Highlights
"Chris blocked up an internal fireplace, hung a picture and painted our kitchen ceiling following a leak, whilst painting the ceiling Chris found that the leak we had thought had been previously repaired by a plumber was still leaking. Chris then thoroughly investigated the problem, identified the source of the leak (which 2 previous trades people hadn't discovered) located & fixed the leaking pipe, & undertook repair works to the ceiling & bathroom floor. All works were carried out to an excellent standard, Chris is incredibly knowledgable, friendly and approachable and would highly recommend."
"Chris was always polite and careful in his work. We are pleased with the results and would recommend him to others. Thank you Chris."
"Chris did a great job carrying out repairs to the floor in my extension. He fixed the hole and laid a new laminate floor. We agreed a price and he was able to start work soon after. He was quick and courteous and I was very pleased with the quality of his work."

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.
