Highlights
"Work completed to a high standard offering great advice along the way to achieve a better end result, i.e. going for vaulted ceiling, choice of materials etc,. Co-ordinated all other trades perfectly getting them onsite as and when required. Very good communication via email and text message"
"Simon's work was excellent. He has a great team of workmen and each job was organised well with good communication. Even though the removal of the chimney was not as easy as first thought, Simon tackled the job and the resulting layout and finish of my new kitchen is amazing. I am especially pleased the finished walls, extra shelving etc make the new design work, creating a large and light space. Many thanks too for lots of good advice, leaving the house clean and tidy and keeping to my budget!"
"Simon is meticulous in his approach, and we are delighted with the results. He clearly enjoys problem solving, and his attention to detail is impressive. He always kept us in the loop, and ensuring that we were happy with what was being done was always uppermost in his mind. This was a fairly complex job, working in some fairly confined spaces, but it seems Simon has the aptitude to turn his hand to almost anything in the trade! Without question we will return to him for any future projects and would recommend him without reservation."

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.
