> "Absolutely amazing work. Thrilled with the result. This is the fifth time I have used Kirby Construction. The first was for a roof repair at a previous home in Hythe, then for a more major roof repair plus replacement soffit boards and guttering at my current address. This was followed by construction of a new conservatory. Later It was for a garage conversion into a bedroom with en suite bathroom. All work completed to the highest standard in a professional but friendly, approachable manner. Already have another home improvement project lined up for September, if Daniel is not too busy.."

## 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.
