Highlights
"Derek 7has done a couple of jobs for us, which we are delighted with. One job was repairs and repointing to existing brickwork, the other was building a long retaining wall in the garden. We were happy to leave him to get on with his work, confident he was doing the best job possible. He left the working areas tidy afterwards. Would definitely recommend."
"The most reliable tradesperson I've met. Turns up when he says he will. Works through all weathers and does a great job. He dug a trench out and made a french drain in our courtyard"
"Derek repointed our front wall - about 14 yards long. It must be 80-90 years old, but Derek made it look as good as new. We are absolutely delighted. Derek is a real professional - he did exactly what he said he would, when he said he would do it, and to the price he had quoted. He cares about what he does which means he will always do the best which can be done. Thank you Derek."

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.
