10 Highly recommended DLR SOUTHERN CONSTRUCTION LTD
Posted 17 September
DLR Construction Ltd have carried out works on a number of properties under my management, acting on behalf of landlords. Their estimates have always been professional, clear, and comprehensive. The works were consistently completed to a high standard and within the agreed timescales. I would have no hesitation in recommending DLR Construction Ltd for both commercial and residential projects. Thank you for providing an excellent and reliable service.Verified reviewerJob location: GU35Response from DLR Southern Construction LTD

10 Review of Phase 1 of complex construction project
Posted 11 September
Our garden project was divided into four phases. Following the success of Phase 1, we engaged Luke for Phase 2 without seeking other quotes. This review covers Phase 1 only, as later phases are still underway. Luke visited in April 2025 to quote for a bespoke patio extension of approximately 100 square metres. The sloped terrain presented challenges, but he offered practical design ideas that helped refine our plans. We quickly agreed on a solution that balanced cost and quality. The completed patio integrates well with the landscape, and we’re very pleased with the result.Verified reviewerJob location: SO51 - AAndy P

Luke and his team carried out works doing footings and building a retaining wall and steps. They were reliable and done the work in good time. Top quality job! And really pleased with what they did.

Had sandstone paving slabs in back garden with drainage to allow swimming pool water to drain. Cutting into small areas was exceptionally high standard (you get what you pay for). Prepped underground making a deep hole with pipework and drainage. Emptied and moved my shed to remove stones replacing with intricate cutting. Had a trampoline which they placed in front garden daily popping it back into back garden to secure. Had access to my house securing it daily whilst l was away for a week. Their van broke down with a clutch issue yet workers still got into work ensuring had all supplies too.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3010 Garden wall
