## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Amazing work carried out by Jon and his team making our house into a home. From start to finish, the project run smoothly with guys on site 8am every day. All of The team are friendly and they accommodated all our neighbours. Jon is always on the end of phone no matter what time of day for any questions or changes we had. We couldnt of asked for a better company to carry out a massive project to our home and would recommend them everytime. The work carried out is to high spec and can not fault any of it. These are not your typical builders these are the best around!"

> "I initially contacted BLL in 2021. Jon arrived and discussed what I to achieve.I was struggling to get planning permission and went to appeal to finally get it over a year later. Jon was so understanding and patient,but promptly returned to agree a start date so that I could finally get going.His guidance was brilliant.He immediately spotted errors on the architectural drawings that would have caused major problems to the build later on,if not spotted in time. Comm were regular and the BLL team started promptly and finished the loft within the given time.I would highly recommend BLL to anyone."

> "The loft conversion was completed on time and is exactly what was promised and designed and of high quality. The first floor involved moving a wall and demolition of chimneys and conversion of a room to a bathroom. This work was not easy and even though we were living in the property the work was done extremely efficiently."

## 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.
