A written quote
Itemised by stage, so you can see what each part costs and take anything out.
A start date we keep
And a call the moment anything threatens it.
One person to ring
The same name from the quote to the last snag on the list.
Cleared up daily
Dust sheets down, tools away, and the site swept before we leave.

Most of what makes building work painful is not the work — it is not knowing what is happening, what it will cost, or when anybody is coming back. We fix that part first.
We take on what we can do properly with the people we have, which is why we sometimes say no. It is also why the jobs we take finish.
Your Business Name
How a job runs
From the first visit to the day we hand back the keys, you know what is happening and what comes next.
- Step 1
Site visit
We come and look, measure, and listen to what you want at the end of it.
- Step 2
Written quote
A price broken down by stage, with materials, labour, skips and what is not included.
- Step 3
Start date
Booked, with the order of trades and who will be on site each week.
- Step 4
First fix
The work that disappears behind the walls: structure, pipework, cabling, insulation.
- Step 5
Second fix and finishing
Plaster, screed, tiling, doors, sockets, paint — the part you can see.
- Step 6
Handover
We walk it with you, write the snag list, and put right everything on it.
What we do
Extensions
From the first drawing to the last coat of paint, managed as one job.
Renovations
Whole houses and flats brought up to standard, room by room or all at once.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Ripped out, rebuilt and finished, with the trades booked in the right order.
Structural work
Walls opened up, steels sized and fitted, and the calculations done before anything comes out.
Brickwork and blockwork
New walls, openings, repairs and repointing.
Plastering and plasterboard
Walls and ceilings left flat, which is harder than it sounds.
Floors and screed
Levelled, insulated and laid ready for whatever goes on top.
Tiling
Bathrooms, kitchens and floors, set out so the cuts land where nobody sees them.
Damp and waterproofing
Tanking, membranes and getting water away from the building rather than around it.
Insulation and render
External wall insulation and render systems, done as a system rather than in parts.
Roofs and gutters
Repairs and replacements, and an honest look before either.
Outside
Patios, paths, walls and drainage that takes water away from the house.
Small jobs
The ones other firms will not come out for, done in a morning.

How soon can you start?
Tell us what it is and roughly when you want it. We will give you an honest date, including if that date is months away.
How do you price work?
We come and look, then send an itemised quote. Anything unforeseen is discussed and agreed in writing before it is done.
Do I pay a deposit?
For work with materials to buy, yes — and you get a schedule of payments in writing, tied to stages rather than dates.
Can I live in the house while you work?
Often, and we will tell you honestly which weeks are bearable and which are not. Water and power off are planned, not sprung on you.
Do you clear up?
Every day, and properly at the end. Skips and disposal are in the quote.
What about permissions and inspections?
We will tell you what your job needs and work with whoever you are using, or recommend somebody.
