We got in contact with Arcus to replace brickwork under our front bay window. Carn was quick to respond and provided a competitive quote to us promptly. From the outset he gave us a timescale for starting and completing the work which he stuck to without fail. Carn is polite, friendly, professional and left the site clean and tidy as promised. He did a fantastic job for us and would have no hesitation in recommending him, and, asking him to do more work for us in the future.

Arcus Building carried out extensive remodelling of our townhouse front garden. It’s a confined space and was an awkward job which required substantial excavating of the old concrete and subsoil before rebuilding terraced brick retaining walls and the boundary walls, and removing, re-laying and tiling the broken concrete path. Carn was thorough in everything he did; he contributed sound ideas to the plan, and suggested improvements that made a big difference to the finished result. He showed great attention to detail (proper drainage, etc), always turned up on time, was easy to get on with and respectful of the property and the disruption to neighbours. The result was better than I imagined it could be, and I would definitely approach Arcus Building again for future building work.

What an amazing company to engage. Carn (the owner) is just what you hope for when taking on a builder. His level of workmanship, attention to detail, kind and thoughtful manner all match his perfectionist attitude to every task.
He did such a brilliant job in totally building an external pottery workshop and utility room for us, we engaged him again straight away for an oak and brick enclosed porch.
He is always punctual, works extremely hard through all weather (Feb to May) and always with a cheery smile or a chuckling laugh.
His pricing was extremely clear and transparent, with a detailed breakdown of costs and was extremely competitive.
If you want a highly skilled, hard working builder who puts the customer first, then Carn is your guy.

Arcus Bricklaying and Building carried out some internal alterations of bedrooms and a bathroom and I was really pleased with the finished result. They were polite and reliable and worked fast to produce a high standard quality finish. I will be using Arcus again for future work as they seem highly skilled and their very pleasant and honest attitude made me feel nothing was too much trouble which made all the difference.

Arcus Building were amazing! We had an old deck that needed fully replacing and extending. Carn was so professional from start to finish, he kept us informed through the process, and we love the outcome. He is clearly a skilled builder and we’re more than happy to recommend him.   We hope to get him back for another job soon.

I asked Arcus to design and construct an attic area in my garage to facilitate more storage. 

It was a difficult project as it had to be made around the garage door structure as well as the existing plumbing for the house. 

Carn was brilliant from the off. He designed a great solution, was prompt, efficient and very reliable. The end result is great. 

I look forward to using his services again, and thoroughly recommend him.

Excellent workmanship carried out efficiently. Projects started with a lean to extension involving concrete flooring, walling and roof. This was completed on time and within budget. We are so pleased with the high standard of work carried out that we have asked Arcus to carry out further work for us, including plastering, stone tiling, paving works and replacement of gutters. Very trustworthy, reliable and honest.
