Bush Builders have just completed some work for us - renovating our kitchen/living/dining area and hallway. This included all of the plumbing, electrics, plastering, new kitchen installation, knocking down walls, installing an RSJ etc. From first enquiry they were very responsive and turned up when they said they would. We found them to be upfront and honest throughout.

Had Dave and his team complete a single storey rear extension. Price was very competitive and the standard of work is very high. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Would like to also give a shout out to his team - Rickie, Dan, George, Julian, Vern, Sam, Phil, Peter, Henry and anyone else involved in the project.

Bush builders completed a single storey extension, kitchen refit and new toilet shower room to our property. On first meeting Dave we went with our instinct and did not regret it. He is extremely professional, approachable and his knowledge comes from years of experience in the industry. His team of builders are a credit to his business. They were polite, attentive and craftsmen of the utmost experience and quality. Building work in your home is a stressful experience but every effort was made to keep disruption to a minimum. We are so pleased with the finished result and would not hesitate to

We had a single storey side extension completed and couldn't be happier with the finish. The team were friendly and kept the site clean and tidy through the build. I would highly recommend them.
