"Lee and his team completed work at my property back in Aug 2017. What a fantastic and friendly bunch they are. I can’t thank them enough for the brilliant job they did on my extension highly recommended!"

"Lee and the guys from Stockport Design and Build have been at our house for the last few weeks doing the building work on a new kitchen extension/conservatory. They have been super tidy (especially in ensuring our neighbours was spotless!), polite and friendly at all times. The quality of the brickwork has been complemented by several people and we have been really pleased overall with the quality of the work in general. They have been an absolute pleasure to have around, we especially enjoyed their happy banter and singing! :) Thank you for everything!"
