Professional and always friendly, totally trustworthy and reliable. The quality of work was very high and Martin had some great ideas like built in, flush wardrobes which we went with and were delighted with. Stuck to the price quoted and timescale expected, I would highly recommend Martin and will certainly be giving him a call for any future work."

## 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.
