## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Martin was incredibly helpful and professional removign a wall between kitchen and dinign room, and also restoring a fireplace is a different room. He clearly has a great deal of experience and I'll defintely be contacting him again for any other building work I need to go ahead with"
> — Rory C (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Having hired Martin previously for underpinning our extension I had no hesitation in asking him to double the width of our block-paved driveway. Once again I am extremely pleased with the results, it looks fantastic. As well as being a clean and tidy builder, Martin was open to adapting the design so that the end result was exactly what we were looking for. As we have plans for further works for the property we will definitely be contacting Martin and Pentland Building and Groundworks again."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "We have used Martin for several jobs before and always been extremely happy. We recently engaged Martin to remove old wooden cladding, add insulation and add new cladding. He carried out these works with excellent skill and as unfortunately our house is not built very square Martin had a number of challenges to overcome. He kept us updated throughout the works and we are really pleased with the finished product."

## 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.
