Lanarkshire: any recommended builders?
Discussion
Help!
We bought a (level) building plot in South Lanarkshire with full planning permission, building warrants, site wall, garage and site services (except gas) already in place.
Unfortunately our builder has just pulled out - their current project will not be finished in time to ensure our home (his next project) is completed before his partner emigrates to Australia!
Home is a detached 5 bed, 2 storey, circa 3700 square feet (approx 340 square metres).
I found a few names online through findabuilder.com for tradesmen registered through the FMB. Only one builder has so far replied - so, does anyone have any recommendations for good builders that they have used in Glasgow / Lanarkshire that would be interested in this project???
Thanks in advance for your help!

Scotty built my house and i would recommend him but he is so busy i would be suprised if he could fit you in at short notice and to be honest he is not cheap.
But if you are good why should you be cheap?
I know another builder who built my extension this year and he was excellent and very reasonable.
Only reason i got him is due to Scotty being so busy.
He has now built my extension my sister inlaws extension my motherinlaws extension and my next door neighbours extension.
All this year.
Email me if you want any further info

Another vote for Scotty. He renovated my first house, and it was ready for me coming back from abroad. Guy did a first class job. I have a feeling your in the Larkhall area or thereabouts - be carefull, as there are some serious cowboys kicking around that way now in the building trade. Lately though, the building boom has meant even the cowboys are getting work.
If you need a joiner to do the roughing out etc, then I know a very good one. He's done a lot of work for me, from decking to kitchens, and has been really good. I can ask him if he knows a good builder without a massive waiting list if you want.

Not sure if he would work out that way, but call Jack Bobin at Bobin Homes in Linlithgow. Jack built our last home, sponsored our racing activities for 10+years, and is a first class gentleman - you will not find anyone more reliable than Jack.
Is there not a well known saying about the house that Jack built?Reidy10_0 said:
Cowboys in Larkhall? Now thats a first.
We usualy get bad mouthed for other reasons.
I know mate. Still smashing the green traffic light glass in the main street of a Saturday evening outside the Music Room pub as well I saw last week. We usualy get bad mouthed for other reasons.
Edited to say, I grew up there, but thankfully managed to escape over the wall some years ago!

Phoned my Joiner and my Sparky this morning, and both recommended the same builder. So, two independant recomendations, that might count for something.
Guy called Holton - does a lot of timber frome kit stuff, one off's, special builds etc. Sounds like he fits the bill for the project you have. Look hi up, or I can get a number for you if you want.
They also told me a couple to stay away from, but obviously I'd not post names on here!
Good luck.
