Highlights
"Excellent work, on time, completed work in one day and great guy (Aaron) Would recommend A+"
"Aaron was an excellent choice, he was prompt with good comms, very punctual and did a great job A+"
"We had a structural wall knocked through and a stud wall built to create a larger kitchen space. Aaron and his team are amazingly efficient & completed the job within a week, following the drawings provided by our structural surveyor including a structural steel beam. Communication is v-good & job went as planned. Quality of the work was excellent with any issues re radiator pipes and electricity solved as Aaron can recommend other trades if required. Plastering was done to a high standard with super-smooth finish & everything was cleared away & tidied up at the end of the job"

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.
