## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Scott took over the project after our previous contractor badly let us down. Firstly, Scott was one of the only people prepared to take the task on and has been working with us since earlier this year. Nothing but praise for Scott and his team. They've done a fantastic job and I would not hesitate to use him again. He is very personable, honest, hard-working and knowledgeable. He will go the extra mile to ensure you are satisfied and stands behind his work. I wish I knew Scott before we started the build and got it right the first time!"

> "Scott (the building services Director) came to view the job. A very friendly personality who gave some (as it turned out) accurate insight to the job and a competitive price. The work was carried within the timescale he quoted and completed to my satisfaction. The quality of the workmanship was excellent. During the work, it was noticed we had a problem with an adjoining roof. This was additional work but was completed within the originally quoted timescale and with minimum of fuss. I was very happy with all of the work and have no hesitation in recommended this company."

> "Superb from start to finish. Helped with the design, material choice and carried out the work to a high standard. The work was completed within the timescales and at a great price. All rubbish was cleared at the end of the job and we couldn’t be happier. Since completion, I have actually had multiple strangers knock and ask for Scott’s details to carry out work for them."

## 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.
