10 Rear extension
Posted 5 days ago
Darryl and his team did our kitchen extension late 2024. His team did a great job and overcame the unexpected surprises (a hidden chimney breast) during the build without any problems. The team kept up to date with their work plan which they shared and always checked/confirmed what we wanted ordering at each stage of the project. Overall, a fantastic job. Thank youVerified reviewerJob location: BN2010 Good work from an honest builder

DLC construction rebuilt my garden walls and a lintel in my dining room. The team are fabulous. Darryl always does a great job, is easy to have around, tidies up after the work, and his quotes are always reasonable. I would highly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: BN227.33 Great new extension project
Posted 25 January
Job location: BN22We had a ground floor extension built by DLC in 2021. Considering the scale and complexity, we ended up with a lovely new living space,patio and garden area. We were really pleased with our outcome. The initial quote was also really reasonable. Whilst stressful at times,the builder worked closely with us throughout the project with a good work ethic and he helped work through and discuss with us any challenges, changes or compromises especially given supply chain challenges just post pandemic. Great job!10 Block pave driveway

Posted 22 January
Job location: BN20Darryl and his team came over and stripped out our old kitchen, plastered, painted and put in a new one. In addition the flooring and electrics were carried out too. His team were polite and courteous throughout the the whole process and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team to anyone else who requires a similar project.10 Summer House / Garden Room Build
Posted 21 January
We used Darryl’s firm to build a Summer House/Garden Room along with some associated hard landscaping. The whole team were professional and friendly and the unit was built to the timescales and budget agreed prior to the work commencing. We have since recommend him to friends.Verified reviewerJob location: BN20
