    Great job! Professional, trustworthy etc

    Had a flat roof including skylight repaired and replaced. Paul and Kurtis did a great job - really pleased. Very professional and trustworthy. Always left the house clean and tidy and watertight at the end of each day. Would 100% recommend 👍

    Rear extension

    Very helpful and informative at every stage of the extension build. Everything was clarified with me including a staged payment plan before work commenced. A very clean and tidy builder who carried the work out without causing me unnecessary stress. Very reliable.

    Avoid! Ghosted us and never completed promised work!

    Paul quoted us for work in February to change downstairs layout - knocking through kitchen-diner, moving bathroom, etc. We were happy with the quote and agreed June start date. Early June we phone Paul and he says due to holidays and running behind he'll now start end of July. Mid-July we phone Paul again to confirm start date. Then spend a few weeks calling every few days, leaving voicemails, sending texts which we can see have been read. But no answer, so now mid-August we have clearly been ghosted. So now back at square one to find a new contractor, and another long wait for work to start.

    Trustworthy Skilled Builders

    We recently had a single-storey extension built and are absolutely delighted with the result. The team was professional, friendly, and maintained exceptionally high standards throughout the project. Their attention to detail was excellent, and they were very particular about the quality of their work. Any challenges that arose during the build were handled professionally, with practical solutions always found. The finished extension has exceeded our expectations, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy builder. A fantastic
