"I cannot fault Paul for his work. He is very polite and professional and I would highly recommend him."
"Most highly recommended! Communication was frequent, clear and courteous during, before and after the works. The quality of craftsmanship and tidiness was impressive. The quote was fair considering the wonderful results. Absolutely reliable and punctual. We are so pleased and will contact them again in the new year for future projects. Thank you."
"Paul did an excellent job expanding our bedroom, expertly dismantling the existing section and installing a new stud wall. The area was left clean and tidy, reflecting his professionalism and attention to detail. We will definitely be in touch for future projects"

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.
