## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Sylvester is an honest, hard working, prompt and helpful person, we trust him that we always have left our houses keys with him for many months. He and his great team have done lots of work for us in the last 10 years, 2 large homes extensions, garden slabs, rebuilt outside damaged walls, plastering, new bathrooms, windows, doors and he once lent us his company van to collect a big fridge freezer. He is polite, knowledgeable, easy going happy person and he managed all our projects from start to finish without any major issues."

The quality of work is superb, communication was spot on all whilst keeping to the timeline and budget. Very tidy too, may I add. We will of course be contacting Sylvester for our next project! Thank you again!"

## 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.
