## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I contacted Jim and he was brilliant. He came out looked at the job and provided me with a detailed estimate. He kept me informed re the beam and once it was in we confirmed the date for work to commence. He arrived when he said he would, and both him and his labourer Stuart were friendly and extremely tidy. They did an excellent job on the partition."

## 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.
