> "We engaged Phil and team to do a side extension, build a porch and other home improvements. I wouldn’t hesitate to instruct Phil again. His pricing is fair and transparent and the workmanship is excellent."

> "Many thanks to Phil and the whole team for their great work, opening up our kitchen-diner and installing a flat roof, and constructing timber framed dormers on our 1940s bungalow, and creating various openings and structural works. They were reliable, flexible and completed the work to a high standard ahead of schedule - and they were happy to suit our requirements for a shell only build, and focused on making things work! We're delighted with the works and enjoyed having the team onsite. Very transparent and easy to work with."

## 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.
