We bought our house in 2007. In 2017 it was time to start a large ongoing project to update and improve the property which was built circa 1890. The first phase involved extensive renovation to the basement, kitchen and front & rear external areas including the addition of a rear extension. As the homeowner you always have an idea of what you would like to achieve, we appointed Marshall Design and Build to do the work as not only did they provide the necessary assurance of their technical expertise but offered a full turn-key solution. They brought our ideas to life making recommendations and providing options along the way. Throughout the work they were professional and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. Since then we have worked with Marshall Design and build on two further phases, designing and installing a wet room and an extensive corrective refurbishment of internal brickwork and staircase. Today our property is nearing completion and we are delighted with the works providing a lovely family home,Marshall Design and Build have been instrumental in this -proficient, innovative and reliable - J & C Parker

Marshall Design & Build and his team extended our house through adding a porch, extending the garage and building a pitched roof. Internally they added and finished to a great standard a utility room. From our initial meeting with Craig we were impressed with his professionalism. Craig was very helpful as we finalised our plans and making decisions during the build. Craig and his team always left the place clean and tidy and our kids loved watching them do the different jobs around the house. We were delighted with the finished work which has improved our home inside and out. - G & F Voller

Marshall Design & Build managed and built a single story extension above our double garage for us creating a new bedroom in our family home. It also involved converting an existing adjoining room into 3 areas which included an en-suite bathroom and a study area with built in furniture. We chose this company after a few quotes due to recommendation as well as feeling confident in his approach and manner from the outset. Craig oversaw all aspects of the build and organised different tradesmen and the purchasing of both materials as well as fixtures and fittings that we wanted. He was available for advice over these things and was always extremely helpful and able to offer sensible suggestions which showed his depth of knowledge. Both he and his colleagues were always punctual and very tidy as well as extremely courteous and respectful of being in our home which, along with his organisation of all aspects of the build made the process much easier for us as a family. Even our neighbours commented on how polite, efficient and clean they were. We would definitely use their services again and would have no doubt about recommending them. Jen & Ayo - A & J

Marshall Design & Build completed a full refurbishment of our garden shortly after we moved into our house. We obtained a number of quotes for the work and decided to go with Craig as he turned up on time and clearly knew his trade. Craig quickly established what we were looking for and assisted with design ideas, in keeping with our modern taste. We left the team working on the project whilst we went away on holiday and we trusted them implicitly with full access to our house. We had peace of mind knowing they were a professional team. As with all large projects there were some unexpected issues but Craig managed to work around these, without any stress being caused to ourselves. There were also additions we made as the build went along, such as integrated lighting and bi-fold doors, which were done without any fuss. We were kept fully informed throughout the build and we are delighted with the outcome. Over a year later the garden still looks brand new and our visitors always comment on how lovely it looks. I would not hesitate in recommending Marshall Design & Build and they will be my first choice for any building work we need doing in the future. - N & S W

Craig completed extensive alterations to my Mum’s house to make it safer and easier to manage as she gets on in age. The work was all completed according to our architect’s specifications, but Craig was really helpful in suggesting changes and additions as the project progressed –such as installing under floor heating instead of radiators which has been a huge hit with Mum! It was also very important to me that our builder was patient and considerate to my Mum’s needs because she found the building work rather stressful –Craig really went the extra mile and it was good to know there was someone on site all the time that Mum trusted. The work was all completed to a good standard and Craig was happy to return on a couple of occasions to sort out the inevitable snagging issues. Craig is calm and considerate and works to a high standard –I’m happy to recommend him. - J Lawler

After getting a number of quotations from various building companies I decided to go with Marshall Design. I chose his company for a number of reasons. If you discount his depth of knowledge, his professionalism and the fact I felt that I could trust him, I would have gone with his company just off the pure fact that he turned up as and when he said he would, his communication was brilliant throughout the whole process. This for me was paramount! Our project was the removal of an old small extension to the rear of our house and replace it with another the full width, in addition to this we knocked through a number of walls and turned the back of our house into one large kitchen/diner. My wife and I have been renovating our home for the last two years by ourselves as we are, very fortunately, quite handy. Naturally we were a little reluctant to ask for help and part with our money. However, we are certainly glad we did! Marshall Design and his team took away all the pressure from us, and liaised with all the relevant agencies, councils, building regulators etc… on our behalf. This sped up the whole process tenfold and the high standard of his work was excellent. Craig was not conservative when it came to suggesting ideas and alternatives to our plans. Using his experience he suggested ways of saving money without the compromise of quality and innovative ideas to improve on our original plans. This made us feel like he had a real invested attitude to the outcome of our project, and that it was not just another job to him. Naturally, as you can probably tell, we love our extension and we cannot applaud Marshall Design and his team enough. The whole project was completed in an impressive time frame; the level of his work was remarkable, we totally trusted his judgement, he never tried to pull the wool over our eyes and most importantly our dog loved him. We would not use anybody else. Mr and Mrs Halliwell - P & N

Having bought a “project” a 300 year old farmhouse with land I had a vision to maximise the space and views. We designed a 2500ft2 wrap around extension with full vaulted ceilings on both single and dual story, wet rooms, cinema room, a refurb and structural knockabout of the existing property and a new build detached double garage with a project total well over £400k. Marshall Design executed the whole project from cradle to grave and is subsequently doing some more work for us. I am a construction professional and have project led hundreds of contracts but was too involved elsewhere when my own house was undertaken. I had no worries at all as Marshall Design and his operatives are amongst the highest calibre I have ever worked with. He has detailed knowledge of the entire process as well as his excellent knowledge and technical ability the one thing that sets Craig apart from the rest is his courteous attitude which leads to respect from the trades, his energy but above all his conscientiousness and honesty. He is a pleasant guy who is a pleasure to have around your family. I would be delighted to recommend using him to any future clients and already have a healthy amount of work in the pipeline for him - Andy

Marshall Design project managed and built an extension to my property which is used as home office space and snug. Marshall Design oversaw the plans with a local architect and liaised with the building inspector on site visits. He oversaw the project from the ground up engaging and managing all the extra tradesmen to complete the project on time. His own qualities as a qualified tradesman shone through at every level and he was very competent in completing the tasks. He was very punctual and exceptionally tidy making sure the site was left safe and clean every evening. The correct site signage was used and displayed correctly and PPE / HSE guidelines correctly adhered to. The overall finish and quality of the build was very good and came in on time and in budget. Craig Marshall Design, Brickwork & Building Services are a reputable company and I would highly recommend them. - D K Hughes

We originally chose Craig Marshall Building Services because they came highly recommended to us. Craig showed commitment to our build from the early planning stages right through to completion and this shows in the impressive transformation of our home. He brought together all the subcontractors at the required times and his very high standards have been key to success of the build. Always keen to take on any last minute modifications and offer advice if needed, he was polite and well-mannered at every stage. He proved to be a very competent, professional craftsman and made the whole process from start to finish stress free for us. It was a pleasure working with Craig and we would recommend him and his work to anyone without hesitation. - T & S
