## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "An excellent job from start to finish. Lewis and his team have a strong work ethic. Great communication and prompt time scale with attention to detail. Would definitely recommend."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "This was the second job that Lewis has done for me. He and his assistant installed drainage around my patio, the effect's of which were immediately evident. Again he is so keen to please and very tidy in his work. Although there was a little headache in altering the piping from the kitchen/dishwasher he solved the problem. Would recommend him without fail."

> "Just bought a house to find an unfinished open fireplace hiding behind a standing mantle piece. Lewis responded quickly and came over to have a look when arranged. After discussing options Lewis and his labourer arrived a few days later to complete the job. They were both very professional, polite and did a fantastic job. I’m very pleased with the end result."

## 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.
