Highlights
"I have used Richard previously and yet again an excellent job done in a timely manner New side gate"
"I am so happy with the drive that RJ Scoble have just finished for me. Very helpful with suggestions on what would work best given my general direction. It looks better than I had imagined it. And due to hick ups with the weather was well worth the wait. They take pride in giving what the customer wants and providing a professional job at what i believe is a reasonable price!"
"The Richards have undertaken a number of gardening jobs for us, including laying of two separate patios. They have also completed other jobs including replacing garage roof paneling. The work has always been to an exceptionally high standard and the knowledge and experience they both possess make the decision making process very straight forward. They are self sufficient and were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering this type of work."

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.
