Tell Us What You Want to Achieve

Share the postcode, a short brief and any plans or photos you already have. We aim to respond to every enquiry within one working day with the most useful next step.

2

Site Visit & Project Details

At the property, we look at access, existing conditions and the work shown on your drawings before preparing a clear, itemised quotation.

3

Agreement & Build Plan

Scope, price and programme are agreed in writing before work starts, with payment stages set against the build sequence on building projects.

4

Construction & Progress Updates

Your point of contact coordinates the agreed trades, keeps you informed and records any agreed changes before work proceeds.

5

Snagging, Handover & Aftercare

Work is quality-checked through the build and snagging is completed before the final walkthrough and handover. Building projects under a JCT contract then have a 12-month defects rectification period; smaller jobs, repairs and maintenance call-outs are covered by the written terms on their quotation instead. To report an issue after completion, call Daryl on 01223 650013: it is logged, a visit is agreed and it is put right.

Front and rear extensions with full refurbishment

Very pleased with our renovation. It was a large project and Daryl and his team worked to schedule and completed it to our specification. Any issues along the way were managed and we had daily communication with the team which helped tremendously.
