> "Steve is highly skilled in his craft. He created a banquette seat and storage cupboards to my specification and I'm thrilled with the results. 100% trustworthy, reliable, professional and tidy. Completed the job around the other work going on at the house and ahead of schedule. Would not hesitate to recommend Steve and won't need to go anywhere else for any future projects :0)"

> "I have used Steve before and his work was excellent. This time, I had all my skirting done, window boards replaced and a new vanity table made from scratch. The work was completed very quick, professionally and to a high standard. I would always recommend and use Steve for any other work."

## 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.
