// Meet Chris
One person runs your job, start to finish.
There’s one person to call, and it’s the person who made you the promise.
I’m Chris. I started MT Developments after five years on the tools and an engineering degree. I do the first visit, the design and the price myself, and I manage every build personally.

- Chris, start to finish
“Chris helped us plan out the design from the start. He listened to what we wanted, showed us different layouts and material options, and then mocked up a few visuals to help us picture it properly. … It’s completely transformed our garden … it feels like we’ve added an extra room to the house.”
“MT Developments gave a competitive price and probably the best communication pre and post works of any trades company I have dealt with. The guys on site were super nice, worked really fast and cleaned away. … Couldn’t be happier and would be happy to recommend.”
“They redesigned our whole back garden and it’s made a huge difference. Chris listened to what we wanted and showed us 3D drawings so we could see how it would look before the work started. … We now spend so much more time outside … 100% recommend.”
// Our guarantees
In writing, before you commit.
What happens if something goes wrong, and whether the price will hold, are the two big worries with any building job. Here is what we put in writing.
Fixed price
It doesn’t move if the job takes longer or our costs go up. Only something nobody could have seen, like a buried structure, can change it, and never without your signature.
Ten-year structural guarantee
Ten years on the sub-base, the part that decides whether your paving stays flat.
Two-year workmanship cover
If something we installed fails within two years, we come back and fix it at no charge.
£5m public liability
You and your home are insured from the first day on site to the last.
The guarantee goes with the house if you sell it.

What to know before you start.
The questions people ask us most. Anything else, call us on 01582 377 593.
See the full processIs the consultation really free?
Yes. There’s no charge for the consultation and no obligation afterwards.
Will you give me a price on the day?
No. A price guessed on the doorstep is usually wrong, because it can’t account for your ground, access and drainage. We work it out properly and go through it with you on the design call, where you can see what each option changes.
What if you find something unexpected in the ground?
Harder digging or awkward ground is our problem, and the price holds. The only exception is something nobody could have spotted beforehand: a buried structure, seriously unstable ground, or asbestos. If that happens, we stop work in that area, show you photos, explain it in writing, and nothing extra is done or charged until you’ve agreed and signed.
How long will it take?
It depends on the job, so we don’t guess. Before we start, you get a confirmed window for the work, agreed with you.
Who will actually be on site?
Tradespeople we work with regularly, and for some parts specialists we bring in. Chris manages every build and answers for all of it, so you have one person to call.
Do you cover my area?
We work within about 20 miles of Dunstable: Luton, Leighton Buzzard, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and the towns and villages in between. If you’re not sure, call us and ask.
