At each stage, Michael communicates well and gives his professional advice for the best outcome. He is always on time and cleans up thoroughly. I have receommeded Michael to friends and would not hestitate in recommending him to anyone."

> "Our family have used Michael several times, so his high quality job was no surprise. We required shelving in both alcoves in our front room. He visited us to discuss and made some good suggestions from which we selected our preferred approach. He next sent us a CAD drawing to agree, then built to spec. His design is much more than just shelves but rather complete made to measure units built into both alcoves, extending slightly out from each with no gaps and a wrap-around decorative headpiece providing a very professional finish and giving the room a very attractive look."

## 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.
