## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Jamie was fantastic, and completed the job to a high standard which exceeded our expectations"
> — Victoria P (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "We feel very lucky to have found Jamie when we did as we had been let down by two builders prior to meeting him. It just so happened he had availability and we have not looked back since. We were knocking through to make open plan kitchen diner with bifold doors and bifold windows at the back. Jamie brings the perfect mindset and demeanour to these types of jobs, he doesn’t get stressed or flustered and is able to think creatively and proactively to make your ideas a reality. He is a real pro and you won’t go wrong hiring him."

> "Abode built a large extension to our home, including kitchen and we were delighted with the results. They also created a brilliant patio and outdoor space. They liaised with building control at the end of the project to get it all signed off. Always on time and on budget with great communication and so would highly recommend."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
