Highlights
"We have used Adrian for over 10 years now. Adrian is very knowledgeable and experienced and is always trying to find the best solution to a problem, even if it will take him longer. We never had to call him back to redo a job. He is also very clean and well organised with his tasks. We highly recommend him. He is also easy to have around."
"Adrian did an utterly fantastic job laying tiles to complete a broken patch in our church. Somehow, he blended the newly-laid tiles seamlessly with the originals (from the 1860s), and you cannot even tell anything has been touched. We are extremely impressed with the workmanship. Adrian is an extremely hard worker who came in on Saturdays to complete the job in time for a big service we were having, and he is clearly highly skilled. We would highly recommend Adrian."
"Adrian did a fantastic job refitting my flat: excellent quality work, very professional and a nice guy as well. Highly recommended."

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.
