  An excellent brickwork craftsman

  Posted 23 April

  The job required careful matching of bricks and mortar, and fine workmanship, to fill in a hole that had been made in our conservatory wall. Darren did it so beautifully that I now enjoy challenging visitors to spot where the work was done. He did everything to the highest standard from discussing the job with me before he started, arriving when he said he would and cleaning up afterwards. And all for a fair price. I would definitely ask him to do further jobs when needed, and strongly recommend him to others.

  Installing air bricks and removing debris and render

  Posted 22 April

  I was recommended the honest builder by a friend and I have to say I am glad they did ! Darren was brilliant and provided a quote a week before carrying out work and turned up on time and done a fantastic job , he also included video of the work he carried out at each stage and kept the site spotless. I will be using Darren again for future work and recommending him to friends and family .

  House and chimney repointing with specialist lime mortar

  Posted 22 April

  The work was handled faultlessly in every way. Communication with us was timely and accurate. The subcontractors (scaffolders and roofers) were well managed (including insistence that a roofer was used to replace broken roof tiles that the scaffolders refused to do before the scaffolding was removed). The quality and speed of the work was impressive. Darren took great care to test the mortar choices to make sure the work blended in with the rest of the house. The finished result is first class - we are very happy to recommend this company without hesitation.

  New Patio

  Posted 30 January

  Darren replaced our existing patio adding an oak sleeper retaining wall and moving the steps that run down to the lawn. Darren was reliable, communicative and meticulous in his work. The result looks fantastic and has transformed the area. Darren is everything you want in a tradesmen: he was quick to respond to my initial enquiry, gave a clear and itemised quote (which tallied with the final cost) and kept me informed about each step of the process. The garden, once the work was completed, was left extremely tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend him.​
