## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Ben and Luke and the team did a fantastic job - they were efficient, diligent and very professional and they also have a great network in the trade. We are really pleased with the finish!

> "Cotes Builders did a great Job ... Luke and Ben have a great team of trades, they are friendly and amenable always happy to discuss the project. It was within the time scales and in budget I will be using them again"
> Source: Anonymous (4.9, via Checkatrade)

> "The scope included the removal of internal wall, and extension to existing kitchen and dining room, plus installation of kitchen and all services. This created an open plan kitchen and much enhanced living area with roof skylight. Quotation stated timelines of 10/12 weeks, project completed within this timescale despite extra works to garden fencing and driveway that were not originally included in scope of works. The guys were all engaging and reliable with a very good standard of workmanship achieved. We are very pleased with end result and would contract again plus recommend."

## 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.
