## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "This is our second project with Lewis and I could not sing his and his team’s praises more! After our complete ground floor renovation with him we wanted to upscale our bathroom as our next project. Lewis listened to our vision and transformed the small room we had into something unique and spacious, turning our small bathroom into a design piece. From his meticulous tiling and ever perfect plastering, we are already planning our next project with him. The plumbing was executed to perfection, thank you Lewis and on to the next project!"

> "Lewis carried out the work plastering a bathroom and bedroom to a very high standard, efficiently and was extremely tidy. Our bathroom ended up being a bigger project than we had thought but Lewis happily adapted to our extra requests which we very grateful for. We have further work to do on other rooms so will be looking to use his services 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.
