"While we didn’t proceed with the proposed works agreed (due to a change in our personal circumstances), this company deserves to have a review on its conduct alone. From the first call to end, Ollie was professional throughout, listened tentatively to our every request and offered advice where needed. Clearly experienced and contactable always, if we had proceeded, Ollie’s consistency and flexibility gave me enough confidence to believe the work would have been carried out thoroughly and to perfection, until satisfied.

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.
