Steve and Ivan are as far from what you and I would envisage as your archetypal builders! They are both without doubt up there with the best I've come across. Let me qualify that. I have been a proprietor of a property refurbishment company and as such, have employed many trades 'professionals'. I have always banged my drum about poor levels of customer service, inconsistent quality of work, unreliability and poor communication as the key criteria upon which to evaluate builders. Not only do Steve and Ivan excel in each of the aforementioned criteria, I would also add; they have a fantastic work ethic - a legacy from a career in the Paras and Army Intelligence! Furthermore, they demonstrate a passion and pride for what they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who has a need for professionals in the building trade.

We employed Steve and Ivan to build a new brick porch and were immediately comfortable with them and the way they came across. They impressed us with the way they carried out the work, so we asked them back to build our rear extension and patio decking. They are polite and hard working tradesmen and never left our house without asking if it was tidy enough. This was a real surprise as we thought that all builders leave a mess. We completely trusted them with the keys to our house while we went away on holiday for 3 weeks. Steve kept us informed by texting pictures and messaging us, this really made the holiday and the whole process stress free. We came back to find works had progressed so quickly, we were pleased to see they had almost completed the extension and had made great progress on the decking. The job was completed to a standard which surpassed our expectations. Myself and my wife Anne would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and Ivan to anyone.
