Report
Really impressed with this family run company. I noticed they don't advertise much except for their fleet of vans with the Clay Construction logo on them but the real secret here is, I knew about them through word of mouth and they did a great job building a brand new extension on my house, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stress free building experience. It's run by Gary and his son Ben Clay, very impressive service to say to least.
