## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Mateusz was the ultimate professional. His initial advice was extremely helpful. He organised ordering and delivery of all parts and his work was exceptional with incredible attention to detail and final finishing. He worked really long days, arriving early as arranged, and always spent time at the end of his day cleaning and tidying before leaving. Minor, unexpected issues that arose were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our bathroom and kitchen have been transformed thanks to Mateusz and his lovely wife Ella, who is a meticulous painter! We have no hesitation in recommending this company"

> "Matt, completely re fit my bathroom after having a bad experience with a previous builder. The workmanship is the best I have ever seen very meticulous in what matt does. There was a lot more work than I think was expected at the beginning but I am very happy with the outcome cannot rate the work highly enough. I will definitely be asking matt do do other jobs for me in future."

## 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.
