## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We have used Richard from Elmer Building Services many times including installing a new kitchen a few years ago and this month a new downstairs cloakroom / shower room. So helpful in advising what we needed, then purchased what we wanted and delivered and installed as and when needed - so we did not have rooms full of stuff! Richard also did all of the work - new ceiling, painting, tiling, plumbing, installing new kit and finishing off - a lovely job and so pleased. Great attention to detail and works around any problems he comes across. Highly recommended."

> "Richard followed up his good work of chimney and chimney breast removal in our kitchen, with a transformation of a 'kitchen from the Dark ages', to a beautiful modern kitchen. His attention to detail and reliability, along with his knowledgeable suggestions were much appreciated, (great work also by Tom). Hopefully we will be having him back to do our bathroom and toilet when we see his quote."

> "Elmer Building Services were friendly and reliable. They were knowledgeable about all subjects that I asked and answered all my questions relating to the work I wanted carried out. They did the work efficiently and effectively and I am very happy with the end results. I would strongly recommend them and will use them again in the 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.
