## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Josh installed a breakfast bar in our new open plan kitchen with custom storage in the bar. He also reinforced a wall with extra support and mounted our TV on a moveable bracket. It’s worked out perfectly we can see the TV from the sofa or pull it out and turn it to face the breakfast bar. It’s exactly what we were after and he’s a really friendly and helpful chap. He was happy to answer any question and have me a good understanding of what was the best way to go about it."

> "Having recently moved into our property, Joshua gave us a very competitive quote and completed all of the work in a timely manner. I was impressed with the quality and design ideas for our cottage, encompassing very old parts of the building and a new extension. Great communication and specialist trade connections which made the project go smoothly"

## 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.
