Highlights
"We recently had the pleasure of working with Terry on a full timber kitchen renovation, and we couldn't be happier with the result. From start to finish, Terry was incredibly professional, respectful, and meticulous in his work. We were very specific with what we wanted, and Terry delivered on every request—nothing was too much trouble. What began as a straightforward kitchen fit-out quickly turned into a much bigger job, including removing a dividing wall, installing new tiled flooring, a new ceiling, and, of course, the new kitchen itself. He dealt with everything and gave us top quality."
"Checkatrade welcome review."
"Terry and his team did various bits of work for us at the end of last year. We were very happy with the work, which required a fair bit of juggling by Terry as certain bits got added as we went along. All was done to a good standard and Terry and his whole team were very friendly and pleasant to deal with. We would definitely use them 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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Atkins Home Improvements before you contact them.
