## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Sometimes you need relatively small building/carpentry jobs done and it is great to get someone who is very experienced and totally trustworthy to do them. Jason's team removed and replaced large and quite wide wooden window sills from a sunlounge in a 100 year old house, replastering the inadequate surface which was revealed beneath work which could not be quoted for. The result is excellent. Last year we had external doors replaced and they work perfectly, this time another external door was kept but its frame was replaced. We did our own painting of all new wood. Extremely pleased."

> "Jason installed a large 4m x 4m aluminium pergola on short notice - great job, no fuss & very pleased with the result. Good communication whilst arranging the job. Would use again & recommend."

> "I have used LT a number of times and the work is always excellent, transparent with price, helpful and happy to work with change and surprises! The team are friendly and clear up after themselves each evening which is helpful. I fond cups of tea slices of cake and the odd bacon sandwich keeps them happy and even more motivated than they are. Joking aside if you want a good job at a fair price be confident in contacting and working with 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.
