I can highly recommend Simon Maddocks and his team at Dulwich Construction www.dulwichconstruction.com. In summary they are responsive, trustworthy, reliable and do an excellent job at a fair price. In Oct/Nov 2013 they renovated and redecorated our house (Brockley SE4) which involved knocking 3 openings between rooms, installing decking and new under stairs storage, new radiators, new lighting and sockets, replastering, opening 2 fireplaces, installing coving & ceiling roses and repainting. I prepared a detailed scope of work per room and Simon priced each item so we were clear from the start what the costs would be and how the payment schedule worked. The work came in on time and on budget, with minimal hassle and stress, and Simon kept me informed of progress as we went along. They always cleared up at the end of the day and were a pleasure to have in the house (particularly when supplied with tea and biscuits...). They have come back promptly to sort out a few snags that have cropped up and have been helpful in recommending other tradesmen that we've needed. One of the biggest draws for us was that as a small business they do all the work themselves and do one job at a time, so you have their full time and focus for the period of work. The downside is that they do get booked up several months in advance, but that's the sign of good builders and they are well worth the wait. I have no hesitation in recommending Dulwich Construction - we're really glad they did the work for us as the end result is fantastic.
