_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Dobsons were excellent, we had complete confidence in everything they did. From the outset comms were exemplary with a shared WhatsApp group, constantly monitored. There was never a delay in answers although there were very few Q’s as they were upfront in telling us what was happening & what we needed to know. Project management was seamless & all workmen polite, friendly, talented & a pleasure to have around & they treated the job & our home as if it was their own. It is rare to feel 100% satisfied with any service but there is genuinely no negatives we have. We can’t thank Dobsons enough."

## 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.
