Finished properly.

What we do

Big job or small job — pick your size

Repairs & the odd job

The ones nobody else will turn out for. Booked in, done in a morning, gone.

  • Doors, handles, latches, shelves
  • Curtain rails and pictures hung
  • Flat pack furniture built
Priced online, no visit needed See small jobs

Where a job needs a certified electrician or plumber, we bring in trades we have used for years and manage them ourselves. One firm, every trade, one price.

What will it cost? Have a look before you ring.

Our online estimator prices small and medium jobs on the same labour rates and materials allowances we quote from. No details needed, no sign-up.

Why us

Hiring a builder shouldn't feel like a gamble

Everyone has heard the story about the builder who took the deposit and disappeared. Here is exactly how we work, so you can judge us before you commit to anything.

We turn up when we say

A start date is agreed in writing and we work to it. If something moves — weather, materials, building control — you hear it from us first, not after the fact.

Fixed price, itemised

Your quote breaks down labour, materials and timescales. No day-rate creep and no "while we were in there" invoices at the end.

Staged payments

You pay against completed stages, not up front. Nobody should be asked to hand over thousands before a wall is touched.

Paperwork handled

Building regulations, structural calculations and building control inspections arranged and dealt with as part of the job.

References, gladly

Ask and we will give you addresses of recent work locally and the customers' numbers. Go and look at it.

Guaranteed for 12 months

If something fails because of how we fitted it, we come back and put it right at no cost for a full year. We are local, and small jobs later on get the same attention as the big one.

How it works

From first call to final sign-off

01

Tell us what you need

Ring, or send the form with a few details. For small jobs you can price it yourself online first and skip straight to booking.

02

Free site visit

We come out at a time that suits, measure up, talk through options and flag anything that will affect cost — drains, levels, structure, access.

03

Written fixed-price quote

An itemised quote with a realistic programme, usually within a few days. No pressure and no obligation.

04

Dates, drawings and approvals

Start date confirmed, materials ordered, and any building control or structural work arranged before we break ground.

05

Build, with weekly updates

Site kept tidy and secure, neighbours considered, and a straight answer every week on where the job is against the programme.

06

Sign-off and guarantee

We walk the job with you, fix the snag list, clear the site and hand over certificates and product warranties. Your 12-month workmanship guarantee starts here.

Recent work

The proof is on the ground

Real jobs, our own photographs. Where we have the before shot as well, it's next to the after — because on a lot of this work the before is the reason someone picked up the phone.

Draughty window heads insulated and boarded

Plastic fascia and soffit had been run out over the top of the windows after the brickwork above them was taken away — nothing to fix the window heads to, no insulation, and a draught coming straight through the trim in two bedrooms. Putting that back as it should be means scaffold, stripping the roof, new lintels and brickwork, so we agreed a warm, sealed fix from inside: 100mm insulation over the window, new timber to fix to, 9mm plasterboard, taped and jointed.

Garage roof stripped and re-sheeted

Holes right through the old corrugated sheeting. Before anything came off we had the sheets checked and confirmed as not asbestos — then stripped the roof, put additional purlins in to carry the new sheeting, re-sheeted, and closed the corrugations at the eaves with foam fillers. With the roof off, the cladding at the back was clearly past it, so that was replaced as well.

Checking us out

Go and look at the work

The best way to judge a builder isn't a quote they've typed onto their own website. It's a finished job, and the person who paid for it.

Ask us and we will give you:

  • Addresses of recent work near you, so you can drive past and look at it
  • The names and numbers of those customers, so you can ring and ask what we were like
  • Our insurance certificate, before you commit to anything
No builder who does good work minds being checked on.
