Highlights
"Chris is a genuine and really nice man. He worked tirelessly on his own for three weeks to ensure that he provided exactly what we were hoping for. When discovering unexpected extra things that needed putting right he just took it all in his stride, communicating really well with us every step of the way to ensure that we understood what he was doing and that it was what we wanted and was more than happy to discuss and alter things along the way to ensure we were happy. We absolutely love our little beach style garden and can't wait for spring and summer to arrive so that we can enjoy it."
"A very good worker"
"Chris has done several jobs for us and is reliable, friendly and completes work within timescales and to a good standard. We had a modern battened fence built from scratch and it looks great. Chris is hardworking, competent and competitively priced. We are really pleased with the fence and will be using him for other garden projects in the future."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
