    Exceptional work by a great professional

    We found Dennis through our neighbours, who had previously used him and were very happy with his work. After seeing the quality of their project, we asked Dennis to carry out a kitchen extension and a full renovation of the downstairs of our home. The work included the kitchen extension, a new downstairs W/C, new flooring and a complete refurbishment of the ground floor. Dennis and his team were professional, reliable and easy to deal with throughout the whole project. Communication was excellent, the work was well organised, and the quality of the finish was very high. Dennis was always app

    10/10 Dormer loft conversion

    Had a full dormer loft conversion completed by Dennis & team at Pukka Builders. Dennis was recommended to us by our architect, and after meeting him and discussing the project, we decided to go ahead. I'm very glad we did. From the very beginning , Dennis and his team were professional, organised, hardworking and respectful to our family home. The transformation has been incredible. What was once an unused space has now become a two spacious double bedroom and bathroom, giving our family so much more room without moving home. The dormer itself looks fantastic and the workmanship is amazing.

    Top quality refurbishment

    The team recently completed a full kitchen ad bathroom refurbishment for us, and we are very delighted with the results. Dennis is very transparent, knowledgeable, and highly professional. He kept us informed throughout the project, offered honest advice, and delivered everything to a very high standard. I cannot fault him or his team as they truly provide top quality workmanship. The team worked around our busy family schedule and were reliable, polite, respectful and very clean. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pukka builders to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled building company.

    Reliable and thorough contractor!

    We have worked with Dennis and his team at Pukka Builders over the last couple of years. He has supported us with various jobs throughout our home both big and small. No job is too much for Dennis and team! He is very thorough and caring when he does any work (we have a little one) and ensures he gets the right team on the job and always cleans up after the work each day. Dennis and team continue to be our contractor of choice and we will continue to use him for any future project. Thank you Pukka Builders!

    Wondrous kitchen renovation

    Dennis and his team have done an exceptional job renovating our kitchen - showing a level of conscientiousness and assiduousness that surpassed even our high expectations (they came family recommended from my sister's kitchen project). Despite having a small space, our Wren kitchen was complex. Dennis project managed everything to perfection and was very solutions orientated when encountering challenges (e.g. pipes that Wren hadn't measured and accounted for in the units etc.) We were also right to trust his design recommendations for quartz upstands and finishes. A trustworthy, caring talent.
