## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Cooke & Lock are a very professional company who do a great job to a very high standard. They are very reliable & clear about pricing & payment plans. Tradesman turn up on site when they are due & you are kept well informed about who will be arriving & when & what will be done on the day. I have had an extension built by this company & it was done within the 8 week time frame & met completely with building regs. Recently had deckboards & fence panels replaced & a hot tub cut up & cleared. Very pleased with the all the works that have been completed. The tradesmen always tidy up too. 5 STAR"

The team were always clean and tidy which is a huge plus for me. The team and very friendly and they know their stuff. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the future for any other projects."

> "I used Cooke and Locke for a 6 week house project, which included rewiring, plastering, new woodwork, full decoration. Sam was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process stress-free. Everything was planned meticulously and organised well with the works carried out to a high standard. I am so pleased with the finished works. Communication was excellent and work was carried out reliably and to time scale. Sam expertly provided advice ahead of and during the project. I 100% recommend Cooke and Locke and will not hesitate to use them again."

## 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.
