## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We were pleased with the work that Cockman Builders did to repair and rebuild our chimney. In particular, the efforts that Jack Cockman made to complete it before the period of rain and to leave the site clean and tidy."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Dave was able to quote the work quickly and get us in as soon as the ordered steel arrived. The work was done by Jak and Sam. They completed the work quickly and left the work area clean and tidy both when finished and at the end of each day. They were polite and professional. I can't recommend them enough."

> "I had an extension at the start of lock down, Dave and his boys were amazing. They we so professional, clean - whenever there was an issue, they came up solutions. It was a very tricky time - but they managed everything, and were just brilliant. We had other tradesmen come around to give us a quote, as it was such a difficult build (it is on a hill), they didn't even follow up on their quote - it was really disappointing. Luckily the job didn't phase Dave. A massive thank you to Dave, Sam, Steve and Jack - I would hesitate to recommend them."

## 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.
