## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Richard and his team of trades were outstanding throughout. He has high standards and applies them to any challenge during the project. We have an old house and we unearthed various problems including damp. Richard found solutions for all of these issues. Despite us adding additional work he finished within his original time scale. The finished product is way beyond what we could of dreamed of thanks to Richard. We will definitely be using Forest Edge 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.
