## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We have been really impressed with Josh who has fitted 8 oak internal doors to our home. Each door was a different size and the frames needed making good. Josh worked with a colleague. They were professional arriving each day on time. Communication was excellent and when plans needed to change Josh would discuss the details with us making suggestions but allowing us to make the final decisions. We are really pleased with the finished work, all completed to the agreed price. At the end of the of the work they left the rooms in good order. We thoroughly recommended and will use again."

> "Josh and his team fitted our new kitchen and he was absolutely brilliant. Prompt responses to our questions, going above and beyond to help with any changes/queries we had for Howdens and ensuring the final finish was exactly what we wanted. Couldn’t recommend Josh enough!"

## 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.
