Read moreMark, Kirsty and their team were great to work with for our knock down and rebuild. They were there with us every step of the way from making suggestions during the planning stage, to choosing cabinetry and fittings and keeping us constantly updated on progress. We are so in love with the home that Grey Slate have created for our family. Even better that it was ahead of schedule. They made the building process an enjoyable one.

Building with Mark, Kirsty and the Grey Slate Team was such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The quality of our build is exceptional with Grey Slate only using highly qualified trades and suppliers, which stands out in our beautiful home. Mark was so accommodating and professional during the entire process and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! We highly recommend Mark, Kirsty and the team and thank Grey Slate for our stunning home, it was a fantastic experience.

Read more⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Grey Slate Construction – Mark & Kirsty Johnson What can I say about Mark and Kirsty at Grey Slate Construction except that they are truly extraordinary in this day and age! In a world where good work ethic can be hard to find, Mark’s integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine care were a breath of fresh air. From the moment the build began, he treated our home as if it were his own, working with pride and joy that was inspiring to watch. Mark kept the site impeccably clean and showed remarkable respect for our neighbours. A standout moment for me was seeing him treat our 95-year-old neighbour, Irene, with such kindness — even collecting her newspaper each morning and placing it at her front door. Small gestures like this speak volumes about his character. Visitors often stopped to admire his skill and dedication, and I can honestly say it was a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. The aftercare has been just as impressive — handled with professionalism, perfection, and genuine care for our satisfaction. Mark and Kirsty, thank you for building our homes with such heart. Your work ethic, respect, and kindness have set a standard that’s rare to find. I will recommend Grey Slate Construction to anyone who wants not just a builder, but a team who takes pride in creating something beautiful and lasting. — A truly grateful client Anne

Read moreGrey Slate Constructions initially built us a workshop/granny flat which blends perfectly with our home. The process and result was excellent, so of course we didn’t hesitate to use them again when we were thinking of windows to enclose our Alfresco for use in the winter months. Mark was very responsive, helpful and able to give us some great options and ideas. The work was completed promptly and efficiently. We would not hesitate to recommend Grey Slate for future building/renovations and can’t speak highly enough of him and his team. Thanks for making our building experience so enjoyable. Patricia N.

Read moreRenovating a family home is a really big deal! We feel fortunate to have had the Grey Slate team to guide us through the process and bring to life the vision for our beautiful home. Both Mark & Kirsty are great communicators and were able to keep us on track and fill our knowledge gaps (there were PLENTY) while we were living elsewhere. Renovating a house that has heritage overlays and size constraints is not simple but the Grey Slate team made it seamless and got our family into our fresh home swiftly and honestly stress-free! Thanks again Grey Slate!
