Highlights
"Fox Maintenance undertook all aspects of our kitchen and cloakroom build, from plans through to painting. They were easy to communicate with and always available to discuss the project. The team were here promptly every morning and tidied up every evening, they were very respectful of us living here. Work was completed to a high standard and I will use again for any further projects."
"We were really impressed with the care and attention given by Richard & the team. Every area was fully protected before commencement of work. Tidy-up was done every day. The care taken and the quality of the work is of the best quality and the finished result is as if the window(s) had always been there (you cannot see the join). :-) I have no hesitation in recommending Fox Maintenance because all of Richard's people are first rate."
"We had a fireplace and wall removed, Richards team carefully demolished the fireplace and wall to find out what was needed. They worked with our structural engineer and our local council to reduce the amount of steel needed. They also reduced the cost after being able to do so. Very happy with the work done wished we'd hired him to do the decorating too."

Smart checks
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.
