## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Really happy with the work Alan and Alan have done. They were reliable, trustworthy and very pleasant to deal with. They specialise in brickwork and rebuilt a crumbling back wall and brick garage, redesigning the structure and coming up with creative solutions, including a roof with guttering. They were also able to do some brick repair work at the front of the house and remove, brick up, plaster and pebbledash an old window we wanted taking out. We would very happily use them again."

> "A.G.Builders is a father and son business and both are professional Bricklayers. They are extremely polite, punctual and helpful. They provided excellent advice in planning, costs and design and construction of the wall and clearly have a lifetime of experience. The quality of their brickwork, attention to detail and pointing is perfection. I asked for a new front garden wall and they provided a work of art! I couldn't be more pleased."

> "Alan and Alan took down an old garden structure for us and built a new brick wall, arch for a side gate and a further arch and piers for a gazebo. Their communication was excellent throughout as was the quality of their work. They were adaptable when we changed our plans and also did a few small brickwork repair jobs on the house, which was very helpful. We intend to use them again in the spring and thoroughly recommend them as reliable and skilled local bricklayers and builders."

## 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.
