## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Plastered, painted and renewed woodwork in our living room. Sam done a fantastic job and was a pleasure to deal with throughout. The end result was faultless and will recommend highly in the future."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "After initially getting Sam in to fix the hole in my roof (see previous review - new roof trays, fascia and guttering) I was so pleased with the work that was carried out that I got him and his company back in to complete plastering throughout the house. Just like before they did a perfect job both with the quality of the work carried out, their tidiness, reliability and how helpful they were. Couldn't be more pleased!"

## 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.
