Highlights
"Brian did an excellent job for us, blocking up a doorway and knocking through a wall into the kitchen. He then did a great job of plastering the walls and fireplace with associated electrics. I would highly recommend him for any building projects. He is very knowledgeable and an overall nice man."
"Brian did a fantastic job revamping my very old and dated bathroom. He removed the old tiles, plastered the walls, and replaced the bath with a modern walk‑in shower. The new vanity unit, toilet, and tiled shower area look brilliant, and the thermostatic shower works perfectly. He’s a multi‑skilled tradesman with great communication—he kept me updated, discussed ideas, and gave really helpful advice. He was patient when I changed my mind about the shower and even though it created more work for him he was more than accommodating. The finish is excellent, and I’d happily recommend him."
"Had my loft boarded and a new hatch put in. Brian was very pleasant to work with, was prompt and kept me up to date with everything. Cleaned up after himself and left everything looking as he found it (only with some more floorboards). Will definitely be approaching for any future work."

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.
