Jimmy kept me updated on progress each day by showing me photos of what was being done, etc. I have been using Friend & Sons for the last five years for all my house repairs and decorating; Jimmy and his team are very reliable and have a high standard of work, and I would highly recommend Friend & Sons to anyone for their house repairs and decorating."

## 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.
