## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Contacted Fitzroy for a project of building a soundproof stud wall to reduce noise from my neighbour's house. He quickly came over for a quote and gave a very fair price for putting up the wall and building out my door frame and replacing the door (as the stud wall would interfere with the original door frame). The work was completed quickly and to a very high standard, I was very happy with the result. Shortly after completion I re-hired Fitzroy for another project and have several more lined up for him in the near future. Would highly recommend."

> "It was a no show by another company to come and quote, Fitzroy came the same day after I got in touch with him. He took the time to suggest ideas and explain my banister being replaced. He also made my loft hatch bigger with new ladder. He only came initially to do the banister and loft. Fitzroy ended up replacing 6 internal doors, including double doors. He also rebuilt my very dated coat cupboard from scratch, and has done a fantastic job on all the work I ended up asking him to do. He is a very nice guy, who takes pride in his work and respect for his customers. Definitely recommend."

## 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.
