## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "If we had to do it all again, we'd use Quirk Design & Build. It’s very nerve wracking when you put your faith in someone you don't know, especially with such an important and big value decision, but we are so glad we chose them. Darryl listened to everything we said and pulled together a hard working team who were fun to be around and had great pride in what they did, be it groundwork, bricklaying, plastering, tiling, electrical work or plumbing. We are so happy with the finished product and the joy these new rooms give us was worth every penny. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

## 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.
