Highlights
"Brett from ARC was professional and efficient throughout. He arrived early each day and worked diligently to complete the job ahead of schedule. He took great care to protect the surrounding areas while carrying out the brickwork and handled all rubble responsibly. The site was kept clean and tidy throughout, and he left everything spotless once the job was done. I’d happily recommend ARC and would definitely use Brett again in the future"
"Brett did an amazing job. Great comms from the moment we reached out to him and super reliable. Always here when he said he would be. Quality of work is brilliant and he kept us updated throughout the work and chatted through any options etc. Really happy with the work and would highly recommend. Genuinely decent and trustworthy guy"
"Brett has done an amazing job sorting out some work in my garage. He has great communication, good timekeeping, and is tidy and polite. I have more work due to be done and will definitely use him again."

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.
