Highlights
"I have been relying on Maurice for the past year whilst I have been renovating my house. He has done all the major carpentry work in the house. I live on my own and so it was imperative to find a trustworthy, honest, reliable tradesperson. From meeting Maurice, I was able to then find other tradesmen from his recommendations to do the plumbing, electrical work and so on. Maurice has been very helpful and I would recommend him to anyone. He is a brilliant carpenter and he knows how to do it to a high standard. There is not a lot Maurice cannot do! He is very patient and understanding also."

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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
