Highlights
"Craig and his team built my kitchen extension. The work started just after lockdown, they were friendly and Craig kept me informed at every stage of the build. Was really nice to have someone friendly and knowledgeable so the job. At no point did I feel concerned from coming round to quote to completion. Craig also dealt with the building control inspector, which was a great relief. They were even great with my 2 dogs who loved the team!"

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.
