Highlights
"Excellent service, arrived on time, completed the work to a high standard, left it clean and tidy, skilled polite workmen, would highly recommend!"
"Pete and his team are awesome! We've used him twice now for different jobs, once when he had just started out and then we're overjoyed to see he'd been running such a successful business in the intervening years so asked him to come back and quote us for our recent building work. His attention to detail and quality finishes meant we were really really happy with what him and his team have done. Left everywhere really clean and all his team and him were lovely to have around, which makes a stressful job far easier. Thanks Pete!"
"Peter and his team are a joy to deal with, they are polite and professional and go out of their way saving you the problem of any future issues."

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.
