Excellent work
We have used Martin for several jobs before and always been extremely happy. We recently engaged Martin to remove old wooden cladding, add insulation and add new cladding. He carried out these works with excellent skill and as unfortunately our house is not built very square Martin had a number of challenges to overcome. He kept us updated throughout the works and we are really pleased with the finished product.Verified reviewerJob location: RG1410 Groundworks

Extending block-paved driveway
Having hired Martin previously for underpinning our extension I had no hesitation in asking him to double the width of our block-paved driveway. Once again I am extremely pleased with the results, it looks fantastic. As well as being a clean and tidy builder, Martin was open to adapting the design so that the end result was exactly what we were looking for. As we have plans for further works for the property we will definitely be contacting Martin and Pentland Building and Groundworks again.Verified reviewerJob location: RG2610 Under Pinning

His knowledge and technical skill is clear which meant that the quality of the work was outstanding, and everything was done with precision and care. What really sets him apart is his friendly, approachable manner. He took the time to explain each step of the process which put me completely at ease throughout the project.
