Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

Dmitry

Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

These guys were here to re-do my flat roof after a previous bodged job. The quality of the work was excellent and the guys working for this company are second to none. Any issues or changes required were dealt with professionally and quickly. They also built me a bespoke mancave which is absolutely fantastic and done to a high standard. Again, all trades on site were very professional, knowledgeable and worked clean. Highly recommend this company!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mohammed Rafi for my home renovation project, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From the very beginning, Mohammed demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of construction. His attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every phase of the project. He listened carefully to my ideas and offered valuable suggestions that truly enhanced the design. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and it's clear that he takes great pride in his work. Communication with Mohammed was seamless; he kept me updated throughout the project and was always available to address any questions or concerns I had. His team was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean workspace, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Mohammed Rafi, my renovation was completed on time and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled builder. I look forward to working with him again on future projects!

Fired him for appalling work, no-shows and delays; see his other bad reviews. He's a middle man; does not do any work; got others to do it like a plumber, then a tiler the next day; slow work made worse when someone messed up or did not show up. Ali only shows to deliver materials or check work. Quick to reply when wanting the job. Slow/no response once job starts thinking you wont cancel. Materials I paid not returned; take every receipt and check you keep/use every item as he will even for wipes/tape

I appreciate his clear and detailed communication on job needed, options provided, and consulting on fittings and materials.

Had issues with Kris from the beginning. Agreed a quote of £600 for 30 squares. First day came down spent 3 hours and all that was lad was 6squares of underlay . Equipment didn’t work. second day did around 8 squares of laminate flooring was always out at the car. Third day he’d started at 8:30 but at around 10 he started talking about additional costs which he did not raise in the beginning. So I asked him to leave and paid him for work completed. Work ok but slow but would not trust as could cost you.
