Then, on day 1 of the job, he again arrived on time, having checked in with me the day before. Throughout the whole process he's been super enthusiastic, explained everything really clearly and was respectful of my home and dog. The other trades that he worked with were also great and nothing was too much trouble (including a last-minute extra request from me). I'd definitely look to hire Aleks again and highly 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.
