Highlights
"Quick to respond to initial inquiry and carry out repairs."
"Garry was very prompt and attentive. We have had problems with the roof for a number of years and, fingers crossed, he has fixed it"
"Garry was brilliant throughout, didn't look to puchin me into more expensive options as some others did and listened when i wanted something slightly different from the first solution quoted. Garry and the team worked hard and completed the work to a good standard, leaving the house clean each night. Highly recomended."

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.
