Highlights
"Luke has completed work on front wing which was dented along the seam. Done a fantastic job, high quality and very professional . I would certainly recommend Luke"
"Luke has been great at taking care of a significant body scratch caused by a graze with a bollard. He dealt directly with insurance and the body workshop. The work was done in good time. He even arranged a courtesy car for the duration of the work. Superb experience, definitely recommend."
"Contact made, came round to check on work required, gave estimate and agreed a date. Turned up on time (cold frosty morning!) got the job done - made a perfect job of the repair! Friendly efficient service. Strongly recommend to anyone"

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 ChipsAway Esher before you contact them.
