## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Not only did Philip (Obrien Welder and Fabricator) make our gates he helped us with the original design adding his advice and ideas whilst listening to what we wanted. He kept us informed all the way through the making and then came and fitted them in a clean and professional manner. We are thrilled with our gates."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Philip came to remove a gate stop and reweld it on the other side so as the gate would open inwards, he quoted from the photos I sent gave me a date and time and was punctual, he arrived at 9am as stated and was very polite, as we have a thatched roof he felt more comfortable in removing the gate and taking it back to the workshop, and said he would be back at 2pm,,and right on time he turned up job done and rehung the gates, couldn't have asked for a better job."

> "The gate is beautifully made and the installation coped neatly with all the slight irregularities of the opening it had to be fitted into. We are really pleased with it."

## 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.
