## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Ian and team put in our dream kitchen and we're very happy 3 months on. Brilliant bunch of lads who worked hard to move one wall, take out another then put in a completely new kitchen. Whilst here they put down flooring across the whole of our downstairs and sorted out some very dubious plumbing we inherited with the house. Really friendly and came in on budget with all work costed in advance and laid out clearly. Ian made sure we knew what was happening at all times and was able to provide extra trades as and when needed. He also sorted planning and a surveyor to ensure it was all legal."

> "Ian and his team completed our dream outside balcony extension. They were professional and competent throughout the work and kept us informed on each step of the way. Neat and tidy work all the way and I would highly recommend Ian Brookes."

> "Fantastic experience with Ian and his team. We couldn't be more delighted with the finished build. The workmanship is top quality and fits our requirements perfectly. The team are exceptionally considerate and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again if we ever needed anything in the future."

## 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.
