Extensions- 23 Jul 2013
I hired SBS to build my utility room extension and new rear patio as they were local builders and their estimate was by far the most detailed that I received and very competitive. Before work began, construction and payment schedules were agreed with Lee and my designer so that the whole process began on time and was largely completed on time (8 weeks) and to estimate (other than extras I requested during construction). The finish is excellent, not surprising as all the subcontractors were established local tradesman. Lee and Aaron were great to work with, kept me informed on progress and importantly, I was able to leave them in charge when away. Can fully recommend SBS for other jobs.

Conversions - General- 30 Jun 2020
Unfortunately we can’t recommend Terry Collins (Collins Brickwork & Builders). Collins Brickwork & Builders quote didn’t include the cost for a toilet door or the hanging of it So had to pay Extra for that? Slow process on the job, We had to chase for works to be done The finish of the roof could have been better. But ultimately the main reason for the poor review is we had to take Terry Collins (Collins Brickwork & Builders) to the small claims court for the measly sum of £85.00 for an emergency repair required to the toilet they installed incorrectly which flooded the newly built extension. After sending Terry Collins (Collins Brickwork & Builders) photos of the corrective work and the emergency plumbers invoice he agreed to settle the payment but he didn’t respond to my emails / calls or text’s requesting the payment leaving us no option but to try and get the money back through the court. On the day of writing this feedback (some 3 months down the line) the payment is still outstanding and no further contact has been forthcoming. We chose Terry Collins (Collins Brickwork & Builders) who submitted the 2nd most expensive quote we received partly because of his good feedback on MyBuilder however when viewed, this good feedback is mostly for brickwork not general building work so maybe he overstretched his skills with our small job. I have photos of all of our issues and happy to post on MyBuilder as proof if required.

Fencing- 28 Sep 2026
Steven took full payment for a job that was not completed as agreed. Part of the agreement included removing and disposing of all waste, but he left various metal components and other rubbish outside the front of my house, promising to return and collect it later. Despite numerous calls, messages, and repeated promises, the waste remains uncollected. The service I paid for was not completed in full, which is unacceptable. I will be contacting MyBuilder to report this matter and request assistance in obtaining a partial refund for the incomplete work. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

Bricklaying- 12 Dec 2023
Very pleased with the work Matthew did. Matthew did some pointing of brickwork above our sash windows which was in poor order. The bricks on one window were particularly loose. Matthew offered to re-point it or take the bricks out and rebuild This was more expensive but the end result was impressive. The work was complex but skillfully carried out and in keeping with the listed building. We were very pleased with the work and would be happy to work with Matthew again.
