About us

Get Turner Ltd is a successful, family-run business established in East London in 2006 by owner and Managing Director, Mark Turner. Mark has 40 years’ experience in the construction industry and extensive technical expertise in all facets of building work. The company has developed and expanded considerably, from taking on small local jobs to managing high-end extensions, loft and basement conversions, refurbishments and new-build projects in East and North London.

“Our clients generally spend six-figure sums on extending and improving their properties. When choosing a contractor, of course cost is a major factor, but our clients don’t just look for the cheapest option, they want the whole package – an experienced, professional company they can trust to do a great job and give them real value for their money.”
