Highlights
"Excellent work by all staff and communication with Mr Dyson at all times. Would recommend them as doing reliable and honest work."
"Excellent service from start to finish. When offering a quote, it was clear that Daryl knew what he was talking about. On the first day, there was a problem that we were initially unaware of but that didn't phase Daryl. He came up with a solution and it was sorted the next day. Definitely recommend R&D, no doubt."
"The guys were professional and did a great job. There was an issue with the delivery, but this was out of their hands and was resolved quickly. I would 100% recommend them and would use them again."

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.
