Highlights
"Nigel and Marcus are very professional and hardworking. They turn up when they say they will and communicate well. They have done a few different job for me in the last few years: installing a window in a stone wall, plastering, concreting and other groundworks and I would highly recommend them."
"The team were hard working and professional. No hassle and adapted to some changes we had. Really pleased."
"Worked hard to get the job done despite awful weather. Worked over the weekend to get the job finished."

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.
