## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Joe and his team (Jay and Jason) have been totally professional and excellent throughout the job. They would always let me know what’s the plan for each day, checking on things and making sure that it was ok before proceeding, tidying up at the end of the day and all in all excellent. The patio has been laid perfectly and I would highly recommend them"

Joe and Jay have brought our dark and unloved garden back to life for us to enjoy as a family. This has made our garden feel so much bigger even after taking some for our extension. They kept us informed all the time and gave suggestions and advice when looking at what we could do and we’re really good with the family when carrying out the work answer our kids questions Thank you!"

## 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.
