Ben Lawson (Duck Egg Construction) is the best builder I have met. He is truthful, open to discussion and extremely competent. Ben repaired a mix of storm damage to our roof, decayed roof felt and poor gutters that were causing damp and crumbling render on the chimney and roof parapets. In spite of recent heavy rain no water has got in through the repairs and the building is drying out at last. Ben was extremely understanding about the conservation issues regarding a pair of nesting gulls and came back after the babies had fledged. His colleague Steve also did an excellent job replacing the lead in the roof gulley. Thank you Ben.

Duck Egg construction were excellent throughout the rebuilding of our house. The works to be completed were taxing as the site was on a steep incline with limited access. Ben managed the whole project expertly and I highly reccomended his company to anyone looking for a builder you can trust.
