## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We approached a number of builders for a quotation. Tatum were one of only three who responded with a quotation and follow up call. The figure was slightly larger than we anticipated (though not the £20k higher a large company put forward), but Tatum met with us and we agreed ways of meeting our target without compromising quality or the overall feel of the build. We agreed a price and a start date. They were on site every day during the ten week build, everything happened according to schedule and within budget. Very impressed and would recommend highly."

> "From the initial visit to scope the project through to the build itself, Tatum builders have been fantastic. Taking on a derelict, dilapidated heritage property was a huge undertaking, and I could not be happier with the result. Always polite, courteous, and incredibly hard working, the team communicated well, keeping me in the loop throughout. My home needed a complete rework, rewiring, re-plumbing and extending. From liaising with planners, architects & structural engineers to building the extension, the team made sure every detail was carefully considered, clearly taking pride in their work"

> "Great communication from start to finish, fair competitive price. Alex, Kane and mat did a great job in the timeframe given. Would highly recommend and will definitely have them back for more work in the future."

## 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.
