Highlights
"Nigel first did work for us 18 months ago when he removed patio doors from our conservatory. Since then he has done a lot more work including knocking out a horrible old shower room to create a utility room, and cladding back and front. He has just completed cladding our front and coming back to do lots more jobs for us. He is so trustworthy and honest and so experienced in what he does, he always wants to do his best even if it takes longer, and he has had a few nasty surprises when knocking things about for us but always finds a way round a problem! Best thing we ever did contacting him!"
"Nigel did a wonderful job for us ,building a downstairs shower room . Professional and he had very good suggestions . He stuck to the estimate, no nasty surprises. Left the area clean and tidy.. Nigel also has a team of trusted professionals. Plumber, Plasterer,Electrician. He had very good time keep and is totally trustworthy and respectful. A pleasure to have Nigel and his team in our home"
"Nigel is a very experienced builder and throughout our project made excellent suggestions of how our build could be improved. His work has added value to the property and created real kerbside appeal (and had some wonderful feedback from the neighbourhood) He is friendly and of good nature and one we trusted with our house keys when we were at work. I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a first time builder that may be hesitant."

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.
