## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "The whole experience was great. Gary was really knowledgeable and helped bring our ideas in to a practical layout whilst keeping costs down. All of his contractors were professional, timely, clean and completed work to an exceptional quality. Nothing was too much of an ask and he was really transparent with costs, timelines and limitations of the property/space."
> — Kevin T (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "I was really impressed with the work BDS builders carried out for us in our home. Everything was completed to a high quality - building work, plastering, plumbing and tiling. Gary’s communication throughout the work was spot on. I thoroughly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future."
> — Emma G (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Gary and his team (Phil, Murray, Euan) have provided an exceptional all-round professional experience during the construction of our house extension in Sunderland. Completed Aug 2025. The whole experience has been excellent. No problem too tricky to solve. There has been a dedicated focus on us as customers (and clients), responding to many difficult asks and building challenges. We would unreservedly recommend Gary and his team for the professional and courteous manner the work has been carried out. Many thanks."

## 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.
