## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Started prompt on Monday morning, I teed off as normal, showed them where the tea and coffee was and by the end of the week, it was all done and dust, really impressed with his workmanship and involved me in every detail along the way. Highly recommend."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Brilliant job, Ian is a true perfectionist in his craft and did a beautiful job hanging 5 x internal doors. Always leaving everything hoovered, clean and tidy at the end of each day. So helpful and knowledgeable too on other home improvement projects I am considering. Highly recommend."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "I was very fortunate to engage Ian Douglas for the renovation of my lounge. Removal of a 1970's sandstone fireplace, sandstone bar, building new chimney breast, laying 80 square metes of hardwood flooring, building a bespoke staircase (which is outstanding, supply and fitting of 10 new doors and boxing in the electrical box. Excellent work. Ian put me in contact with a first class plasterer, Marty Douglas. Also a first class electrical contractor, Trevor Dawson. I would recommend Ian Douglas to anyone who wants quality work with dates being kept on schedule. Outstanding over a few months."

## 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.
