Highlights
"Kevin did a really good job finishing my patio slabs, turned up on time and worked quickly. Good communication and professional conduct."
"Very pleased with the work, very quick and very friendly."
"Very friendly and efficient work by Kevin - decking looks good overall (though with one or two cracked boards). Communication was maybe a bit unclear regarding the length of the job - it ended up being two half days rather than one whole, which meant taking extra time off work - and I needed to send a reminder to pick up excess wood/tools, but this was done promptly and I'm very satisfied with the end result."

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.
