Highlights
"David is a very professional and a thorough builder. He does an excellent job, is willing to discuss ideas with the client, turns up on time and finishes the job. He is tidy and conscientious about the client's property. I would recommend."
"Paul completed carpentry work to 2 rooms in the house. In 1 room he fitted bespoke alcove storage with cupboards and shelving next to a chimney. In the other he built a desk and bench seat in a bedroom. We were thrilled with the high quality of the work. Paul was reliable, incredibly tidy and it was a pleasure to have him in the house - We are planning to get him back to do some more work soon!"
"Paul and Dave did a great job converting my garage to an office and storage space, as well as removing the internal wall between kitchen and dining room. Really pleased with the end result."

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.
