> "Tim, Ardit and team have done two projects for us. They completely rebuilt our home in 2018/19 and we were so impressed by their work and the trust they had built up, we invited them back to build a garden office/gym in 2021. All the team are courteous and polite, as well as being highly skilled. There were less than a handful of issues throughout over a year of building work and all were rectified within days of occurring, sometimes within hours. If we were ever to do further work there's only one team we'd choose!"

## 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.
