Highlights
"Daniel responded promptly to the job posting, visited the house and gave a detailed and realistic quotation, including an extra small job. They did all the work efficiently over three mornings, and left the house clean and tidy, having carefully protected all surrounding furniture. Daniel and Sam were a pleasure to work with, and will be first on my list for future work."
"Very professional and friendly team. They were reliable, helpful, and punctual every day. The work was completed ahead of schedule without any compromise on quality. They kept the area exceptionally clean and tidy throughout and discussed each step with us to ensure we were happy with everything. The final result was finished to the highest standard. We couldn’t be happier with the work they’ve done for us and would highly recommend them."
"Daniel Russell had done excellent work for us before laying an engineered oak floor, so great to ask him to do a small straightforward job restoring a 30 year old maple kitchen worktop. First class work. Looks like new once again!"

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.
