Highlights
"Chris has completed two projects for us, including a renovation and loft conversion, and we are very happy with the high quality of his work. He is easy and friendly to communicate with, the standard of the tradesmen that he uses are great, he takes pride in the finish of the project and ensures that the work place is tidied away as far as practicable each day. The projects were both completed on time. I would recommend Chris for further 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.
