“Graham is the most amazing builder I have ever come across. He approaches each job with the same care, attention and dedication he would use if it were his very own. he has never completed anything with anything other than the upmost skill and professionalism . He is utterly reliable, full of brilliant, economical and intelligent ideas with a view to ensure the job is good value for money. Everyone that he has ever brought on to help him has been of equally high standard. On top of which he is the most lovely of men who is an absolute joy to have around; kind, wise, considerate, fun and super gentle. For us he has done everything: built an incredible treehouse, converted our barn to an immaculate spec, re-landscaped our garden and completed many other little tasks around the house. I cant say enough about what a blessing it is to have come across Graham and Craftbuild Building Ltd.”

“Craftbuild is run by Graham Lear who is very skilled, organised and professional. The standard of work is second to none. Mr Lear employs a very happy team of people who pride themselves on doing a good job. They were all very polite. They turned up on time, rolled up their sleeves all day and left late in the day too. . They are all hard working and do an honest job. Mr Lear communicated well with me and my architect. The standard of finish on the work done in my house was really high and I could not fault it.”

“If you are looking for a wonderful, utterly reliable and creative builder for a conversion, extension or refurbishment, look no further than Graham Lear and his Craftbuld team. I cannot recommend him and the people he works with more highly. He is experienced, hard working, full of inventive ideas, never ever ruffled, completely trustworthy, considerate, efficient, kind and supportive throughout the process. He is an absolute joy to work with, highly organised, kept within the budget and delivered the project on time.
Graham and his team worked on the complete refurbishment and extension of my Victorian workshop/studio and have transformed it into a wonderful, flexible home. We worked together on many aspects of the project and over the six month period of the build there was never a moment when I had the slightest doubt that it wouldn’t work out well; in fact it has worked out better than i ever could have imagined. When minor problems turned up, which they inevitably will with any major project, I had complete confidence that Graham and his team would solve them calmly, creatively and with no fuss and they always did.
I absolutely love living in my new home and I have a lot of jealous visitors! I cannot thank Graham enough for making the whole project a fantastic, positive experience from the beginning to end. Nothing was ever too much trouble and his attention to detail is superb.”
Andy and Laura Gilroy
“Graham and Harvey were great to work with. From initial contact to completing the project, the communication was brilliant. They always achieved the highest standards of workmanship. They are very polite and a pleasure to have around.
They initially knocked our kitchen and dining room into one and installed our new kitchen for us. Always keeping us informed of timing so we could plan delivery of any materials required. We were thrilled with the outcome. We have since used them on multiple projects and our friends have also begun to use them for similar projects after seeing the standard of their workmanship.
We can’t recommend them highly enough.”
Glyn and Heather Fuller

Sharon & Mark Hanney
"We have no hesitation in recommending Craftbuild as they are very reliable and professional. Graham and Harvey were respectful and easy to get on with making sure everything ran smoothly, our ideas were taken into account and any questions we had were quickly resolved. We are delighted with the finished result and will be using them again.”
“The Craftbuild team did a fantastic job - transforming two bedrooms and three bathrooms in a matter of weeks. They were extremely efficient and maintained their sense of humour, despite our ever-evolving ideas.”
