As always Chris is fastidious with respect to quality. Hardworking, trustworthy and a genuinely lovely person who is a pleasure to have around. Can’t recommend him enough."

He arranged for the plasterer and plumber to arrive when required and liaised with the electrician and kitchen installer. He also installed my old back door in the garage, reconstructed the path along the side of the house and sorted out the bathroom plumbing when the kitchen ceiling was removed. Chris was an excellent worker and very helpful. I am really pleased with my new kitchen/utility."

Very, very happy customer. Thanks Chris"

## 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.
