Highlights
"Great communication and very personable. He did an excellent job and took on an extra job for me . I will certainly use him again"
"When I discovered my bathroom floor had rotted around the shower tray I was shocked. As the work to put in a new shower cubicle had started, I had to find help fast. I put out an sos on checkatrade, Chris was one of a few that responded, came to look the next day, gave me a quote, came the following day, and was able to remove all the floor tiles and flooring, replacing the joists as needed to give me a stable floor. They were punctual, very efficient and tidied up at the end. I am really pleased, won’t hesitate to recommend them and would be pleased to have them back."

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.
