"Derek gave me great advice on how to transform my garden with new slabs and decking. He gave a professional and friendly service. I am delighted with the results and the communication throughout the process was fantastic. Would highly recommend."
"Brad and the team carried out a major overhaul of our back garden which involved the removal of a significant amount of concrete (60+ tonnes), pond installation, construction of two retaining walls and a new patio. We are delighted with the result. Communication was excellent throughout. The team are all professional, courteous and hard-working, they carried on throughout very harsh January conditions to keep the project moving. Brad was always transparent on pricing throughout. In summary I cannot fault them and would use again without hesitation."

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.
