Highlights
"Professional, prompt, good problem solver, left spaces immaculate. Highly recommend!"
"Great stuff from Handyrat coming to reseal our bathrooms today. The job was made even harder due to my previous temp fix job but they still carried out the work in really quick time. Very good service and very clean and polite. Great firm."

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?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Handyrat before you contact them.
