Hear from our happy homeowners…

“You build your dream home only once in a lifetime. With utmost professionalism and minimal stress, the team from Thistle managed to translate our dream into a beautiful reality. We love it!”

Jimmy Field

“What I liked best about Thistle was the guys, the workmanship they put in, and just great people to deal with.”

Chris Davidson

“You’d be hard pressed to find a better company to deal than Thistle – their quality was excellent and their painters and kitchen joinery suppliers did their workmanship justice. They have done a fantastic job and we really appreciated the attention to detail that they provided. Follow up after the build is great too.”

Scott & Lucy McKenzie

“We’d engaged an architect, and we wanted a building company that was going to do justice to the design plans.”

Doug Carter

“The communication was really good while we were building. It was really easy to get hold of Thistle, which is good when you’re juggling working and children.”

Ben and Holly Winder

“The quality was really exceptional. We’ve been very very happy with everything that was done.”

Jim and Leslie Simmons

“The standard of work was first class and the build process was very smooth from start to finish. We were kept well informed at every stage of the build so that there were no unpleasant surprises and the Builders trend program ensured that we could keep track of any variations.”
