## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Very pleased with the work done. Ollie communicated things like starting times etc very well which help things go smoothly, he made sure things were kept tidy, and was polite and friendly."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Ollie hung 14 solid oak doors including two for new openings that required door stops and one with a tricky threshold that needed work to make it blend in properly. He also made 2 pairs of bespoke cabinet doors in oak for a new media wall. Throughout the job, Ollie was hard-working, tidy and professional. He has excellent attention to detail and goes the extra mile to make everything perfect. He was the best worker we've had on-site during our recent small renovations and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him."

## 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.
