Helen Francis from Beer, Seaton , November 19, 2023
MFS team were excellent, They called on the day with an ETA and updated it when it changed. They were polite, knowledgable and did a great job very efficiently. I would definitely recommend them and I will use them again.

Jean Brown from Exeter , November 9, 2023
We had to wait a while because Mark and team are so busy but when they arrived the work was excellent, not just repairing the damaged area we knew about but checking the whole roof, repairing and renewing where needed and cleaning out all the gutters and gullies. Our house is high, but all this was done safely but without scaffolding. Highly recommended.

I find them excellent: reliable and honest. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Donna L from Sidford , October 24, 2023
I was very pleased with the work done by MFS and I would recommend them to anybody. They did a lot of work on my roof, including removing a chimney. They matched all the tiles so you can't see there had previously been a chimney. I am absolutely delighted.
They cleared up very well, too.

Mark and his friendly, hard-working team have done an amazing job on the outside of our house, which needed a lot of care and attention. Over the last three weeks they have worked long hours through some very wet weather to repair, restore and decorate to a superb standard in double quick time, within tight traffic management limitations. We could not be happier with the service provided and the stunning results.

Sarah Hall from Sidmouth , May 2, 2023
Brilliant! We are selling our house and needed some weeds removed that were growing from the roof. Mark was available soon after our enquiry. He highlighted other 'quick wins' he could achieve while the ladders were in place - including a missing tile that we hadn't noticed. They performed the work quickly and without any fuss, in their usual friendly and professional manner.

John L from Sidmouth , May 1, 2023
We were due to complete on our house sale on the Monday. But on the Friday morning before we discover water ingress through our first floor ceiling. Within 90 minutes of calling MFS for help they arrived, searched the loft space to locate the point of water ingress, climbed on the roof, inspected it and located a cracked roof tile. An hour later they returned from their yard with an exact replacement which they fitted. Result! They were prompt, efficient and a great bunch of lads. Can’t give them enough credit.

We have recently had building work done by M.F.S.Builders of Sidmouth,
The quality of workmanship is excellent and the job was done on time.
The staff involved were polite and explained what they were doing at every stage. Thank you.

David Gale from Colyford, Devon , March 5, 2023
See my previous review. Mark continues to provide a first class reliable service. At short notice he cleared the gutters and identified the problem. The following day, two of his lads attended and fixed the problem. I was so pleased that Mark was still providing such an excellent service. Highly recommended.

Mrs P from Sidford , October 31, 2022
I have a small dormer which was damaged last March in the storms. The wind ripped the lead roof right back. I left a message with them – and they got straight back to me and carried out emergency repairs by lunchtime the next day.
They explained what was happening up there, and what they had done as a repair.
I have now had the dormer re-roofed, and they made a very good job of it. They were friendly, efficient and cleaned up beautifully afterwards. I would be happy to recommend them to anybody.

Carol Wathall from Sidmouth , February 26, 2022
After the horrendous storms last week I had an end ridge tile hanging off the roof in a state of panic I rang Mark on a Saturday morning. The weather was horrible with high winds and driving rain but within the hour Mark came round and made the ridge tile safe.
The following week Mark and his associate came round to complete a secure fix of the ridge tile and another broken tile. I am so grateful for their help, efficiency and very pleasant manner.
I would highly recommend them for any job you need undertaken and once again express my gratitude.

For roof tile replacement and repairs, moss clearance.
Mark provided a very competitive quote and was able to carry out the works at a very convenient time. He and his team were very courteous and carried out the works to a very good standard. Really pleased with the results and have already recommended him.

JuneG from Sidford , October 19, 2021
Called MFS at 4pm yesterday as we had a fairly significant leak from our conservatory roof. Mark turned up within the hour. This morning his guys came and by 1pm they had fixed the leak. Fantastic service. Polite, tidy, professional. An amazing response. We will certainly use again.

LP from Sidmouth , September 22, 2021
I had a leak, so did my daughter. Mark came to do a temporary fix for my daughter (and didn't charge her due to her circumstances at the time).
His workmen are so loyal, kind, caring, clean and tidy.
Mark did two jobs for me and invoiced me for both in one. I gave him two sets of cheques – one for each job. He could have taken the money and I'd have been none the wiser, but Mark pointed out to me that I'd overpaid him £1500. I was speechless by how honest, kind and caring this gesture was.
While they worked here nothing was too much trouble. I couldn’t praise him anymore. I was very happy wtih the work they did. The boys who work for him sing his praises from the rooftops!
They worked solid for over a week and a half.
I'm 71, and I've never come up on anyone else like this in my whole life.

Dear Mark
Thank you for your detailed invoice. Even though the job turned out to be larger than expected I am very happy with how it was completed. Your lads worked extremely hard and tidily.

With kind regards

I had ridge tiles coming off my roof. He came up the very next morning to have a look.
The team were here the next day. They did good work, they cleaned up beautifully and charged a very reasonable price.
I would use them again and recommend them highly.

