He accommodated any changes with experienced suggestions. His boys were very professional whilst super friendly, checking with me when decisions were needed. They always left the site as tidy as possible each day and informed me of the next tasks. His associated electrician and plumber were very efficient and understanding when I was unsure of best way forward, giving advice. and options. Winston was very reasonable with final invoice. too. We would highly recommend Winston's company." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Builder, Concrete contractor, Demolition contractor, Landscaper, Handyman ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Agricultural Building - Basement / Cellar Conversions - Brick / Concrete Structural Repairs - Building Merchants - Car Ports - Cladding - Concrete Garages - Concreting - Demolition - Equestrian Stable - Extensions / Conversions - Fire and Flood Renovation ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

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. ## Contact - Phone: 07446 754479 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/winston-james-construction-ltd-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
