## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "All work completed as agreed and to a high standard. Reliable when visiting to quote and complete the work. No problems and I would definitely use them again."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "At the end of last year I decided to extend my kitchen so I could have bi fold doors and a island to create more space and to have extra storage and cupboards. Ryan at Thompsons came out to look at the plans and area we had and gave me a quote within a week. We had to stop half way through due to covid19 but thompsons made sure my kitchen was able to be used and as tidy as possible until the work could carry on. I couldn't be happier with how my kitchen now looks and id highly recommend using S Thompson builders if you're looking to have your kitchen fitted or for an extension."

## 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.
