I live in a 17th-century cottage, which needed specialist lime mortar repair work to the brickwork of a wall, repair of a seal, and bricks in a path. Darren visited promptly to assess the work needed, offered good advice, and subsequently submitted a competitive quote for the job. He then returned, with Joe as helper, exactly as arranged, to complete the work. Darren is personable and experienced, very easy indeed to work with, and willing to find solutions and adapt to circumstances as they arise. Such flexibility alongside clear professionalism is refreshing. The invoice I received was exactly as expected. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will certainly use him for further work.

Darren (the honest builder) restored a 150 year old dry flint wall for us which was in poor condition. He did an absolutely marvellous job, bringing lots of ideas about how to do it best and working quickly and tidily. We could not be happier with his work, his approach and his value for money. We will definitely be using him again and recommending him widely.

Fantastic work and left the site spotless

We asked the Honest Builder to remove a leaning retaining wall from our car park and then rebuild it with stronger and better foundations. Darren was such a pleasure to deal with from the quote stage onwards and he and the team left the site clean and tidy at the end of each day. We've now got a fantastic wall which is not only a little bit safer but also looks a whole lot better than our old leaning wall did! We have used them again for several jobs since and will be keeping their details in case we have any more jobs we can send their way!

Darren Hitchins trading as the Honest Builder has been both punctual and reliable in terms of what we had asked him to do. We were very pleased with the standard of his workmanship and his professionalism. This entailed removing the old pointing to an end wall and repointing using lime and mortar to allow the brickwork to breath. The other work was to repair the retaining flint wall which is a skilled job and requires specialist knowledge. We would and will use him again and have no hesitation in recommending him.
