## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Dean fixed our back garden wall perfectly and we were so pleased with his flexibility and work that we had him come back and do our front garden wall as well. He is reliable, punctual and really skilled."
> Source: Rachel M (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Dean did a very good job on the exterior brickwork of my house, fault finding and fixing cracks in the mortar. He always arrived on time, and completed all of the work skilfully and at a reasonable price that matched the quotation exactly. He had a good knowledge of what had caused the cracks and explained beforehand exactly what did and did not need doing and was very reassuring. In other words he is an honest, competent, experienced and trustworthy professional and I would recommend him for any pointing and brickwork repairs."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Very good communication from the start. Quoted when he said he would, arrived at the time stated for the job and completed it on schedule. The low level wall was in a really poor state prior, he took down rebuilt the worst parts, and tidied up the better sections, it now looks really smart and isn't at risk of falling over. Im also pleased he recycled the existing bricks where he could, as it is better for the environment and saved memoney on material costs."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
