## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Luke took the trouble to assess the requirement a few days earlier so that he could fit it in sensibly with his schedule. Having agreed a date, he turned up promptly and wasted no time in setting himself up to do the work which he completed entirely to our satisfaction by the end of the morning! We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for his skills and requiring a highly professional finish and approach."

## 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.
