Highlights
"Nick responded very fast to our request for a quote and delivered exactly what he promised. He communicated clearly, arrived bang on time and completed the job to our satisfaction. It was a pleasure to deal with him and we would certainly recommend his services."
"Punctual, polite and completed works how we wanted it done, nothing was too much trouble we had a change of plans halfway through and nick sorted everything so works would still finish on time"
Detailed reviews
Nick responded quickly to my garage conversion proposal with a competitive quote, and we quickly were able to discuss the job and agree a date to carry the work out. He and his colleague were both pleasant and punctual on the work days. We ran into some issues around communication, with a misunderstanding of the parameters of the project resulting in an initial mistake with the work. There was also a slight issue afterwards with the finishing of the brickwork, which Nick was happy to come back and rectify. Despite a few setbacks, we are pleased with the final 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.
