## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I was initially recommended to Squibbs by my neigbours and have previously had them work on my house, so I went straight to them to refurbish my conservatory and render my outside walls. They don't just do a great job, they're a pleasure to have around, always cleared up at the end of each day and I was happy to leave them to it when I had to go out to work or for any other reason. I was especially grateful that they alerted me to a gable end that was clearly in need of attention and was impressed with how quickly the necessary work was carried out."

> "R Squibb and his team are a great old school type builder that can be trusted to do a great job. I have used them before for work on our current house which they did a fantastic job of. So they where my 1st call when I needed work on a new project they we are going to live in. They did a large garage extension among many other major bits of work. and when ever I have a new idea they worked with me to understand what I was trying to do and priced the work prompt. The advice for all of the ream was good and helpful. but in particular From Chris (Rons Son) and Adam (Rons Brother)."

Did an excellent job and my Mother is very pleased"

## 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.
