The major part of the work was carried out efficiently and on time, as with all projects there was a few issues but these were dealt with to our satisfaction. The building inspector comments "that the work was carried out to high standard" which gave us the peace of mind. Would I have them back and recommend them, yes. Thanks"

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.
