Highlights
"Glen considered the issue and previous attempts to remedy it before suggesting a plan of work and providing an estimate. The plan was sensible and cost acceptable. He cut out brickwork to check the condition of the tray above the bay window - the tray had sagged appreciably and there was a crack in it, which could explain the issues experienced. He replaced the tray, made sure the flashing was correctly in place and replaced the bricks. He also repointed the brickwork and applied clear brick sealer over the relevant section of wall. I have no hesitation recommending his services."
"Glenn repaired a crack that had appeared in our garage wall. He arrived promptly at the agreed time and explained the process how the repair was to be done. The work was carried out to a very high standard and the work area was left clean and tidy. Highly recommended."
"Glen demolished a front brick wall and rebuilt to our specification. He did an excellent job against some challenging weather."

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.
