## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I have used SMC before and was so impressed, I asked them back to complete work at my new house. They block paved and resurfaced my front driveway with decorative stone and silicone rendered all brick walls. Workers were efficient, on time and kept the area clean and tidy, also done at a very competitive price. Would highly recommend."
> — Julie S (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Sean also our favourite builder out of everyone who quoted, and it just so happened he also came in cheapest. Sean’s team were incredible, always ready to start work dead on 8am, working full days and tidying up every single day leaving a spotless site. Nothing was an issue, even last minute additions of velux windows, and a slight relocation. The attention to detail was brilliant, and by far the best finish we’ve ever had from any builders. They also said the e project would take around 4 weeks and they were dead on the 4 weeks. Really impressed and would highly recommended"
> — Daniel N (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Excellent company. Did exactly what it says on the tin plus more. Efficient, friendly. Would highly recommend."

## 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.
