## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Ground clearance, excavation and footings all started and completed on time. Kept site tidy. Dealt with necessary Buildings Control and helped me in the submitted process. Great communication. Highly recommend so far."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "We are currently having a new extension built and the whole house is being completely renovated. The first step was to remove the old extension. Dean and Peter who have helped me on previous internal alterations kept me updated with an approx start date for the job and they managed to start the job alot earlier than expected. During the removal of the old extension i was away on business and the property was left empty for the works. Dean and Peter took care of the house and removed the extension in no time. On my return everything had been skipped away and left clean and tidy. Great service!"

> "Work started as described very promptly on the first day, with the garage door being removed and the skip being delivered. The job has progressed quickly and with very little mess especially since the wall to the living room was knocked through to have doors fitted. Electrician and plumber were called out within a matter of days and boxing in/plastering has come together very quickly! Pleased with the work so far!"

## 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.
