Highlights
"Hudson carried out a very difficult utility trenching job for us and did a great job throughout. The work wasn’t straightforward, but he handled it professionally from start to finish. He was reliable, knowledgeable, and clearly took pride in doing the job properly. Communication was clear, the site was left tidy, and we felt confident in his work at all times. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

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.
