Highlights
"The Team turned up promptly on the arranged day. Ripped out the old decking and put in completely new decking asking for my approval at various stages. They also took out the shed panels that had been damaged by rats and replaced with new panels making sure it was reinforced on the inside by putting in new struts. They also cleared away all the debris and took it away. I was so pleased with their work I'm having them back to replace my patio as soon as they are available. Thanks so much guys."
"Danny and his team did two excellent jobs for us. They arrived when they said they would. They cleared several overgrown garden beds in the back garden and cleared away all the waste. The second job was to clear a front border of overgrown trees and shrubs and errect a front fence. The fence was exctly what we wanted and they kept us informed of everything they were doing. They made sure that everything was correctly measured. The finished result was so good that a few neighbours commented on how good it looks. Once again all waste was taken and everything left clean and tidy. Many thanks."
"Danny attended within an hour of my calling him and I was immediately impressed with his grasp of the situation. In the event, his services did not prove necessary but I would have had no hesitation in employing him to do the work."

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.
