10 Repointing house and replacing three lintels
Posted 02 April
Darren did an excellent job and I would recommend 100 percent. The work was carried out very efficiently, arrived on time every morning and everything left tidy at the end of each day. Kept me up to date on progress and gave a very fair quotation.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3110 Darren took up my old driveway and laid down a gravel one
Posted 18 February
Darren was great, quote did not change, he was very professional and each day I returned from work whilst the work was being undertaken my drive was tidy. He explained what he would be doing, when the skip would arrive etc. He undertook the work within the timeframe. Kept in touch with me throughout from my first contact to accepting the quote to confirming the date he would start the work. Would certainly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5110 Install patio.

Posted 05 November 2024
Darren and his colleague completed the repointing of the back wall of my mid terraced house. Work was done in good time and effort was made to clear up the dust each day and at the end. Darren is an experienced, trustworthy and friendly builder who offered a competitive quote. He was able to accommodate my preferred start date and I was kept informed each day while work was being carried out. I would be happy to use the services of The Honest Builder again.Verified reviewerJob location: SO16
