What we do

One Accountable Trade Team For The Whole Build

Most homeowners lose weeks chasing separate groundworkers, bricklayers and landscapers, and lose money where those trades meet. Surefoot covers the lot in-house, so the footings, the brickwork and the finished garden are set out by the same people who guarantee them.

Why Surefoot

The Standard You Would Expect If It Were Our Own Home

Brickwork is unforgiving. Set the footings out wrong and every course above it carries the error for the life of the building. That is why Michael Kirkbride runs Surefoot the way he does: qualified people, correct sequencing, and a written guarantee behind the finished work.

  • Qualified, not just experienced

    CSCS carded, SSSTS site supervisor trained, NVQ Level 6 and NHBC Masterclass. The accreditations that main contractors ask for, held as standard.

  • Insured to commercial levels

    £2,000,000 public liability and £10,000,000 employers' liability, so a domestic extension carries the same protection as a site job.

  • Priced to your project, not a price list

    Every quote is tailored to the actual scope. No padded standard rates, no surprise variations invented halfway through.

  • Staged payments, not one big cheque

    Payment is broken into stages you can see on site: deposit, DPC level, joist level, roof level, and the balance on completion. You pay as the work goes in.

  • Contracted and signed off

    Every job is covered by a written contract that protects both parties, and the work is taken through to full sign-off with building control.

  • Guaranteed after we leave

    A 2-year workmanship guarantee on every project, with a 10-year warranty available on request.

What clients say

Judged On The Finish, And On The Conduct

“Really pleased with the work from start to finish. They completed the footings and brickwork for our extension, with the brickwork finished to a really high standard.

    A written price built around your project rather than a generic rate card, with the scope set out clearly.

  4. 04

    Build & handover inspection

Where we work

Doncaster Based, Working Across South Yorkshire

Questions

Straight Answers Before You Commit

Anything not covered here, ask Michael directly on +44 7856 247499.

How do payments work?
We work on staged payments so you never pay far ahead of the work: a deposit to begin, then payments at DPC level, joist level and roof level, with the final balance due on completion.
Do you provide a contract?
Yes. Every project is covered by a written contract that sets out the scope and protects both parties, and the work is taken through to full sign-off with building control.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Doncaster and work across South Yorkshire and the surrounding region, including Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Scunthorpe, Leeds, Wakefield, York, Pontefract, Worksop, Selby and Goole.
Are you insured?
Yes. We hold public liability insurance up to £2,000,000 and employers' liability insurance up to £10,000,000.
What guarantee do you provide?
Every project is backed by a 2-year workmanship guarantee, and a 10-year warranty is available on request.
What qualifications does the team hold?
The team holds CSCS cards, SSSTS site supervisor safety training, NVQ Level 6 and NHBC Masterclass training.
How is a job priced?
Quotes are tailored to each project rather than taken from a fixed price list, because the scope of brickwork, groundworks and landscaping work varies considerably. Tell us what you have in mind and we will price it properly.
Do you take on work for builders as well as homeowners?
Yes. We work for homeowners and for builders and developers, and a good share of our work is repeat trade work.
