D & M Building Services

Malcolm and Denise have carried out extensive renovation work on our old stone house this year. The work has involved the complete re-fit of an upstairs bathroom and downstairs loo and the preparation work for the installation of a new fitted kitchen. The work has included damp proofing and re-plastering where necessary, floor and wall tiling, fitting of new radiators and new skirting boards, boxing in pipes and fitting panelling. They have also carried out the re-decoration work associated with this, as well as damp proof work and re-decoration of the hall, lounge and dining room. The work was all carried out on time and on budget. We called Malcolm and Denise on the basis of their status as Which Trusted Traders and they have not disappointed. They arrive on time and do what they say they will do. They reply to communication promptly and are a pleasure to have around. This is an old house and has presented numerous challenges in the course of renovation which have been dealt with proactively and positively. We have really appreciated the honest advice they have been able to give us, with our limited knowledge, based on their long history in the building trade. We are very pleased with the results!

Malcolm and Denise completed a kitchen and bathroom refit in a very professional and expert fashion, with many helpful suggestions and great attention to detail along the way. They overcame many problems with considerable thought and determination including moving the soil pipe from its impossible position in the kitchen to the bathroom, and uneven walls making the kitchen units difficult to align and fit. They always faced these issues with good humour, politeness and a "can do" attitude. They cleaned up every night, leaving the flat as clean as possible, even after moving and bricking-in the kitchen entrance, and painted the walls and ceilings to a very high standard. I cannot speak too highly of their workmanship, and they were both a delight to deal with.

Dee and Malcolm were fantastic - incredibly trustworthy, friendly and professional at all times and were very considerate of our needs and wants - were generally pleasant to have around and always tidied after themselves at the end of the day. Our bathroom looks amazing and is exactly what we wanted and they had loads of professional advice and ideas that left our bathroom looking stylish and unique. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for work doing and will definitely look to use them again in the future. Thanks!

Malcolm and Dee did a fantastic job on a full bathroom renovation for us. Complete removal of existing bathroom and airing cupboard. A section of wall needed boxing in and other sections of wall were patched up due to being in poor condition. The new bathroom was fitted brilliantly and the decorating was of a very high standard. Being an old house a number of issues arose all of which were dealt with professionally and efficiently. Thank you for a fantastic job done.

D&M cut back the wall plaster to the original stone, installed 50mm Insulated board, plastered walls & ceiling during the hottest days this summer. They took every precaution to minimise dust & disturbance & did a thoroughly professional job. In addition to the original plan, they moved a double socket & replaced the skirting in the whole room. They also found that the replacement window had not been sufficiently sealed & weather proofed - so took care of that as well. They remained helpful and considerate throughout & had a great work ethic. We will look to them for additional work in the autumn.

D&M Building Services carried out an exterior painting job for us on our three bedroomed det. bungalow, they did a superb job in spite of the adverse weather conditions. From our very first contact they were completely reliable and were very good at communicating effectively, we were very impressed by their attention to detail and over all their efficiency. Our experience was that they were very pleasant, helpful and got on with the job in a highly effective manner, we are extremely pleased with their work and have absolute confidence in recommending them.

We needed our basement damp proofed and made into a usable space. We felt really positive about Molly and Dee when they came out to quote us. They were here for a month and worked extremely hard, kept us updated and discussed any issues that they found, often with cost effective solutions! They did absolutely everything, the damp proofing, plastering, lights, liaised with other tradespeople when needed. We were very anxious about the work being stressful but they made it a lot easier for us. They were very careful and respectful in our home, always friendly and we are really pleased with the work they have done. We will definitely be using them again!

We have used DM Building services for a number of jobs over the last few years, they have always offered good advise on the work that is needed to be carried out giving possible options along the way. They turn up when they say they are going to and work hard to get the job done. They have dealt with a number of different issues with damp and re plastering with all work looking fantastic. I would definitely recommend them and no doubt we will be using them again when we want to start our next project.

D&M Building Services undertook some work to update our existing 70's living room fireplace and wall (boarding, re-plastering, new slate mantelpiece) and decorated the whole room on completion. Throughout the work they were knowledgeable and reliable. Where we were struggling with ideas they suggested materials and finishes. They arrived when they promised and the work was completed on time. At the end of every day our living room was returned to normal - all tools, equipment and debris cleared away so our two young children could use it safely which was not something we'd expected and very welcome! Their attention to detail and pride in undertaking the work meant everything was finished to a high standard, and we couldn't be more pleased with the end result. On top of that, they are genuinely lovely people and it was a pleasure to work with them. We would not hesitate to recommend them, and look forward to using them again in the future.

They were recommended to me by a friend, as we needed someone to take out and old kitchen, convert the larder to a downstairs toilet, install a new much larger kitchen, decorate and lay floor tiles in the kitchen, dining room, hall and toilet. They were fantastic, making helpful suggestions when we didn’t know what direction to take, sorting out lots of issues caused by us and our requirements and doing all the work to a very high standard. They take a real pride in doing a good job and it shows when the work is completed, we were really happy with the end result. They are also very nice people, and a pleasure to work with, and always tidied up at the end of day. I would certainly highly recommend them to anyone looking to have similar work to ours done.

We came across Malcolm and Dee via the trusted traders site. We had spent a long time trying to find someone to help sort out a damp issue in our fireplace. Malcolm and Dee came to view the job and gave sensible advice as to how to sort the issue. They went away and promptly provided a quote. They arrived on time and completed the work to a high standard, injecting a damp proof course and then rendering and plastering. The work was completed within the time frame indicated and they were very neat and tidy, ensuring that the area was tidied up each day. Malcolm and Dee were very professional and personable and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Highly recommended. Professional perfectionist, an excellent job. Always on time and tidied at end of each day. Polite, friendly helpful and trustworthy

Malcolm's plastering is perfect. His work is certainly the best I have seen. During the last 10 years I have seen him work at 4 properties and he has always produced a high standard, often under challenging circumstances. D & M are reliable, punctual, accommodating and totally trustworthy. I would not use anyone else.
