades folk, Easy to communicate and they deal promptly with any queries we had. We've employed them 5 times with a mix of roofing, demolition, carpentry, brickwork and general site work. Clean and focused team. Professionally quoted prices that stayed within budget. Very easy to recommend for practically anything in the trades. Cheers guys. G.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2010 General Building

Victorian House Renovation
We bought a Victorian house in the New Forest, and it turned out to be in a worse shape than we realised. Finding MKS was great though, they've been really helpful, down to earth and honest. They've stuck to the quoted budget, given really useful advice, and we'd thoroughly recommend them, and will be using them again.Verified reviewerJob location: SP510 Extensions / Conversions

Reliable, trustworthy & brilliant workmanship.
A number of projects with MKS. Top quality work, brilliant knowledge & reliability, and an all round great group of workers. I’d fully trust these with any future project, with the added help and advice given from these, when needed. I’d look no further than these in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: SP610 Builder

Excellent extension, garage conversion and rennovation
Had a rear extension, garage conversion and substantial renovation and changes to existing structure completed by Mike and the team. Cannot praise them highly enough! Completed ahead of time (12 weeks for a planned 16 week project), bang on budget, and excellent quality. Super helpful throughout, offering excellent value and advice, and always willing to talk through and help with decisions with not being pushy - in fact Mike often suggested and sourced a better but cheaper option which kept the same quality whilst helping us achieve our dream build. The wider team were fantastic and equallyVerified reviewerJob location: SO22
