Highlights
"Fair quote, friendly communication throughout, and very polite. Work was completed on time and the workmanship was good. I would happily recommend"
"Kay’s Build was contracted to refurbish one of my properties after tenants had not looked after it during their time there, they where very efficient and professional in the way they conducted the work. I was always kept up to date with the progress and was extremely happy with the attention to detail. Everything was finished within the time frame that was given. I will definitely be using them again on any future property renovations."
"Really helpful guys offered good advice and completed the job with minimum fuss. Minor snagging was sorted promptly with no quibbles. Will use again."

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.
