About M.Construction

Key Services :


M. Construction has been started due to recently been made redundant as a site manager / bricklayer after 34 years being employed by two local building companies.

Having carried out new builds, brickwork, patios underpinning, groundwork, steel installations, making good plastering, flint wall repairs / rebuilds and fencing repairs I am here to help where I can. And when I can.

I have had good track record with CsCs training and also have liability insurance set up. Polite punctual turning up when required.

When I was employed I worked at police , ambulance stations schools, private houses. New builds have included steyning museum, steyning library, 20th century extension on the Shoreham Marlipins museum 12th century part of the building.

Work carried out at friends and family homes include patios, garden walls, clearing of gardens over grown, fire place surrounds and fence repairs / rebuilds.

With my employer I've carried out some serious needling up of properties and inserting in of RSJs, helping solve damp problems, stripping out of old kitchens and preparing plaster work after electricians and plumbers have carried out there work. Raking out and reprinting walls.

Now I am trying to earn a living from helping people with my knowledge and experience. Also my contacts in the trade helping people put their dreams in to reality.

Danny Weddup
Lewes
Martin re-pointed sections of our external wall and investigated a couple of sections of wall that were getting damp, removing bricks to see inside the cavity wall. Finished off with a waterproof sealant in the problem areas. We are very pleased with the work and Martin was polite, friendly and kept us well informed about the job.
Mr Justin Parker

Martin provided a reasonable quote to fix my wooden fence that had blown down in previous storms. He then completed the job to budget, to a high standard of work and saved me money by using the existing sound fence panels. Highly recommended.
Response : Was pleased to help again. ,and to try always to save money where I can. Thankyou .

Im sure he doesn't need my comments but he's been monitoring movement with a vernier caliper on a property for over a year now and found to be punctual, reliable and helpful.

Great work from Martin, done a lovely job on the driveway which we are really happy with.

Rebuilt large collapsed soakaway drain with new cast iron grate. Clean, tidy, and prompt. No hesitation in recommending.
Response : Thankyou for the review Ian, pleasure to carryout this repair which should have been considered when the initial construction of the estate was carried out. When completion of the tarmac drives were constructed.
Richard Bailey
Lewes
Martin laid a large patio area, a couple of ramps and a staircase for us in clay pavers. During the work we added a new soakaway to the job when it was discovered the existing one was blocked. The end result is a fabulous-looking patio and it was a pleasure to have Martin and John onsite. Communication was good and I'd use Martin again for similar work.
Response : Thankyou Richard for taking the time to review ,much appreciated. A very interesting and straight forward job to carryout once all the final finish lines were in place. Thankyou for allowing us to work on your property which when the completed rear area is finished will look great.

Martin reconstructed a drain soak way unit and drain in the driveway and he made good all the brick coursing aligning the drain and driveway. Martin was very good at communicating what was going on and what needed doing: before, during and after the works done. We were impressed by Martin's ability to find solutions to the various aspects of the blocked and broken soakaway unit. Strongly recommend: courteous and fair price; tidy and careful work.
Response : Felt very at home. Friendly customer who made working for relaxing. Thankyou for allowing me to quote and carry out work on your property.

Absolute pleasure to have Martin and John complete the drainage work on my patio, that had been flooding. Martin consulted at every stage and advised when additional costs were necessary and the reasons. Martin and John worked from early morning until the light went. Conscientious workers and mindful of noise levels for neighbours. Would highly recommend their work.
Response : Very friendly customer , Carried out the job to cure a opportunity to put somebody else’s work right. The job run over labour budget which I explained as soon as I carried exploring how best to discharge unwanted surface water. Always have tried to keep the customer informed at all times.

Andi Knight

Martin and John re-plastered and in some parts, rebuilt my crumbling front garden wall. Their work and attention to detail is excellent. Communications and quotes always clear. They are hard working and deliver what they promise. Left the site tidy every night. Came in under the quote. Left the garage used to store materials clean and tidy. Polite. Easy to work with. Many of my neighbours have commented on the wall and have also asked for quotes. I have already asked them back to do more work for me.
Response : Well enjoyed this job , because the customer understood with the time of year carrying outside work can be challenging at all times. Being trusted to unlock and lock up the garage and alike is a big responsibility, But it was part of the job, friendly ,thankful for always being included in the daily drink making . Enjoyed working and giving the job our best attention at all times . Thankyou Andi and Mark for allowing us to carry out your requirements to your front garden.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Martin to anyone. From the start he knew exactly what to do, is very friendly and communicative and the work he has done is great. He starts early, finished late, was a pleasure to have in the house. His colleague John was equally as brilliant. I would 100% use them both again.
Response : Thankyou Colin for allowing me and my friend John to help you to put your bedroom back together again. Glad we could help in a friendly happy household.

Martin worked at our house over a long period of time, doing various jobs including underpinning, bricklaying, building my garden structures and many many more. He seems to be able to turn his hand to most jobs and is careful, tidy, polite and considerate. Unlike many in the construction business, Martin always keeps in mind the next trade coming along, so this saves a lot of hassle, cost and aggravation. He has always been the first person we will call. Reasonable prices, honest, highly recommended.
Response : Enjoyed working here. Thankyou for the work Jan . Hope all is completed and it was a pleasure to help you achieve your dream.

Due to rain leaking through our roof. Contacted Martin to give an estimate as to the cost of of stopping the rain coming in. He arranged for scaffolding to be put up and removed roof tiles. It was found that the west side of our house roofing felt had, due to age had reduced to a crumbling mess. He was honest about the cost and time scale re re-felting. He and his work mate, John. Did a fantastic and professional job. It showed that Martin is an excellent skilled builder and most of all trustworthy.

Martin has done several jobs for Portslade United Reformed Church. He has undertaken woodwork jobs, brickwork repairs as well as roofing repairs. His quotes were accurate for the work required. He is through with his work and finishing skills. He always clears up leaving the place clean and tidy. We have been very pleased with work he has completed. An independent trades person who can be relied on to give you personal service.

Martin was recommended through Nextdoor/streetlife he returned my phone call promptly, arranged to meet with me personally to discuss my project (replacement of cast iPrint airbricks). He was upfront about potential costs and showed good attempts at ensuring materials used were kept to a minimum to minimise wastage and keep costs low for me. I wasn't expecting him to be able to undertake the job for a while, but he was able to squeeze me in the same week. Turned up when he said he would and took as long as he had quoted. Excellent job, site kept tidy throughout. At the end he gave me a detailed invoice and the price came lower than quoted as he was able to reuse old materials. Overall I was extremely impressed.
