I would recommend them without hesitation." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Applethorpe Developments carried out an extension to our property, comprising of a utility room and a one bedroom annexe, with kitchen/lounge/diner and bathroom. Prior to commencement we received a detailed cost and time plan. The whole team were great, we were updated weekly on what would be happening and who would be on site. All works were completed in a timely manner and all trades including electricians/plumbers/painters/carpenters/kitchen fitters were very tidy, respectful and helpful. The end result is fabulous, great workmanship. Would highly recommend!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "I found the company very reliable. Communication was terrific during the whole process - prices were discussed and all options were talked through. This made the process transparent and avoided any major surprises.

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: 07460 996836 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/applethorpe-developments-limited Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
