Provided us with a quote within a few days, started work promptly on an agreed date and let us know how long the job would take. The work was completed to a high standard and everything was left neat and tidy. They were happy to move and return very heavy garden pots that we were unable to manage ourselves.

Smart checks
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.
