> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Marc was extremely helpful in discussing the different options to consider budget but also ensuring the needs are met. He suggested a great solution of having a raised ceiling to accommodate the tall gym rack. He managed the coordination of the installation of the lights. Great communication throughout with the job done on time to high attention to detail and high quality."

> "With a flat roof pouring in over 60 Ltrs in a bad downpour we needed someone at short notice, We was given the number from a friend of MJ Darby, Mark came round looked at was was going on and within a day or so we received the quote, the quote was good for the level of work which was needed including building control help and advise. Once we agreed the quote it was a matter of days before they arrived and was followed by a material delivery. No messing around the jobs got done, the mess all cleaned up and the bill didn't go up by £1 ! Glad to have met them for sure will be back when needed."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
