Highlights
"Ryan went above and beyond to fit my job in as I was having trouble shutting my front door. He was courteous and communicated throughout (my diary was a nightmare). As it was only a small job I appreciate the effort made to get it sorted. Highly recommended!"
"Ryan fitted 2 doors for me, one of which was for the bathroom with the deadbolt feature. He was very meticulous in his work and did a great job. Ryan is currently preparing a quote for me to build some under-stair drawers."
"Fitted a lovely kitchen top for me, great job"

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.
