> "Very pleased with the high standard of work carried out. As my house is an older house Ken salvaged the old door frame to use as I would not be able to buy one now to match the rest of the house. He was very pleasant and I enjoyed our chats. I would definitely recommend him and will be using him again for other jobs I have around the house"

## 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.
