Highlights
"Craig was excellent from start to finish. He was transparent about timelines and costs, and when issues arose (like the wrong dishwasher being delivered) he adjusted plans to minimise delays. He gave balanced advice on kitchen suppliers and never pushed one option. Working from home, I always felt comfortable and he kept disruption low. His electricians, plasterers and tilers were all high quality and clearly respect him. Daily updates kept everything clear and on track. Finish quality was superb and everything was left clean and tidy each day. Highly recommend."
"Craig visited today it put a shed together for me. Despite the appalling weather and the shed coming in more pieces than it had any business coming in, Craig completely the job on time and a high standard. Thank you for your help and I’ll definitely be in touch in future for (less faffy) work!"
"Great quality work at a fair price. The project was completed quickly and left very neat and tidy."

Before you hire a builder
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.
