## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Allan took down an old shed for us and in place built a soundproofed garden room. Allan and his other contractors were all a pleasure to have around and did a great job on the build. The work was carried out to a high standard and done within the timeframe he had said as well as exactly to the quote he gave us before starting the work. I would happily hire Allan for future work and would recommend him to anyone looking to have work done."

> "I can’t recommend Allan and his team highly enough. From start to finish, the quotation through to the completed job, everything was handled brilliantly. Allan is very friendly and approachable, kept us well informed at every stage of the job and completed the work amazingly quickly and to an exemplary standard. We’re so pleased with the work and will definitely be contacting Allan again for any future jobs."

## 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.
