  What our clients say about our work
  Both Ali and Stephen showed a high degree of professionalism and ensured that our concerns and wishes were always considered in a proportionate and carefully thought out way. The timeline for doing the work was met at all times and the site was always tidy and managed excellently by Stephen Boyle and his staff. My wife and I are very pleased with the finished product and we would like it to go on record how grateful we are.
  The works carried out were highly professional and slick and we were really pleased with the service that all your workforce have delivered. Clean / Tidy / Professional and On Point.
  Chris Ross
  We are very pleased with the quality of the works completed on our house by your team Graham and Daryl. The decoration looks very smart and thorough and we are delighted with the outcome. Graham and Daryl were very pleasant and courteous at all times and always let us know their intentions and showed us what they were doing. They were here every day as agreed and cleared up before they left.
  Mrs L.P
  A huge thank you to all involved in the works at our house. For all the advice and help and especially for their patience and respectful nature with my mum. The finish of the work is now immaculate and our house feels like a million bucks and will surely recommend you to friends and family.
  Mr S Afghan
  All three members of U&M’s team were excellent – friendly, skilful, and professional
  Mr Platt
  In short U&M’s staff were by far the best Groundworkers I have dealt with. No problems and the end result looks spot on! We will definitely do more business with U&M.
  Muskox Construction
  They were clearly determined to ensure that the job was done to the highest standards and that was their primary objective. They could have cut some corners but this was never considered as an option. Communication was always thorough and prompt and they were polite and reasonable when they had to prompt me to get a move on and make decisions! I would recommend them, particularly Kirk Jull's team in a heartbeat!
  Mr Chippendale
  Underpin & Makegood are first class underpinning contractors that my firm has been pleased to include on our select list for almost 40 years.
  JHC Ltd
  I would like to say how pleased we have been with the progress of the works and how efficient and helpful your team have been. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to others. After all the horror stories one hears about getting building work done - and some in our own experience - this has been altogether different.
  Mr A McIrvine
  Brilliant team work, good communication and excellent professional services the boys were spot on.
  B.A.BUILD LTD
  Frank and his team were punctual, worked well and at the end of each day they left the place clean and tidy which we were very grateful for. We are very happy with the end result and wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing a reliable contractor.
  Karen Richardson
  The repairs to the wall were carried out in a professional manner and I am pleased with the results.
  K Datta
  U&M Group provided an easy to understand quotation and their office staff dealt promptly and effectively with queries and unexpected site conditions. Their site staff were always helpful, polite and willing to discuss any aspect of the work with me and the Building Control Inspector. Thanks for a great job.
  Mr Frost
  My wife and I were highly satisfied by the very professional and high quality nature of the work carried out by U & M Group and by the most friendly and helpful nature of the staff. We can strongly recommend them.
  Dr Wright
  This company operated efficiently, professionally and extremely organised. The operatives on site were extremely helpful. We would be more than happy to employ this company again.
  Haynes & Smith Ltd
  The day I rang Underpin and Makegood was the best decision I ever made. From start to finish the entire team were professional, friendly and filled me with confidence. If you are in the position of needing a piling company I cannot recommend Underpin and Makegood highly enough, it will be the best decision you ever make!
  Vicky Symes
  Walter and Chris have been an incredibly hard working team, conducting themselves with absolute professionalism and good spirits for entire the length of the work. They managed to start every day extremely early, and then worked diligently throughout the days and weeks- looking after the site and keeping the area clean and organized for us, too. Overall, we really appreciated their easy manners and exceptional work!
  Ms Senior
  Professional and efficient job (pilled raft and piled ground beam) – very tidy and received compliments from both warranty and building control site inspections. Great job!!
  Justin Evans
  We are very pleased with the works throughout. Very high standard and very nicely painted.
  Mike Heanue
  This collapsing wall problem has been a source of stress for some time but it was a great relief to know that the work was being carried out with such care and expertise. I would like to express my special thanks to Dave who did the lion’s share of the work. He was considerate, punctual, tidy, precise and hardworking. He worked between the plants (so even my garden is fine) and he generally looked after things. Thank you!
  Elise V
  Thank you for everything, for the brilliant service, professionalism and knowledge about the problem we had in our house that you’ve rectified. Your team was a real pleasure to deal with, from Heath, Christina to Jason and Peter who worked meticulously to resolve the problem. My mind is at rest now that the job is done.
  Caroline Lagergren
  Great communication, great team to have in our garden, a team that did what they said they would do when they said they would do it and kept the site clean and tidy throughout which is a challenge digging out hundreds of tons of clay.
  Mr Vernon
  Upon contacting underpin, Kirk was very quick at determining what we might need and came out the same day to take a look at our house and talk with our builders. Whilst proceeding, all involved were really good – Jamie and Jamie worked hard, and Kirk liaised by sending over the pictures and log over to our council. It was a really smooth operation. Many thanks!
  Mrs Widders
  From start to finish nothing was a problem. All labour on site were polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend U&M Group to my Colleagues in the Industry. Well Done
  Mr Simpson
  Thorough, efficient and prompt
  Mr Rupp
  We were very pleased with the service we received from start to finish and would recommend them to anybody who wants a quick and efficient job done.
  Mrs Smith
  I was very happy with the construction of my piled garage raft from the initial scoping and proposal through to the construction and completion. The works team and project manager were very professional, courteous and helpful paying attention to all details. I was always kept informed on progress and the site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I am completely satisfied with the result and would recommend and use the U&M Group again.
  Mr Bishop
  Excellent. Delighted. Was the site kept clean and tidy? Very much so. Were you satisfied with out staff? Could not fault them. Extremely satisfied.
  Mrs Bowers
  We would like to thank you for the excellent work you carried out at our house. The kindness and attention you gave to us, an elderly couple, was much appreciated.
  Hertfordshire
  All U&M staff which I dealt with were very efficient, pleasant and helpful. The men arrived promptly, worked hard and left the site clean and tidy every evening. Nothing was too much trouble to achieve satisfaction. The job has been completed to a high standard and I would not hesitate to recommend U&M.
  Radlett
  Works completed on time, very helpful and professional
  Mr C Parsons
  Underpin were fantastic. They made a job I had been dreading having done totally stress-free. They were efficient, tidy and nice. Every interaction I had with them was trouble-free and easy. What could be better?
  Dr Taylor
  We were very pleased with the service we received from start to finish and would recommend them to anybody who wants a quick and efficient job done.
