Highlights
"Harry is a honest, extremely helpful, and respectful builder. Him and Sam have done a few jobs for us now and they arrived on time, worked hard, and the work was completed to a very good quality standard. It is hard to find honest and reliable tradespeople who are extremely good at their trade - thankfully for us Harry is one of those people. We have no hesitation in having Harry (and team) back for future projects. Money well spent."
"Harry is the most honest, kind and helpful builder I’ve ever encountered. He goes above and beyond to help and always takes the time to explain, work around any problem and offer affordable solutions. He’s also full of interesting stories and life experience so him working in the house when you’re in is a treat! Harry is my go to for anything building or skilled handyman related and would happily recommend him to anyone in the Folkestone area."
"Harry is a very hard working, polite and straight to the point multi tradesman. He is a very experienced fitter and installed my kitchen quickly and efficiently, i am extremely pleased with the finished results and couldn't of asked for better. Clean, fresh and looks amazing, Fabulous job, 100% recommend. Thank you!!"

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 Honest Builders before you contact them.
