Highlights
"Had our trustworthy tradesman attend the address to change over a wall mounted fire place that they had build years ago. Very clean and tidy work carried out and very satisfied with the works completed"
"Had my banister done by Mike! Was so helpful when speaking to him about what I envisioned and was so great with providing me with options to get the exact thing I wanted at a price best suited for me! He was really lovely, approachable and very professional! Polite gentleman and done an absolute amazing job! I could not fault at all! I’m in love with my new banister it’s everything that we wanted and more! He was really quick, great communicator and job is done to very high quality! I highly recommend his services and I will continue to use this company for future house renovations!"
"I've just had this company gut and refit my kitchen. The result is spectacular. The removal of units revealed some shoddy work by previous fitting company and Mike put all this right as he went along so my kitchen is safe and looks amazing. I found that he always kept me informed throughout, turned up when he said he would and worked professionally at all times. The site was tidied and cleaned at the end of each day and the work was completed a little ahead of schedule. I will use this firm again and am very happy to recommend him to my friends and family."

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.
