Highlights
"Jak got in touch and come out to view the work that needed doing really quickly. His quote was very reasonable and I was happy to go ahead. One the day the work was carried out he provided photos and a video before and after the work for reference. He's a really friendly guy and I would definitely recommend him. He'll be the first person I contact if I need brick work doing in the future"
"Jak was absolutely brilliant from start to finish and communicated extremely well with us. He turned up on time, carried out the job to a very professional level and tided up afterwards. Absolutely recommend Jak."

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.
