Highlights
"Ben and his team completed a recent garage conversion for us, and we had a great overall experience. We're really pleased with the quality of the work, and there was complete transparency with cost - the quote agreed upfront was the amount paid, no hidden extra's. I was particularly impressed with how if I or Ben were not 100% happy with something at any point they would change it without question. They want to make sure its right, which is great to see. Would highly recommend."
"Ben and his team did a very good set of jobs, would certainly recommend."
"Ben and his carried out all the works I requested on time (given the weather), left the site tidy and workmanship is perfect. Thanks again for sorting this project out."

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.
