## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Was more than happy with the work Joe done an excellent job and would highly recommend him"
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Joe is very reliable and his work is top notch. He has also carried out various maintenance work for the lettings agency I work for and the tenants and landlords were very happy with the work. Several of my neighbours have also had Joe do work for them and were really pleased with the results."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Joe repainted parts of the exterior of my 1930s house, he was meticulous and took care to match the type, style and colour to the existing mortar. You can hardly tell the new from the old and it has blended in really well to the rest of the house. Joe is a hard worker, pays great attention to detail, and is trustworthy and reliable. He also has his own scaffolding and is very reasonably priced."

## 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.
