## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Marc was very reliable and honest with what he could achieve and the costs involved, for me that was crucial. And lastly I am so pleased with the job he did for me! I would definitely recommend Marc!"
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Marc was amazing. We had a whole new kitchen which involved knocking a wall down and a brand new layout. Marc did everything including plumbing and electrics and his workmanship was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble and he took his time to get everything perfect. We have already recommended him to two friends and family members and we intend to have him back for future projects. We cannot recommend him highly enough."

> "Marc did an amazing knock-through to open my kitchen and dining room up. He helped plan and design the new kitchen and built it beautifully! He has since made me a matching cabinet- which is equally lovely! Top nice and genuine guy! Hoping he’s coming back soon to make me a new back gate!"

## 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.
