## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We spent over a year with Rob and his entire team. They are all excellent craftsmen and very good at what they do. We are delighted with all the work and excellent finish. The team were very accommodating and helpful with suggestions and last minute changes. All neighbours up and down the road were very complimentary not only with our build but with Forest Oak themselves. We have no hesitation in recommending Forest Oak."

> "The Forest Oak team did an amazing job. They were flexible, stuck to budget and the quality of finish was excellent. All the guys that worked on site were good to get along with and accommodated any changes to scope quickly and efficiently. Every day they left the site as tidy as it could have been. I would strongly recommend Forest Oak."
> — Paul J (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "We had a side extension bedroom with en-suite, a conversion of conservatory to habitable room, external render, new windows and a large front porch. We were impressed with the workmanship and decided to also have the timbers of the roof replaced. All Rob and Rays team are professional, trustworthy and do an excellent job, and importantly for us, do not cut corners. We are delighted with the results. We have had lots of comments from passers by about the improvement to our home as it now has kerb appeal. I wouldn’t hesitate to use these guys again and would thoroughly 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.
