Highlights
"We hired Josh to do our driveway and were pleasantly surprised with the professionalism and overall finish of the work carried out. Josh kept us posted day to day on what was being done. The work was underway when Josh said it would be and was completed within the estimated timescale. Our property was left clean and tidy each day while the work was being done. Highly recommend !"
"Great company, communicative and flexible"
"I’m absolutely delighted with the landscaping work carried out on my front garden. From the first visit to the final day, Joshua and Jack were a pleasure to work with—friendly, professional, and always willing to answer any questions I had. They kept me informed at every stage, showing real honesty and transparency in their communication. The project was completed exactly on time, and the finished garden looks even better than I expected. The attention to detail and quality of the workmanship really shows. I couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend R&F. Thank you so much"

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.
