How a job runs
What actually happens, start to finish
- 1
A phone call
Tell us roughly what you are thinking. We will say straight away if it is something we do, and whether we can realistically fit it in.
- 2
A site visit
We come out, look properly, measure what needs measuring, and talk through the options – including the cheaper ones.
- 3
A written quote
Itemised, in writing, with exclusions stated plainly. Free, and there is no follow-up sales call.
- 4
Programme and paperwork
Start date agreed, building control notices submitted, stage payments written down before anyone lifts a shovel.
- 5
The build
Site kept tidy, one point of contact, and anything unexpected shown to you and priced before we carry on.
- 6
Handover
Snagged, cleaned, signed off by building control, and we come back if something needs looking at.
30 years on the tools
A time-served bricklayer running the site, not a project manager who has never laid a course.
Fully insured
Public liability cover, certificate available before we start. NICEIC and Gas Safe partners.
Written fixed quotes
Itemised, in writing, with what is excluded stated plainly. No day-rate surprises.
40-mile radius of Poole
Local enough to come back if something needs looking at a year later.
Free, no-obligation quote

Tell us what you have in mind. We will come out, take a proper look, and send you a written quote with no obligation and no sales call afterwards.
