## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "CF Oakes recently refurbed my mother's bathroom into a wet room. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of the work. The room carefully designed, beautifully finished and tiled from floor to ceiling and the workmanship is top-notch. We were particularly impressed with how clean and tidy the tradesmen left the space, it was as if they had never even been there! We truly cannot fault them. Really nice people too. If you're in need of a bathroom refurb, we highly recommend CF Oakes."

I cannot fault Tom and Sam that carried out the works 2 lovely professional guys. Cleannesses standard of work absolutely amazing. Please don’t forget these guys carried out all the works from tiling/electrics/plastering/plumbing no waiting for other contractors to come it’s all done by the same company. The works took 9 days fully ripped out to completion.Thank you."

## 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.
