## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Had a rear extension, garage conversion and substantial renovation and changes to existing structure completed by Mike and the team. Cannot praise them highly enough! Completed ahead of time (12 weeks for a planned 16 week project), bang on budget, and excellent quality. Super helpful throughout, offering excellent value and advice, and always willing to talk through and help with decisions with not being pushy - in fact Mike often suggested and sourced a better but cheaper option which kept the same quality whilst helping us achieve our dream build. The wider team were fantastic and equally"

> "A number of projects with MKS. Top quality work, brilliant knowledge & reliability, and an all round great group of workers. I’d fully trust these with any future project, with the added help and advice given from these, when needed. I’d look no further than these in the future."

> "We bought a Victorian house in the New Forest, and it turned out to be in a worse shape than we realised. Finding MKS was great though, they've been really helpful, down to earth and honest. They've stuck to the quoted budget, given really useful advice, and we'd thoroughly recommend them, and will be using them again."

## 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.
