## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "There were a few unavoidable interruptions to the work, but Rob and his team are extremely professional and pleasant to have on site, and I have no hesitation in recommending this company."
> Source: Anonymous (4.9, via Checkatrade)

> "All building work has issues and challenges. It is how it is managed that counts. Because of issues around the wrong kitchen being ordered the company “made a loss” and their aftercare has been non existent. My main issue is the roof leaks. Despite numerous phone calls, emails and promises I have had to get a roofer in to resolve. I now have a cost of £600 I would like a refund on and also internal decoration is needed to repair the leak which will be a further cost. I picked this builder mainly due to check a trade and wish an urgent resolution"

> "Refitting our kitchen involved knocking down an inner wall and as part of the job, The Only Handyman re-painted all of the downstairs lounge, dining area and snug. They did a great job from giving advice on colours when I asked, to suggesting the best ways to invest the budget I had. The rooms now look lovely and the job has been finished to a very high standard"

## 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.
