Highlights
"I called Harley because of a roof leak that was getting water into the house. This roof had been repaired by another roofer but when Harley and Ethan looked at the roof they informed me that it's been poorly done. To make it worse when they started to try and fix it, they found out that the roof was in a very bad state and that the previous roofer built a new covering over rotting wood. Harley ripped it all off and did all the work and gave me a bit of discount so that it doesn't cost the full price of a new roof. Thanks Harley and Ethan. You guys are fab and I would always recommend you."
"Fitted a new gate and installed a new banister. They were through, did a great job good communications and just really nice!"
"Harley and Ethan did a fantastic job on panelling my lounge and hallway, as well as the under-stair storage. They made sure every bit was covered to a high standard, working late and also were happy to comeback when I wanted to add something on. They complete their work to a high standard and I am very pleased with the result. I would definitely call them again for any future jobs."

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 JHW WoodWorks before you contact them.
