## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Dan turned up and was very polite. Quote came through when he said it would, price was agreed Then Dan and Ian turned up and started the work on the day agreed and finished the job on the day agreed. Both were polite and respectful, made my wife feel at ease. The work was completed to a good standard and everything was cleaned up each day, so very little mess. They done such a good job they are now coming back to do more work for us."

## 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.
