Highlights
"James was very quick to come over and look at the job - and repaired it there and then!"
"James was easy and straightforward to deal with. He clearly explained what needed to be done and similarly took me through everything that had been done in detail. The issue I had was wet marks showing on my extension ceiling following heavy rain and wind. There hasn't been heavy rain since having the work done so I can't speak on whether the issue has been resolved, but James was clear that if any issues arise to give him a call."
"I asked James Corfe to move some guttering and a rain butt to make some space for an upcoming solar and battery installation. Very happy with the works done,"

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.
