## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I found S&S to be very fast, efficent and professional. Was impressed with the attention to detail that ended with a great finish. Ensured any arreas they had to access whilst working in my Property were also kept clean and tidy. A very satisfied customer."

> "We are very happy with the workmanship and attention to detail carried out by the S&S team. It was a big job which was well managed, they turned up every morning as planned and tidied up at the end of the day. They were trustworthy and we had no worries about giving them a key for the house, especially as we had to move out for a few weeks during the build. We would recommend them for any job big or small."

> "S&S Joinery and Building Service LTD have just completed a big renovation job on our house which included moving a stair case and a full attic conversion with three dormers - making what was one room upstairs into two good sized bedrooms, a small study and a shower room. The standard of service and level of workmanship was fantastic. Gareth is a highly skilled joiner – his attention to detail and finishing skills are second to none. He was also super friendly, reliable and very communicative. We are delighted with the end result and cannot recommend Gareth and his team 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.
