## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "James removed our old hall floor to replace with tiles. The original joists had to be strengthened and the floor levelled so it was much more work than we had anticipated, however James kept us informed and put in a lot of hard work rectifying what previous owners had done. Polite, friendly and with meticulous attention to detail. It looks amazing! Would highly recommend."

> "James quickly inspected the job to provide quote and explained the works required. He provided helpful steer on suitability of tiles/grout/vanity unit before we purchased them knowing the space available/natural light in our bathroom. He was able to re-install the existing shower door. Really tidy throughout and always on time/kept informed of progress."

## Before you hire a roofer
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
- Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
- Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
- A major re-roof must meet building regulations. Prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
