“Very pleased with the workmanship received from Ben and his team. The work was completed for the price quoted and photos were presented to me all the way through the job — I didn't feel comfortable going up on the scaffolding but they kept me fully informed. I would happily recommend them and will use them again should the need arise.”
“Brick Builds offer a fast, efficient and professional service. They have done a fantastic job of my extension — they are extremely conscientious and hardworking! Over the past 12 years I have worked with a number of construction professionals and Brick Builds are one of the very best. Would highly recommend!”
“A previous builder had made a terrible mess of making a new opening into the rear of our garage and installing a door. Ben and his team did a brilliant job sorting out the stonework and rehanging the door. It took longer than expected, but Ben stuck with his original quote. We would definitely use them again.”
