Highlights
"“Thank you Hamish and team for your professionalism and quality workmanship — I’m very pleased with the outcome. Hamish and team sorted out a problem with pooling on the newly laid patio that two other tradesman couldn’t. The team worked extremely hard and to a very high standard. They are so good I’ve asked them to come back and do a patio and new turf at the front. Once again thank you so much. A truly satisfied customer"
"After listing our job on Check a trade Hamish contacted us and was able to come out to look at what we would like to do to our front garden that week. We had a steep area down to the house which was full of weed which we wanted clearing and replacing with a lawn. On the other side there was a low awful looking breeze block wall with a narrow piece of border again full of weed. Hamish used his expertise to transform what was an eye sore into something which is really lovely. Thank you Hamish and all your team for an excellent transformation of our front garden."
"Really good and very much recommended. Hamish and the team were punctual, reliable and tidy, fulfilling the brief as requested. Really liked that they were resourceful, recycling where possible. Will look to use the team for future jobs, as it also seems their team have a host of skills."

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.