Caroline Brown from Sidmouth , April 3, 2020
As usual, Mark and his team did a great job for us, this time replacing a flat roof that was in a sorry state. A professional and friendly service was provided, leaving everything clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

I only see Mark when I need his expertise. He quickly provides a satisfactory solution to my problem whatever it may be. Reliable trust is essential for peace of mind, and is much appreciated.

Robinson from Sidmouth , October 13, 2019
MKS were recommended to me and they lived up to the reports I had received beforehand.

Technically good, hardworking and flexible. They did a fine job with no fuss and I liked their sense of humour. Tidy workers who cleared the site in fine style before they left.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and his teams.
★★★★★
Pauline Hill from Sidmouth , October 1, 2019
Roof looks really good. The team worked really hard were tidy,quiet,very polite, respectful and pleasant to have on site. The finished job looks really brilliant. I know a friend of mine who is contacting you for a roof job he needs doing. Thanks Mark for picking the team and doing the job on time as outlined and as estimated. Good professional service.

D Breingan from Sidmouth , August 14, 2019
MFS were very prompt in repairing our chimney flashing, in fact they did the job the same day I phoned them.
They did a good job, and the charge was fair for the work done.
★★★★★
Mr Casban from Sidmouth , August 7, 2019
Mark Small is the man! I thoroughly recommend him to anyone. He repaired a soakaway which had been poorly installed by another local builder who had cut corners.
He took the lawn up, dug a long, deep trench which was filled with stones and drainage, then replaced everything. They put the lawn back and you can’t even see where they’ve been. He’s definitely my first choice of builder from now on.
★★★★
Jacqui skinner from Sidmouth , September 23, 2018
Mark did up old house for us. He talked us through every stage. Sometimes it was not easy accepting things were in a worse state of repair than we thought but on inspection it always checked out.Mark is helpful and explains things very well so you understand what is going on. To be honest I have learnt so much from discussions with him on jobs that I feel fairly confident I can spot problems myself before they become to big a disaster these days.
★★★★★
Cliff jones from Sidmouth , July 30, 2018

Don & Anne Jones from Sidmouth , June 29, 2017
If a job needs doing, it should be done properly. Mark Small and his team achieve perfection in all they do. They work with utmost efficiency and skill, are polite and friendly, offer advice when asked and always clear up after a job has been completed. Mark leads a truly excellent team who cannot be surpassed.
★★★★★

I have just had Mark Fater Small to give my house a complete redecorate outside. Mark and his team have done a lovely job, and I’m delighted with the result, and would definitely recommend them to all.

We have used Mark for a number of jobs and cannot praise him enough. Excellent service, he is always willing to assist in emergencies and all his work is completed to a high standard. Would be happy to recommend him.
SJ Burge from Newton Poppleford , March 22, 2017

Excellent service, Came out very quickly for a very small job.
Also larger work done. Very pleased and would recommend him.
D Saunders from Sidmouth , January 22, 2017
I own a number of properties and I have no hesitation in recommending MFS Buliders who have carried out maintenance and repair work for me for several years. The firm owned by Mark Small is knowledgeable, helpful and competitive.
Jennifer from Sidmouth , December 23, 2016
I can't say how pleased I am with them. The whole workforce were extremely good and cleaned up well after themselves. I really can't praise them enough and I'd certainly use them again in the future.
Graham S from Sidmouth , December 10, 2016
We had a garden wall built. They did an excellent job with no mess and very good value for money. Mark and his team are friendly and trustworthy.
Annie Eaton from Sidmouth , October 10, 2016
Mark is good and trustworthy. I've just had him round to check on my guttering and roofing before the winter. You can really trust him not to do things that don't need doing.
Susan Sykes from Sidmouth , June 11, 2016
I had a problem when a friend took out my Velux window and was unable to fit it back in!

I phoned Mark, he explained how busy he was but still came first thing in the morning and fitted it for me. Would definately not only recommend but use in the future.

Thank you
Caroline Brown from Sidmouth , February 23, 2016
Our small but much needed guttering job was carried out promptly and without fuss, despite MFS being extremely busy and in demand, for all the right reasons. We will definitely be using MFS again for more major work as soon as they are available!
(Anon by telephone) from Sidmouth , February 15, 2016
Mark was up within the hour of calling. Did a superb job, sorted my leak for me and cleaned up afterwards. Very worthwhile, sensible prices.
Brian Diffey from Sidmouth , February 7, 2016
High quality, professional service carried out in a pleasant manner. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Fuller from Sidmouth , November 21, 2015
roofing work neatly carried out and job left clean and tidy
A Parker from Sidmouth , November 18, 2015
For Roof repair and exterior decorating. It was evident early on that these were the right people to do the work, and it was worth the wait to get them. They are in demand, but that's for a good reason. More than happy with the final result. Polite and more importantly, very good at what they do.
C Powell from Sidmouth , November 15, 2015
Just a small guttering job but MFS happily carried it out quickly and courteously, leaving everything neat and tidy. I would certainly recommend them.
Ian Cartwright from Farway, Colyton , November 14, 2015
Although the work we required was not large it was dealt with promptly and at a reasonable price. We would definitely use this business again.
