_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Sam and Chris completed works in our kitchen (knocking down walls, lintels, new sliding doors and plastering) and bedroom works (new window, blocking up chimney and plastering) Both Sam and Chris are such lovely guys - helpful, patient and clear - as first time renovators this was much appreciated. Their communication was spot on from the start and throughout the process. Couldn’t recommend them more and will definitely get them back for future works!"

> "Simon & Chris at CSDesign provided works & support services to complete our garage conversion. The service from CS was to liaise with the local council to fully understand the brief to completion and issue of building regs certification. Sam & Chris were extremely reliable, and highly professional in everything they did. The quality of their workmanship was exceptional without fault. They openly engaged with us and the council on every aspect of the works we felt fully informed throughout. Can highly recommend CSDesign and will for sure use them again in the future."

## 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.
