    Tony Frank at Thurgoland Builders. He’s a good friend of mine and a huge Reds fan. Always busy, but all good tradesmen usually are.

    As above, always busy but that’s a sign of a quality tradesman.

    I also would recommend Dave.
    A good bloke known him for the best part of 30 Years.
    He has done mine and a few family members extensions and also done people's who I have passed his number to when I have been asked if I know any builders.

    Despite me offering a different recommend, above, I can also vouch for Bellamy’s. Tim and the team do a great, professional job.

    Probably common sense but get a few quotes, we had a garage knocked through to make a big kitchen a couple of years ago and the difference in the quotes was ridiculous, only one of the builders asked what industry l worked in - "taxes" l replied, he **** himself. :D
