## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Darren has just completed a patio which has transformed a previously unused part of my garden. I am delighted with the end result and it was a bonus to work with Darren and Gerwyn throughout the process. They are a great team....Reliable, skilful, professional, conscientious and committed to the task. What's more they care about what they are doing, respecting your property as they would treat their own homes. Top recommendation, 5 star service and on speed dial for future work!"
> — Judith (5.0, via Thomson Local)

> "Very pleased with the new patio laid by Darren and his team. They were professional, efficient and helpful, resolving any problems they encountered quickly and thoroughly. Would highly recommend."
> — Arlene (5.0, via Thomson Local)

> "Daren and his assistant Gerwyn just completed a 2m high, 14.5m long garden party wall construction in double concrete block at my house in Blackwood. Having interviewed several builders, I knew within minutes of him measuring up the site and beginning to discuss our options that whatever his price, Darren would get the job. He is keen, fair and calculated on pricing and accurate in his estimating. He is open minded and willing to think about how best to achieve the optimum result that is what he and Gerwyn achieved. They are an excellent working team and I unhesitatingly recommend D J Hopkins building services. Darren is only interested in executing the best work. My advice is don't mess him around on price, he is completely trustworthy and don't look for the cheapest option, he is not the cheapest but he is the best because he is intelligent and skillful. He enjoys working with architects and I enjoyed working with him. Five stars...a breath of fresh air in the Valleys."

## 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.
