## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Ian was excellent. He undertook the work very quickly, kept the area tidy and did various other jobs along the way that might otherwise have caused a delay. We have already asked him to quote for some other work we need doing and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "The work was carried out in a professional and efficient manner often in very difficult weather conditions and the sight was left clean and tidy"
> — Anonymous (4.9, via Checkatrade)

> "We chose to go with LBC again after successfully using them 2 years ago. The work did take longer than anticipated due to various reasons, but we are happy with the outcome of the work in the end. We were kept updated with photos and were able to inspect the work by being taken up the scaffolding."

## 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.
