Highlights
"marvin was here on time and worked hard all day and has done an amazing job i would recomend him i am over the moon with my new flooring will defo use him again"
"OG provided a friendly, quality service from quote to completion. We are extremely happy with the work and would recommend them to all."
"Communication, timing, price, was all great. And the job is done, and before Christmas on short notice, when I had procrastinated organising to do it for months. So that’s great. But the work wasn’t what I’d hoped. There were a few things on the manufacturer’s instructions that weren’t followed properly and I’ve had to fix. Worst was not doing the roof felt right, especially that it didn’t cover the edges & leaves gaps, so I have to buy flashing tape & a new roof covering. I suspect they thought they had expertise to do it quickly & easily but they actually needed to be more thorough/precise."

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.
