## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Kevin and his team did a cut roof for us September 2025. They turned up as scheduled, did an amazing job in very good time. What was just a pile of timber on a pallet turned into our amazing new roof with velux fitted in less than 2 days !! Highly skilled, highly recommend."

> "The single storey extension I required for which I had recently planning permission was completed on time and within budget. The various tradesmen arrived when required and were always friendly and diligent, when I asked for some late minor changes they were done without fuss. Mr Milford visited the site several times to check progress, standard of work and to pre order materials for the next stage. I opted to do my own decorating and was given tips on how to proceed. I am more than satisfied with the overall experience and very happy with the builder recommended to me"

> "We chose Kilford Building Services for our project to build a single-storey extension to replace an old conservatory, plus significant renovations to the house. From start to finish they were easy to work with and communicated clearly throughout the project. The work was completed to a high standard and the building team were friendly, professional, and helpful. The project stayed within the original estimate, although we decided to add further work during the build, all the additions were costed and agreed in advance. The project is now complete, and we would happily recommend them."

## 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.
