## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We gained 3 quotes from Checkatrade members for painting the exterior of our house. Laurie came and did a thorough walk thorough with us, asking what needed to be done etc. He promised to get the quote over to us within 2 days, and he did. His rates were competitive, but it was his personality and the photos of his previous work that confirmed our choice. They began work and all I can say is 'wow'. Laurie, Ray and Georgie were fantastic. Attention to detail, tidiness, work ethic and pure talent!! Needless to say, Carter Suchley will be our first point of call. Highly recommended"

> "The guys at Cartersuchley building services were fantastic! Carried out the work efficiently and with no issues! Their work is of the highest standard and they were all very polite and friendly and made sure they kept everything tidy as they worked! Would definitely recommend and will 100% be using in the future!"

> "Carter-Suchley reversed the door on my downstairs toilet, enabling it to open outwards rather than inwards. Cut and adjusted part of my kitchen counter top, small storage space and fitted plug for my cooker. Fixed loose floorboard on landing. Friendly and helpful."

## 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.
