## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I'm always worried about having tradesmen doing very large jobs of a high quality but there was no need to worry when accepting the quote from REF. They are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and I received excellent workmanship and good communication. The bathrooms were done to an extremely high quality."

> "Right from quotation stage, Richard was friendly, informative and knowledgeable which put us right at ease. We received multiple quotes which were cheaper but we felt Richard was worth the extra money. He helped us with decisions regarding the bathroom and lead us to making the correct decisions for our bathroom whilst ultimately working to our vision. I would also like to mention that Marc, one of the other plumbers on the job, was super friendly and an absolute joy to be around whilst they were doing work. The speed and quality of their work means I would recommend again and again. 10/10"

## 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.
